This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we
will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy.
The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, newsletters, discussion lists and opt-in

What information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that
computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the Tristar Network
Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name
and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our
site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of the Tristar Network
Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. See also Will you disclose the information you
collect to outside third parties? We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals.
Our Web servers do not record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about
conferences and trade shows). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose
of the inquiry before the information is requested. We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do

What information do you collect when I purchase something?
If you are purchasing something from Tristar Network , we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit

status. This information may also be used by us to notify you of related products and services. Credit card and
e-mail information will not be shared or sold to third parties for any purpose without your express permission.
Certain Tristar Network properties use a shopping cart feature that safeguards this information by using industry standard

rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information.
