WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and to provide you with information about products or services that may be of interest
to you, we may collect "personal information" (i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly
(without using the Site) such as full name, postal address, phone number or email address), "financial information"
(i.e. credit card numbers or passwords) or "demographic information" (i.e. information that you submit,
or that we collect, that is neither personal information nor financial information; this may include, but is not
limited to, zip code, postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, purchase history information, browsing
history information, searching history information, registration history information, and the content of communications
between you and other members over the Site), subject to the rest of this paragraph. Demographic information is
divided into two categories: 1) "non-public information", which consists of purchase history information
and one-on-one communications between you and other users of the Site; and 2) "public information", which
consists of all other demographic information. We ask that you do not enter personal information or financial information
into your "Profile" (for example, don't use your address or passcode as your username, or include your
name or address in your written responses), because if you do then it may be posted publicly on the Site, and the
information will then be treated as "demographic information" that is "public information."
Please note that no where on the Site do we knowingly collect personal information from children under the age
of 18, as we require that all users represent to us that they are at least 18 years old.

of users and to build web usage profiles. CycoticCycles.com uses these web usage profiles and stored Search Terms to determine

In addition, the URLs we collect sometimes contain personal information about you. For example, when you enter
information on a Web page (e.g., when you complete an online registration form or sign up for a contest), the operator
of the Web site may insert that information into its URL for that or the next page. This information often appears
after a question mark ("?") in the URL, although it can appear in other places. This means that your
name, your address, your email address, or similar information you might consider private or personally identifiable
which you enter into a Web page sometimes becomes part of a URL that is then transmitted to CycoticCycles.com and automatically
stored in CycoticCycles.com databases. This can also occur with words, topics, products, or phrases you enter into search
engines - whether those engines are provided by the Service itself or found elsewhere on the Web - while using
the Service. CycoticCycles.com has no control over what information third party Web sites put into their URLs or where they
put it, but any information in each URL is collected and stored by CycoticCycles.com when you are using the Service.

timely Content and services. In addition to the use of the personally identifiable information when providing the
service itself as described above, this information may be used to identify demographic trends and generate statistics
of usage and popularity of the services, so we can improve them. We will not provide your personal information
to third parties directly, however we will use the information to determine what Content and services to communicate
to you. We may provide Personal Information to third parties if we believe, in good faith, that such release is
reasonably necessary to comply with law or enforce or apply the terms of our user agreement.

purpose other than that for which they are retained.

Internet Protocol Address
An Internet Protocol ("IP") address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer
each time you connect to the Internet. When you use your Web browser to request a Web page from another computer
on the Internet, your Web browser automatically gives that computer your IP address so that the data you request
can be sent to your computer. For many users who access the Internet from a dial-up Internet service provider (ISP),
the IP address will be different every time they log on ("dynamic" IP addresses); others may be assigned
only one IP address that remains the same from session to session ("static" IP addresses) (more common
with broadband ISPs).
Uniform Resource Locator
A URL (or uniform resource locator) is the full Web address of a file or document you view when browsing the Internet.
With most browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, the URL of every Web page that you
view is displayed in a window near the top of the screen. Typically, a URL consists of four parts: protocol, server
(or domain) where the file is located, path, and filename. However, some URLs have no path or filename.
Usage Paths
A usage path is the trail of requests automatically transmitted to and logged by Miamimatres as a user surfs the
Internet with the Software installed. Usage paths may consist of, but is not limited to, the following data for
each Web page visited by an CycoticCycles.com user: (a) the IP address assigned to the user; (b) the date and time the Web
page is visited by the user; (c) the user's browser type and version; (d) the user's operating system and version;
(e) the user's User ID; and (f) the full URL that the site assigns to the Web page.
