information gathered about you on our Web site. We hope that this disclosure will

Types of information

The majority of the product and service information posted

from you. You can surf the Web sites and view much of our content anonymously.
Information You Provide
There are a few activities on our sites where the collection
of personally identifiable information is necessary. Those activities include things
like entering a contest or sweepstakes, making a purchase, requesting a catalog,
newsletter or other information, registering to our sites or the WATVA Forum, filling
out a survey or questionnaire or contacting us. We do not market to, seek to solicit
information from or knowingly collect information from children..
When personally identifiable information is collected, you will know because you
will have to provide such information to us. For most activities, we collect only
your name, e-mail address, street address, zip code, birth date, and ATV type. When
you make a purchase, we also collect your billing address, your phone number, and
credit card information.
Information Collected from You with Technology
Our sites collect some information about you using technology,
so it may not be readily apparent to you that it is being collected. For instance,
when you visit our site, we automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable
information from your browser, such as your Internet service provider's address,
the web page from which you came, and a record of your activity on our site. This
information is not personally identifiable. Our sites use information collected
through technology to: make our sites more interesting and useful to you; helping
advertisers on our site design advertisements our users might like; help us generally
improve the content and layout of our web site; notify you about updates to our
web site; and contact you for marketing purposes.

How We Use the Personally Identifiable Information
that We Collect
When you supply us with personally identifiable information,
the information you provide is added to our customer file. We use personally identifiable
information in a limited number of ways. We use the information to complete transactions.
For instance, we use your information to process your order, or if you contact us
for help we will use the information to contact you. We use information collected
to notify you if you've won a game or contest. Information we collect is also used
to send you: e-mail updates related to our club, products and services, discounts,
upcoming events and newsletters or other e-mail promotions and special offers from
our third-party sponsors; periodic mailings or telephone contact related to club,
products and services, discounts, upcoming events, newsletters about our site; periodic
mailings related to ATV or other promotions and special offers from our third-party
sponsors.
Who We Share our Information With
One of the most valuable assets of our business is you.
We aren't in the business of selling information about our users. However, we may
provide information to a select group of companies whose products we feel you may
find of interest. We will also share information for security reasons.
Sometimes we use third party companies to help us provide products or services.
In those instances, we need to share your information with them to deliver products
to you, assist us in collecting and managing customer information, to fulfill promotions
and/orders and/or to communicate with you. These companies are restricted from using
your information in any manner other than in helping us to provide you with our
products and services. We may share your information with the sponsors if they need
it to send you a product, such as a magazine subscription. We may share your information
with those sponsors so that they can send you other special promotions they offer.
In addition, we will occasionally send e-mail promotions out to our users on behalf
of third-party sponsors to conduct promotions regarding lifestyle-related products
or services.
Content Providers
Our site provides content that is created by a third-party
Web site. In some instances the third-party sites will collect information in order
to facilitate the transaction or to make the use of their content more productive
and efficient. In these circumstances the information collected is shared between
our third-party sponsors and us.
Organizations That Help Protect the Security and
Safety of our Users and our Sites
We will give out personal information as required by law,
for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena; to enforce our Terms of Service,
or site or game rules; or to protect the safety and security of users and our sites.
Choices You Have About Our Collecting, Using,
and Sharing Your Information
It is possible for you to use much of our site without
giving us any personally identifiable information. When you do register with us
or give us personally identifiable information, you will have an opportunity --
at the time we collect your information -- to limit e-mail communications from us
and from our third-party partners. You can request at any time that we not send
future e-mail to you either by unsubscribing from the communication or by contacting
us through email or by calling us directly.
The Type of Security We Provide
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated
with our users is of utmost concern to us. We take technical, contractual, administrative,
and physical security steps to protect all visitors' information. When you provide
credit card information, we use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect
it. There are some things that you can do to help protect the security of your information
as well. For instance, never give out your password, since this is what is used
to access all of your account information. Also remember to sign out of your account
and close your browser window when you finish surfing the Web so that other people
using the same computer won't have access to your information.
