expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and
to notify you of your order status. You will also be asked to create
a special user name and password so that you may access your profile
in the future (and so you don't have to re-enter all your information
again). When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may
ask for your name, address, and email address so we can administer
the contest and notify winners. When you submit a "Contact"
request or a "Support" request via our website, we will need

store any of this information on file. We simply need this
information so that we may respond to you and answer your question.
After a response is given to you, your request information is
destroyed. If a user elects to use our referral service for informing
a friend about our site or a product offered, we ask them for their
friend's name and email address. eMuscle will automatically send
the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. eMuscle
does not store this information. It is only used for the sole purpose
of sending this one-time email. If a user chooses to submit any sort
of review, your profile name will be posted to your review. We will
also collect the information to keep on file with your review for
internal records. Like most standard Web site servers we use log
files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type,
internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type,
date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer
the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not
linked to personally identifiable information.

collect to occasionally notify you about new eMuscle services,
important functionality changes to the Web site, special offers we
think you'll find valuable and most importantly just to see how you
are doing. In addition, ordering information (i.e. credit card,
address) will be sent to a third party billing company for
processing. If you never want to receive any announcements or special
offers from us, contact us at privacy@emuscle.com and tell us to
