respect to the online collection and use of information that identifies users
personally. The terms of this online policy apply unless we specify other
terms in an online or other form or contract we provide you.

privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home
country.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS
We encourage parents to take an active interest in their children's use of the
Internet. Parents should be aware that software tools are available online that
permit them to screen objectionable content and to allow parents to prevent
children from disclosing their name, address, and other information without
parental permission.
Children under the age of 13 are not authorized to use this web site without
first getting a parent's permission. Children under 16 can visit the site, but are
not authorized to complete online forms without parental permission. To
discourage unauthorized uses of our site, our policy page tells visitors that if
they are under 13, they must have a parent's permission before using this
site. Our online forms also remind users that anyone under 16 must have
parental permission to submit a form.
As an additional precaution, we ask users to confirm that they are 16 or over,
or parents to confirm that they have given a child younger than 16 permission
to complete the online form. Unless confirmation is provided, the form cannot
be submitted. Our online forms include a hyperlink to this privacy policy to
make it easy for parents (and all our users) to review our privacy policy when
they fill out such forms. Online purchases are not authorized unless the
purchaser is 18 or older, and we make this clear on our online purchase
forms.

COOKIES
Cookies are small pieces of information that a web site sends to a user's
computer. We use cookies for limited purposes. For example, we place a
cookie on your computer when you register so that the next time you visit this
site, we can tell you are a user who is registered. This allows us to avoid
presenting you additional registration forms. A cookie also may be placed on
your computer if you click on one of Phoenix Genesis' advertising banners on
another web site. Cookies used with advertising banners permits us to count
the number of users who clicked on that ad and the site from which they
clicked, so that we can measure the effectiveness of our advertisements.
In and of themselves, cookies do not tell us your name, email or postal
address, or telephone number. We generally do not know that information
unless you enter it online. However, once you have given us that information,
it may be linked to information we collect with cookies, such as whether you
are registered, or whether you linked from an advertising banner.
