We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the users
of our sites.
This privacy policy will advise you about our guidelines concerning the use of
your personal information, including, without limitation, the reasonable efforts
we make to protect your personal information in accord with these guidelines,
and about what choices you have concerning our use of such information. Please
read this policy carefully. We may need to change this policy from time to time
in order to address new issues and reflect changes on our sites. We will post
those changes here so that you will always know our policies regarding what
information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will
disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this policy
regularly.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, please address

Scope of Privacy Policy
This policy applies to your use of all the sites and services owned or
operated by Bourne Legacy Enterprises, LLC (“Bourne Legacy Enterprises, LLC”)
and affiliated companies (collectively "we," "us" or
"our"), including Gabriellebourne.com and any other site that we may
own or operate currently or in the future (collectively, the
"Sites"). Unless we say otherwise, all references to the Sites in
this policy include all such sites. This policy does not apply to your use of
unaffiliated sites to which any of the Sites only link. This policy covers only
information collected on the Sites and does not cover any information collected
offline by us.
1. PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION
We may request personal identification information from you (such as your name,
street address, telephone number, credit card number, e-mail address and/or any
other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of you) in
connection with your use of, or participation in, membership registration for any of our Sites, including, but not limited to, Gabriellebourne.com,
our contests, sweepstakes, promotions, games, surveys, forums, subscription
registrations, content submissions, chats, bulletin boards, discussion groups,
requests for suggestions, visitors' requests for free products or services or
additional information (including via e-mail to us) and in connection with
other activities, services or resources we make available on any of our Sites.
In all these cases, we will collect personal identification information from
you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. Except as otherwise
provided in this policy, we reasonably endeavor to ensure that we never
intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an
individual user to any third party without having received your permission
(through opting in or similar procedures) except as provided for herein or
otherwise as permitted or required under law. Further, Bourne Legacy
Enterprises, LLC may contact you based on the information you provide online
whether in connection with your registration or in such places as the above
described forums.
If you do provide us with personal information for any of these activities, we
may use it to conduct the activity. We may also use cookie technology and Web
beacons (discussed in detail below) to improve your experience of these
activities, including to remember your preferences, customize the content and
advertisements that you see or authenticate your access to your personal
information. In addition, in the event that your personally identifiable
information is requested as part of our surveys, polls or promotions, such
personally identifiable information may be added to your registration
information
We may also contact you about your account status (for example, when a child
enters a new age group to which different policies apply), to confirm your
registration and regarding changes to the Sites' Terms and Conditions and this
Privacy Policy.
If you give us your permission, we may also use personal identification
information for internal or external marketing and promotional purposes. On
occasion, for example, we may send you e-mails to introduce a product or a
service that we think might be of interest to the users of our Sites. For us to
obtain your permission to send you this information, we will give you an
opportunity to "opt in" at the time our request for your personal
information is made. If you do "opt in," you may choose to "opt
out" at any time, even after you have provided personal information, by following
the procedures set forth below at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please note,
however, that under certain circumstances, if you initially do not choose to
"opt in" or if you later "opt out," you may not be eligible
for certain benefits for which a name, e-mail address, telephone number or
other personal identification information is needed.
We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific
information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or
process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will
also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an
attempted breach of the security of the Sites or a physical or property threat
to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including personally
identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation,
the sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental corporate
change. We may provide access to your personally identifiable information to
our contractors who are performing services for us in connection with our Sites
or the services that you have requested.
In addition, on occasion, we may collect personal identification information
from you in connection with optional contests, special offers or promotions. We
will share such information with necessary third parties for the purpose of
carrying out the contest, special offer or promotion. Your participation in the
contest, special offer or promotion constitutes your consent to such disclosure
and use of such information.
Further, the information you enter when making a purchase or online donation
will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways and your credit card
company to authorize credit card payments. Such information may also be shared
with necessary third parties solely for the purpose of carrying out the
transactions.
Please note that if you give out personal information online—for example, on
one of our public forums such as a message board, chat room, folder or chat IM
feature—that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although
we strive to protect our users' privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of
information you post in these forums and have no control over how such third
parties may use your information. You disclose such information at your own
risk.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your information and
password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your registration, whether
or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify us of any
unauthorized use of your registration or password.
Nonpersonal Identification Information
We collect nonpersonal identification information through the use of, without
limitation, the following types of methodology:
Cookie technology: A "cookie" is an element of data that a website
can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system.
IP address tracking: An IP address is a number that is assigned to your
computer when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from our Sites,
our servers log your IP address.
Web beacons: A Web beacon, or "clear gif," is a small graphic image
on a webpage or Web-based document that a website can use to determine
information about a user.
Nonpersonal identification information might include the browser you use, the
type of computer you use and technical information about your means of
connection to our Sites—such as the operating systems and the Internet service
providers utilized and other similar information. Our systems may also
automatically gather information about the areas you visit and search terms you
use on our Sites and about the links you may select from within our Sites to
other areas of the Web or elsewhere online.
We use such information for our business purposes and, in particular, primarily
to administer the Sites, better manage advertising on the Sites and, in the
aggregate, to understand how our users as a group use the services and
resources provided on our Sites. This way, we know which areas of our Sites are
the favorites of our users, which areas need improvement and what technologies
are being used so that we may continually improve our Sites.
We may share this aggregate statistical information with our partners,
suppliers and other third parties, but we will not share any individual names,
personal navigational or other personal information. For example, we may use a
third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit our Sites. We may
share demographic and preference information with this company to allow them to
display appropriate advertisements for you.
We use a proprietary advertising server to display ads on our Sites. In
addition, advertisers may elect to use third-party advertising companies to
serve ads onto our Sites. Some of our advertisers may display ads on our Sites
that may use cookie technology or Web beacons to (i) identify nonpersonal
information about our users (such as connection speed, browser and country of
origin) and (ii) track user behavior within our Sites. Advertisers generally
use such information to customize the display of ads within our Sites. We will
not permit such advertisers to collect any personal information from our users
within our Sites, however, you may choose to voluntarily provide the
advertisers with your personal information. We do not have access to these
cookies or any information that they may contain.
Further, we currently contract with a third-party Web analytics provider to
help manage and optimize our Sites. We use this service to help us measure the
effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use our Sites. To do this, we
use Web beacons and cookie technology on the Sites. The type of information we
collect includes the number of hits a webpage receives, the type of browser
used and the number of times a visitor makes a purchase from a particular
promotion. By supplementing our records, this information helps us learn things
like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which of our products and
services most interest our users,and what kinds of offers our users like to
see. Although this third-party provider logs the information coming from our
Sites on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used.
2. PRIVACY OF CHILDREN
We understand that young people need special safeguards and privacy protection.
We realize that they may not understand all the provisions of our policy or be
able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available to
our adult users. We strongly urge all parents to participate in their
children's exploration of the Internet and any online services and to teach
their children about protecting their personal information while online.
The Sites are not directed to children under the age of 13. We prohibit registration
by children under the age of 13 for all interactive portions of the Sites,
including chats and message boards. We will not knowingly collect personally
identifiable information from children under 13.
We may, at our discretion, require users under 18 to obtain the consent of a
parent or guardian to view certain content, and we may limit access to certain
content to users above a specified age. You agree to abide by any such
restrictions and not to help anyone avoid these restrictions.

3. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Users will find advertising or other content on our Sites that link to the
sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors
and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on
these sites. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and
links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own
privacy policies and customer service policies or no policy (policies) at all.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or
services before providing any of them with your personal information.
4. SECURITY POLICY
Protecting your privacy and your information is a top priority. We have
taken reasonable measures to secure both your information and our physical
premises. We exercise reasonable care in providing safe transmission of your
information from your PC to our servers (unless sent by a means outside of our
control, such as e-mail). However, we cannot guarantee that our measures will
completely bar unauthorized access to your information, and by using the Sites
you assume this risk.
5. ACCESS TO/CORRECTION OF INFORMATION
If you would like to review any personal information we have retained about you
in our database, please send us an e-mail request for this information via our
CONTACT US form. To help us address your request, please specify which information
you wish to review. Once you have reviewed this information, at your request,
we will correct personal information about you that you state is erroneous. To
request such a correction, please send an e-mail via our CONTACT US form. You
should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove
or modify information in our databases and servers, although we will always
make reasonable efforts to do so upon your request. Please also understand that
due to the volume of traffic on the Sites and correspondence received, we
cannot make any representations about the timeliness of the making of such
modifications. In addition, we are unable to modify your information in the
records of any third party who has been provided with your information in
accordance with this policy.
6. CHOICE/OPT OUT
If you "opt in" to receive information from us or others, you can
change your mind later. If, at any time, you would like to stop receiving such
information or opt out of a feature, you may go back to Gabriellebourne.com and
change your options. You should be aware, however, that it is not always
possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases and
servers, although we will always make reasonable efforts to do so upon your
request, and we are unable to have your information removed from the records of
any third party who has been provided with your information in accordance with
this policy.
7. CONSENT TO TRANSFER
The Sites are operated in the United States. If you are located in the European
Union or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any
information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. By
using our website, participating in any of our services and/or providing us
with your information, you consent to this transfer.
8. YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By using any of the Sites, you signify your acceptance of our Privacy Policy,

policies, please do not use our Sites. Your continued use of the Sites
following the posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept those
changes.
