University of Everything values your privacy,
whether you just browse the University of Everything
Web Site ("Site"), use its freely-available
services, or purchase products. We strive to make
our privacy practices in keeping with the highest
standards on the Web, and we hope you'll agree. This
privacy policy describes the kinds of information we
collect, how we collect it and how we use it.
WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION DOES UNIVERSITY OF
EVERYTHING COLLECT FROM ME?
Personally Identifiable Information. Personally
identifiable information is information that
identifies you as an individual, such as your name,
mailing address, phone number, email and address
("Personally Identifiable Information"). We may
collect Personally Identifiable Information from you
when you (a) make a purchase, (b) voluntarily
provide it when you use the Site, (c) disclose it in
a public area of the Site (such as a message board
or chat room) or (d) provide it when you communicate
with us.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Non-personally identifiable information is
information that does not identify you as an
individual ("Non-Personally Identifiable
Information"). Non-Personally Identifiable
Information includes information such as your
browser type, the URL of the previous Web site you
visited, the Web pages and advertisements you view
or select, and the types of services you use.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information also
includes "Aggregate Information," which is described
below in the section titled "How Do We Use
Non-Personally Identifiable Information?" We may
automatically collect certain types of
Non-Personally Identifiable Information from you
when you use the Site. We may also collect
Non-Personally Identifiable Information from you
that you voluntarily provide (such as information
included in response to a questionnaire or survey)
or post to a public area of the Site (such as a
message board or chat room).
HOW DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION?
Cookies. A cookie is a message that is sent to
your browser from a Web server and stored on your
computer's hard drive. Our cookies contain
Personally Identifiable Information, such as your
email address. We may use cookies to (a) store your
password if you're one of our members, so you don't
have to enter it each time you log on and (b) keep
track of which shopping cart belongs to you when you
shop at one of our member's shops. We use cookies
only for the operation of our Site.
IP Address. An IP address is a number that is
assigned to your computer automatically when you use
the Internet. We may collect IP addresses for the
purposes of systems administration, server problem
diagnosis and to compile aggregate information (such
as how many visitors logged on to the Site). When
you visit a particular Web page on the Site, our
servers log your IP address. Your IP address is not
linked to your Personally Identifiable Information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?
Personally Identifiable Information. In general,
we will not disclose your Personally Identifiable
Information to third parties without your
permission. If you make a purchase from our site, we
may use the Personally Identifiable Information you
provide for shipping and billing purposes only,
unless you expressly give us permission to use it
for promotional and marketing purposes. In addition,
if you purchase merchandise from our site, we may
use your Personally Identifiable Information to
enable us ship the merchandise directly to you, or
to use for internal record keeping. We may also use
the Personally Identifiable Information you provide
to (a) administer and manage your account, (b)
include you on mailing lists and (c) advertise and
promote our services. In addition, we may disclose
your Personally Identifiable Information when we
believe in good faith that it is required by any
applicable law or legal process, or if we believe we
need to disclose it to protect or enforce our
rights, users, or other third parties. Without
limitation of the foregoing, we may disclose your
information pursuant to our Intellectual Property
Rights Policy to a third party that alleges you have
infringed their intellectual property rights.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We may
disclose Non-Personally Identifiable Information in
connection with improving the services we offer and
facilitating our marketing efforts. In addition, we
may combine your Non-Personally Identifiable
Information that relates to your use of the Site
with that of other users ("Aggregate Information")
to determine which areas of the Site are most
popular, and how our services are used. By
collecting this Aggregate Information and analyzing
it, we can use it to improve the Site. We may
disclose Aggregate Information in connection with
improving the services we offer and facilitating our
marketing efforts.
WARNING ABOUT ONLINE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Third Parties. We do not control the privacy
policies of our advertisers or other third parties
that have Web sites linked to the Site. If you click
on an advertisement or link, the privacy policies of
the Web site that you link to will govern the use of

actions of such third parties with respect to their

make sure you are aware of and comfortable with the
privacy policies of any third-party Web sites you

certain third-party Web sites (for example, if
you click on a link to one of our partner's Web
site) that you link to from our Web site each have
their own information collection practices and
privacy policies.
Disclosure Of Information In Public Areas. If
you voluntarily disclose information in a public
area of the Site, such as a chat room or message
board, that information may be collected and used by
a third party to send you unsolicited messages,
advertisements or for other purposes. We do not
control the actions of these third parties in public
areas of the Site, so if you disclose information in
a public area, you do so at your own risk.
No Absolute Safeguards. Although we will use
reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your
information, transmissions on the Internet cannot be
made absolutely secure. Accordingly, we assume no
responsibility or liability for disclosure of any of
your information due to errors in transmission,
unauthorized third-party access or other causes
beyond our reasonable control.
Children's Personally Identifiable Information
We feel strongly about protecting the privacy of
children. We encourage children to involve their
parents in any interactive activity they participate
in online. We will not knowingly collect or use any
personal information from children we know to be
under the age of thirteen. In addition, once we are
notified we will delete any information in our
databases that originates from a child under the age
of thirteen.
