tion, tools, and opportunities 
      with complete confidence. This REF Privacy Policy is in
 effect for all of the 
      Web pages and Web sites owned and/or operated by 
Rare Earth Finds, 
      (known as:'REF,"our company) including 
www.rareearthfinds.com.
 
      We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate 
our firm commitment to 
      privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes
 how our company 
      collects information from all end users of our Internet
 services (the 
      "Services")-those who access some of our Services but do
 not have accounts 
      ("Visitors") as well as those who may purchase Products
 and/or pay a 
      monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service ("Members")
-what we do 
      with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors
 and Members have 
      concerning the collection and use of such information.
 We request that you 
      read this Privacy Policy carefully. 
 
      Personal Information Our Company Collects and How
 It Is Used
      Introduction. Our company collects information in different
 ways from 
      Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our
 Services and the 
      network of Web sites accessible through our Service. 
We use this 
      information primarily to provide a customized experience
 as you use our 
      Products and Services, and generally, do not share this
 information with 
      third parties. However, we may disclose personal information
 collected if 
      we have received your permission beforehand or in very
 special 
      circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure
 is required by 
      law or other special cases described below. 
 
      Registration:  Members may be asked to provide certain
 personal 
      information when they sign up for our Products or Services
 including name, 
      address, telephone number, billing information (such as a 
credit card 
      number), and the type of personal computer being used to
 access the 
      Services. The personal information collected from Members
 during the 
      registration process is used to manage each Member's account
 (such as for 
      billing purposes). This information is not shared with 
third parties, 
      unless specifically stated otherwise or in special 
circumstances. 
      However, in instances where our company and a partner 
jointly promote our 
      Services, we may provide the partner certain personal 
information, such as 
      the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed 
to the Services 
      as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose
 of allowing us and 
      the partner to assess the results of the promotion.  
      In this instance, personal information may not be used
 by the partner for 
      any other purpose. We may also generate non-identifying
 and aggregate 
      profiles from personal information Members provide during
 registration 
      (such as the total number, but not the names, of Members).
 As explained in 
      more detail below, we may use this aggregated and 
non-identifying 
      information to sell advertisements that appear on 
the Services. 
 
      Our Company Partners and Sponsors:  Some products and
 services may be 
      offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with
 an affiliate, 
      independent contractor seller or non-affiliated partner.
 To provide 
      Visitors and Members some of these products and services,
 the partner may 
      need to collect and maintain personal information. In these
 instances, you 
      will be notified before any such data is collected or 
transferred and may 
      decide not to use that particular service or feature.  
      Additionally, our partners may have advertisements or 
co-branded Web Pages 
      that are cosponsored by an affiliate, independent contractor
 seller, or 
      non-affiliated partner. Our company may share 
non-identifying and 
      aggregate information (except as described above), 
but not personal 
      information, with such partners in order to administer 
the co-branded 
      products or services offered. 
 
      Online Shopping:  At some Web sites, you can purchase
 products and 
      services or register to receive materials, such as a 
newsletter, catalog 
      or new product and service updates. In many cases, you
 may be asked to 
      provide contact information, such as your name, address,
 email address, 
      phone number, and credit/debit card information.  
      If you complete an order for someone else, such as an 
online gift order 
      sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to provide
 information 
      about the recipient, such as the recipient's name, 
address, and phone 
      number. Our company has no control over the third
 parties' use of any 
      personal information you provide when placing such
 an order. Please 
      exercise care when doing so. 
 
      If you order services or products directly from our 
company we will use 
      the personal information you provide only to process 
that order. We do not 
     sell, share this information with outside parties except
 to the extent necessary 
      to complete that order. 
 
      Online Advertisements:  Our company may display our 
online advertisements. 
      In those cases we share aggregated and non-identifying
 information about 
      our Visitors and Members collected through the registration
 process as 
      well as through online surveys and promotions with 
these advertisers.  
      Additionally, in some instances, we use this 
aggregated and 
      non-identifying information to deliver tailored 
advertisements or joint 
      ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture 
company tells us 
      the audience they want to reach and provides us an 
advertisement tailored 
      to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying
 information 
      we have collected, we may then display or send the advertisement
 to the 
      intended audience. Our company does not share personal 
information about 
      its Visitors or Members with these advertisers or joint 
venture companies.
 
      Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or Members 
send email 
      inquiries to our company, the return email address is used 
to answer the 
      email inquiry we receive. Our company does not use the 
return email 
      address for any other purpose and does not sell, share the
 return email address 
      with any third party. 
 
      Voluntary Customer Surveys:  We may periodically conduct
 both business and 
      individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to
 participate in 
      these surveys because they provide us with important 
information that 
      helps us to improve the types of products and services we 
offer and how we 
      provide them to you. Your personal information and responses 
will remain 
      strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a
 third party. 
      Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary. 
 
      We may take the information we receive from individuals 
responding to our 
      Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the 
responses of other 
      customers we may have, to create broader, generic responses
 to the survey 
      questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education,
 employment, 
      industry sector, or other demographic information). We then
 use the 
      aggregated information to improve the quality of our services
 to you, and 
      to develop new services and products. This aggregated,
 non-personally 
      identifying information may be shared with third parties.
 
      Special Cases:  It is our company's policy not to use or 
share the 
      personal information about Visitors of Members in ways 
unrelated to the 
      ones described above without also providing you an opportunity 
to opt out 
      or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.  
      However, we may disclose personal information about Visitors
 or Members, 
      or information regarding your use of the Services or Web 
sites accessible 
      through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole 
discretion, we 
      believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: credit
 agencies, 
      collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement,
 or to 
      satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act,
 the Child 
      Online Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal
 requests for 
      such information; to disclose information that is necessary to
 identify, 
      contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be 
violating our 
      Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of Service, or other user 
policies; to 
      operate the Services properly; or to protect our company and our Members.
