Information Collected on our web site.
Selectcommunities.com, Inc.. and its affiliates and third parties designated by us, collects
personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information from users
in a variety of ways. Selectcommunities.com, Inc. is the sole owner of all
the information collected on the this website , and will use and share with

for a tutorial on cookies.
Currently there are two types of
cookies. The standard cookie is information about the user stored on the
user's hard drive. The second type of cookie, called a session cookie,
also stores information about a user. However, these cookies are not
stored on the user's hard drive. These cookies are used only while the
user is actively connected to a Web site. Once the user closes the
Internet browser (or is inactive for more than 20 minutes), these session
cookies are destroyed. Selectcommunities.com, Inc... uses both types of
cookies on its Web site. In the future, Selectcommunities.com, Inc... may
add additional cookies for business purposes.
Selectcommunities.COM, INC.. uses permanent cookies for several business
purposes. Primarily, when visitors arrive at our site, a unique cookie is
automatically stored on the visitor's computer by their Internet browser that
allows analysis software to differentiate between new and returning
users.
Second, a permanent cookie is
written when members opt to save their log-on information. This cookie saves
time for members because they do not have to enter security information for
each visit to the site. If members reject the cookie, they may still use
the Web site but they will have to manually log in to access "member
areas."
Finally, session cookies are used while a user is active on the Web site for a
multitude of business purposes. For example, these cookies allow members
to navigate freely through the Web site once they have logged in to the Web
site. Without these cookies, members would have to login each time they
requested a "member area" page. These cookies are also used
while a member is joining, renewing or altering account information. This
allows the Web site to track a user's activity before any data is committed to
a database.
Log Files
Each view of a page on the Web
site is logged. Information such as the user's Internet Protocol
("IP") address, time of day and duration of activity on the Web site
is recorded. This information may be used by Selectcommunities.com, Inc..
to analyze trends, administer the Web site, track users' movements and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use or for other business purposes.
If illegal activity is detected on the Web site, Selectcommunities.com, Inc. we
may attempt to connect an IP address to personal information.
Sharing
Selectcommunities.com, Inc. will
share aggregated demographic information with third parties, including without
limitation its partners and advertisers, as it deems appropriate in its sole
discretion.
From time to time, we share personally identifiable information, as Selectcommunities.com,
Inc. deems appropriate in its sole discretion, with third parties in a number
of ways for a variety of business purposes, including name and other personally
identifiable information.

The Web site contains links to
other Internet sites. Please be aware that Selectcommunities.com, Inc. is
not responsible for the privacy practices of such other Internet sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Web site and to read the
privacy statements of each Internet site that collects personally identifiable
information. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information

Surveys
From time to time, Selectcommunities.com,
Inc. or third parties designated by Selectcommunities.com, Inc. requests
information from users via surveys. Information requested may include

Security
When you submit information via
the Web site, Selectcommunities.com, Inc., INC.., or third parties designated
by Selectcommunities.com, Inc., takes certain precautions to protect your user
information both online and offline. For example, currently, when
registration/order forms on our Web site ask users to enter information (such
as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is
encrypted and is protected with encryption software: Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL"). While
you are on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom
of Internet browsers such Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to unlocked or open, when you are just 'surfing'. These security
features may be updated from time-to-time in Selectcommunities.com, Inc. sole
discretion.
Just as we currently use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also use certain efforts to protect user-information
offline. Currently, our users' information is restricted primarily in our
offices and our servers are all password protected.
If you have any questions about the current state of security with respect to
information collected at the Web site or stored offline, you may send an email
to webmaster@Selectcommunities.com..

identifiable information (such as zip code) changes or if a user no longer
desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct or update
personal data which that user has provided to us. This can usually be done
from our member services page or by contacting our
Action Center at the address listed below. Some information, such as a
user's name change, must be changed by calling administration at
