2. How We May Use Information
2.1
General. We use your
Collected Information to improve our marketing
and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze
site usage, to improve our content and product
offerings and to customize our Site's content,
layout and service specifically for you. We
may use your Collected Information to service
your Account with us, including but not limited
to investigating problems, resolving disputes
and enforcing agreements with us. We do not
sell, rent, trade or exchange any personally-identifying
information of our Users. We may share certain
aggregate information based on analysis of Collected
Information with our partners, customers, advertisers
or potential Users. We may use your Collected
Information to execute marketing campaigns,

of third parties; however, in these circumstances,
your Collected Information will not be disclosed
to such third parties unless you respond to
the marketing, promotion or advertising message.
2.2

determines that you might be interested. Specifically,
we may use your email address, mailing address,

notices, surveys, product alerts, new service
or product offerings and communications relevant
to your use of our Site. We may generate reports
and analysis based on the Registration Information
for internal analysis, monitoring and marketing
decisions.
2.3
Publishing Information. All of your
Publishing Information will be publicly available
on the Site and therefore accessible by any
internet user. Any Publishing Information that
you disclose to Hassanally becomes public information
and you relinquish any proprietary rights (including
but not limited to the rights of confidentiality
and copyrights) in such information. You should
exercise caution when deciding to include personal
or proprietary information in the Publishing
Information that you submit to us.
2.4
Payment Information. Hassanally will
share your Payment Information with banks or
vendors relevant to the transaction in order

Payment Information available to banks or credit
agencies. Any credit card information that you
provide through the Site is directly submitted
to a payment server of the credit card processing
bank. Hassanally does not maintain electronic

Information against intruders, there is no guarantee
that such technology or procedure can eliminate
all of the risks of theft, loss or mis-use.
Hassanally shall not be liable to you or any
other person for any damages that might result
from unauthorized use, publication, disclosure
or any other mis-use of Payment Information,
including credit card information.

maintain our computer servers, to manage our
Site, and to enhance our Site and services based
on the usage pattern data we receive. We may

Information to third parties, but when we do
so, we do not provide personally-identifying
information without your permission.
3. Disclosure of Information
3.1
We reserve the right to disclose
your Collected Information to relevant authorities
where we have reason to believe that such disclosure
is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be infringing
or threatening to infringe, or who may otherwise
be causing injury to or interference with, the
title, rights, interests or property of Hassanally,
our Users, customers, partners, other web site
users or anyone else who could be harmed by
such activities.
3.2
We also reserve the right to disclose Collected
Information in response to a subpoena or other
judicial order or when we reasonably believe
that such disclosure is required by law, regulation
or administrative order of any court, governmental
or regulatory authority.
3.3
If we have reason to believe that a User is
in breach of the Terms of User Agreement or
any other agreement with us, then we reserve
the right to make public or otherwise disclose
such User’s Collected Information in order
to pursue our claim or prevent further injury
to Hassanally or others.
4. Co-Branded Relationships
We have established relationships with
other parties to offer you the benefit of other products
and services which we ourselves do not offer. We offer
you access to these other parties either through the
use of hyperlinks to their sites from our Site, or
through offering "co-branded" sites in which both
ourselves and these other parties share the same uniform
resource locator, domain name or pages within a domain
name on the Internet. In some cases you may be required
to submit information for purposes of registering
or applying for products or services provided by such
third parties or co-branded partners. The privacy
policy of such other parties may differ from ours,
and we may not have any control over the information
that you submit to such third parties or co-branded
sites. We therefore encourage you to read that policy
before responding to any offers, products or services
provided by such other parties.
5. Cookies
5.1
We use “cookies” to
store specific information about you and track
your visits to our Site. It is not uncommon
for web sites to use cookies to enhance identification
of their users. A “cookie” is a
small amount of data that is sent to your browser
and stored on your computer's hard drive. A
cookie can be sent to your computer’s
hard drive only if you access our Site using
the computer. If you do not de-activate or erase
the cookie, each time you use the same computer
to access our Site, our web servers will be
notified of your visit to our Site and in turn
we may have knowledge of your visit and the
pattern of your usage. Generally, we use cookies
to identify you and enable us to access your
Registration Information, Publishing Information
or Payment Information so you do not have to
re-enter it; gather statistical information
about usage by Users; research visiting patters
and help target advertisements based on User
interests; assist our partners to track User
visits to the Site and process orders; and track
progress and participation in promotions.
5.2
You can determine if and how a cookie will
be accepted by configuring your browser’s
which is installed in the computer you are using
to access the Site. If you desire, you can change
those configurations in your browser. By setting
your preferences in the browser, you can accept
all cookies, you can be notified when a cookie
is sent, or you can reject all cookies. If you
reject all cookies by choosing the cookie-disabling
function in your browser, you may be required
to re-enter your information on our Site more
often and certain features of our Site may be
unavailable.
6. Minors
The Site and its contents are not intended
to be targeted to minors under applicable law and
we do not intend to sell any of our products or services
to minors. However, we have no way of distinguishing
the age of individuals who access our Site and so
we carry out the same Privacy Policy for individuals
of all ages. If a minor has provided us with personal
information without parental or guardian consent,
the parent or guardian should contact us to remove
the information.
7. Security Measures
7.1
We employ commercially reasonable
security methods to prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data accuracy and ensure correct use
of information.
7.2
As a Registered User, your Registration Information,
Publishing Information and Payment Information
(if any) can be viewed and edited through your
Account which is protected by Password. We recommend
that you do not divulge your Password to anyone.
Our personnel will never ask you for your Password
in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited
e-mail. If you share a computer with others,
you should not choose to save your log-in information
(e.g., User ID and Password) on the computer.
Remember to sign out of your Account and close
your browser window when you have finished your
session.
7.3
No data transmission over the Internet or
any wireless network can be guaranteed to be
perfectly secured. As a result, while we try
to protect your information, no web site or
company, including ourselves, can absolutely
ensure or guarantee the security of any information
you transmit to us and you do so at your own
risk.
8. Changes to Privacy Policy
Any changes to this Privacy Policy will
be communicated through our posting an amended and
restated Privacy Policy on our Site. Our posting the
amended and restated Privacy Policy will make such
new Privacy Policy immediately effective. You agree
that all Collected Information (whether or not collected
prior to or after the new policy became effective)
will be governed by the newest Privacy Policy then
in effect. If you do not agree to the new changes
in our Privacy Policy, you should contact Hassanally
in writing (at the address set out in the Notice provision
of the Terms of Use Agreement) and specifically request

all or part of your Collected Information in Hassanally’s
