The information collection, use, and dissemination practices of Boostaro This policy
applies to Boostaro's collection, use, storage and disclosure of information by Boostaro
on its (a) websites, including all its divisions, subsidiaries and related companies
(collectively, the "Websites"), (b) on various third party websites, and (c) to Boostaro's
other information collection, including the purchase of customer lists from third parties.
Boostaro is not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices of third
web sites or applications.
1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION.
1.1 Survey Information.
Boostaro collects information from individuals by various methods, including, but not
limited to, when an individual voluntarily completes a Boostaro 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, Boostaro or a
third party (a "Third Party") may ask an individual to provide various information to
Boostaro , 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"). Boostaro 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 Boostaro or Third
Party, but an individual may receive incentives from Boostaro or a Third Party in exchange
for providing Survey Information to Boostaro .
1.2 Other Information.
Other occasions when Boostaro obtains information from individuals include (1) when an
individual is making a claim for a prize or seeking to redeem an incentive offered by
Boostaro or by a third party, (2) when an individual requests assistance through
Boostaro 's customer service department, and (3) when an individual voluntarily subscribes
to a Boostaro service or newsletter (together, "Other Information").
1.3 Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology.
Boostaro 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, Boostaro 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 Boostaro to identify the individual with his or her corresponding data that
resides in Boostaro 's database. You may read more about cookies at
http://cookiecentral.com. 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 http://truste.org 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 Boostaro 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, Boostaro 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 Boostaro 's database, visits the fishing website, Boostaro receives
notice by means of the web beacon that Bill visited the fishing site, and Boostaro would
then update Bill's profile with the information that Bill is interested in fishing.
Boostaro may thereafter present offers of fishing related products and services to Bill.
In addition to using web beacons on web pages, Boostaro also uses web beacons in email
messages sent to individuals listed in Boostaro 's database.
(c) New Technology.
The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons, is rapidly
evolving, as is Boostaro 's use of new and evolving technology. As a result, Boostaro
strongly encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use of
technology.
1.4 Outside Information.
Boostaro may receive information about individuals from third parties or from other
sources of information outside of Boostaro 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 Boostaro gathers or receives about individuals.
1.6 No Information Collected from Children.
Boostaro will never knowingly collect any personal
information about children under the age of 13. If Boostaro 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, Boostaro has no such information to use or to disclose to third
parties. Boostaro has designed this policy in order to comply with the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").
1.7 Credit Card Information.
Boostaro 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 Boostaro . When the Credit Card
Information is submitted to Boostaro , such information is encrypted and is protected
with SSL encryption software. Boostaro 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.

computers from being illegally accessed, and the Individual Information on them stolen or
altered.
