information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On
occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with

StudySSCOnlineTM
uses your personal information for specific purposes only. The personal information
you provide to us when using the Web site, such as your name, postal, e-mail address
or telephone number will be kept confidential and used to support your relationship
with StudySSCOnlineTM
to notify you of special offers, updated information and new products and services
from StudySSCOnlineTM,

for StudySSCOnlineTM.
Sharing information with Third Parties
StudySSCOnlineTM
may enhance or merge your information collected at its Web site with data from third
parties for purposes of marketing products or services to you. With respect to network
advertising companies (companies that manage and provide advertising for numerous
unrelated companies), to the extent that StudySSCOnlineTM utilizes such advertising companies
to provide advertisements on the Web site, may provide them with your Sign in Name
and any demographic information about you that we collect. Those advertising companies
may combine that data with non-personally identifiable data collected by the advertising
company from your computer, solely for the purpose of delivering on our Web site,
advertisements that are targeted to you.
Circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal information
to third parties for purposes other than to support your customer relationship with

pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.
We will send you information about our various products and services, or other products

or its agents or contractors working on behalf of StudySSCOnlineTM
and under confidentiality agreements will send you these direct mailings.
