The information collection, use, and dissemination practices of COGNICLEAR This policy
applies to COGNICLEAR 's collection, use, storage and disclosure of information by
COGNICLEAR on its (a) websites, including all its divisions, subsidiaries and related
companies (collectively, the "Websites"), (b) on various third party websites, and (c) to
COGNICLEAR 's other information collection, including the purchase of customer lists from
third parties. COGNICLEAR is not responsible for the information collection or privacy
practices of third web sites or applications.
1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION.
1.1 Survey Information.
COGNICLEAR collects information from individuals by various methods, including, but not
limited to, when an individual voluntarily completes a COGNICLEAR survey, order form, or a
registration pages either online or offline, or by means of online or offline surveys, order
forms, or registration pages operated by third parties (collectively, a "Survey"). (As used
herein, "online" means using the Internet, including the Websites, and related technologies,
and "offline" means by methods other than online, including in person, in the postal mail,
using telephones and cell phones, and other similar means.) In the Surveys, COGNICLEAR or a
third party (a "Third Party") may ask an individual to provide various information to
COGNICLEAR , which may include his or her name, email address, street address, zip code,
telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary
range, education and marital status, occupation, social security number, employment
information, personal and online interests, and such other information as may be requested
from time to time (together, "Survey Information"). COGNICLEAR may also collect information
concerning an individual from another source and uses that information in combination with
information provided from this web site. Completing the Surveys is completely voluntary, and
individuals are under no obligation to provide Survey Information to COGNICLEAR or Third
Party, but an individual may receive incentives from COGNICLEAR or a Third Party in exchange
for providing Survey Information to COGNICLEAR .
1.2 Other Information.
Other occasions when COGNICLEAR obtains information from individuals include (1) when an
individual is making a claim for a prize or seeking to redeem an incentive offered by
COGNICLEAR or by a third party, (2) when an individual requests assistance through
COGNICLEAR 's customer service department, and (3) when an individual voluntarily subscribes
to a COGNICLEAR service or newsletter (together, "Other Information").
1.3 Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology.
COGNICLEAR currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to associate certain
Internet-related information about an individual with information about the individual in
our database. Additionally, COGNICLEAR may use other new and evolving sources of information
in the future (together, "Technology Information").
(a) Cookies.
A cookie is a small amount of data stored on the hard drive of the individual's computer
that allows COGNICLEAR to identify the individual with his or her corresponding data that
resides in COGNICLEAR 's database. You may read more about cookies at
order.html. Individuals who use the Websites need to accept cookies in order
to use all of the features and functionality of the Websites.
(b) Web Beacons.
A web beacon is programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page (by
using an programming function -- see order.html for more information), but can also
be used to transfer an individual's unique user identification (often in the form of a
cookie) to a database and associate the individual with previously acquired information
about an individual in a database. This allows COGNICLEAR to track certain web sites an
individual visits online. Web beacons are used to determine products or services an
individual may be interested in, and to track online behavioral habits for marketing
purposes. For example, COGNICLEAR might place, with the consent of a third party website, a
web beacon on the third party's website where fishing products are sold. When Bill, an
individual listed in COGNICLEAR 's database, visits the fishing website, COGNICLEAR receives
notice by means of the web beacon that Bill visited the fishing site, and COGNICLEAR would
then update Bill's profile with the information that Bill is interested in fishing.
COGNICLEAR may thereafter present offers of fishing related products and services to Bill.
In addition to using web beacons on web pages, COGNICLEAR also uses web beacons in email
messages sent to individuals listed in COGNICLEAR 's database.
(c) New Technology.
The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons, is rapidly
evolving, as is COGNICLEAR 's use of new and evolving technology. As a result, COGNICLEAR
strongly encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use of
technology.
1.4 Outside Information.
COGNICLEAR may receive information about individuals from third parties or from other
sources of information outside of COGNICLEAR including information located in public
databases ("Outside Information").
1.5 Individual Information.
As used herein, Individual Information means Survey Information, Third Party List
Information, Other Information, Technology Information, and Outside Information, and any
other information COGNICLEAR gathers or receives about individuals.
1.6 No Information Collected from Children.
COGNICLEAR will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the
age of 13. If COGNICLEAR obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personal information
about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from our
database. Because it does not collect such information, COGNICLEAR has no such information
to use or to disclose to third parties. COGNICLEAR has designed this policy in order to
comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").
1.7 Credit Card Information.
COGNICLEAR may in certain cases collect credit card numbers and related information, such
as the expiration date of the card ("Credit Card Information") when an individual places an
order from COGNICLEAR . When the Credit Card Information is submitted to COGNICLEAR , such
information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. COGNICLEAR will use
the Credit Card Information for purposes of processing and completing the purchase
transaction, and the Credit Card Information will be disclosed to third parties only as
necessary to complete the purchase transaction.

to determine which areas of COGNICLEAR 's web sites are most frequently visited. This
information helps COGNICLEAR to better understand the online habits of individuals so that
COGNICLEAR can target advertising and promotions to them.

COGNICLEAR uses Individual Information to make a profile of an individual. A profile can be
created by combining Survey Information and Third Party List Information with other sources
of Individual Information such as information obtained from public databases.
2.7 Storage of Individual Information.
COGNICLEAR stores the Individual Information in a database on COGNICLEAR computers. Our
computers have security measures (such as a firewall) in place to protect against the loss,
misuse, and alteration of the information under COGNICLEAR 's control. Not withstanding such
measures, COGNICLEAR cannot guarantee that its security measures will prevent COGNICLEAR
computers from being illegally accessed, and the Individual Information on them stolen or
altered.
