Effective Date: June 2, 2010
The following Privacy Policy governs the online information
collection practices of MARCOA.com ("we" or "us"). Specifically, it
outlines the types of information that we gather about you while you are
using the MARCOA.com website (the "Site"), and the ways in which we use
and don't use this information. This Privacy Policy, including our
children's privacy statement, does not apply to any information you may
provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through other means
(for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail). In
addition, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any activities (online
or otherwise) of our printed publications.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the
Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over privacy,

the Web is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy
at some point in the future, in which case we'll post the changes to
this Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of the
policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the
Site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as
modified.

You should acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our Site
Terms of Use, and by accessing or using our site, you agree to be bound
by all its terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms,
please do not access or use this site.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such
changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective
immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means of
including, but not limited to issuing an e-mail to the e-mail listed by
registered users and posting the revised Policy on this page. You
acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a valid

1. What Information is Collected About Visitors?
The information that we collect about you while you are using the
Site falls into two general categories:
1. Information You Provide to Us.
We may collect and store information, personal or otherwise, that
you voluntarily supply either while on the Site or in responding via
email in connection with a feature provided on the Site.
Some examples of this type of information include demographic
information that you electronically submit when you sign up for access
to certain features on the Site, information (such as your name or
email address) that you electronically submit when you register for
requests on the Site and information contained in search requests or
questions that you submit to the Site. If you decline to supply or
provide us with certain information while using the Site, you may not
be able to use or participate in some or all of the features offered
through the Site.
2. Information that is Automatically Collected.
We also collect and store information that is generated automatically
as you navigate through the Site. For example, to enhance your
experience on the Site, we use a standard feature found in browser
software called a "cookie." Cookies are small files that your web
browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By
showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us track user
trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your
preferences on certain areas of the Site where you have entered
preference information before. MARCOA.com also uses web beacons
(single-pixel graphic files also known as "transparent GIFs") to access
cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open our
HTML-formatted email messages. Another example of information that we
automatically collect as you navigate the Site is information about
your computer's connection to the Internet. This information allows us,
among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you
and to measure traffic on the Site.

2. How is this Information Used?
We use the information we collect from you while you are using the
Site in a variety of ways, including using the information to customize
features and advertising that appear on the Site.
The Site includes links to other websites and
provides access to products and services offered by third parties,
whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another
website or purchase third party products or services through the Site,
use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of
the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such
products or services.
Be aware that we may occasionally release information about visitors
when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Terms of
Service agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of
users of the Site, the public, or MARCOA.com.
Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various
assets. In the unlikely event that we sell some or all of our assets,
or our site is acquired by another company, information about our
visitors may be among the transferred assets.

3. Children's Privacy Statement?

such information.

This Site is not directed to children under the age of thirteen and
we do NOT knowingly collect personally identifiable information from
children under the age of thirteen as part of the Site. We screen users
who wish to provide personal information in order to prevent users under

that we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information
from a user under the age of thirteen as part of the Site, we will
delete such information from our records. If we change our practices in
the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before
collecting any personally identifiable information from children under
the age of thirteen as part of the Site.

information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Site,
we also do NOT knowingly distribute such information to third
parties.

thirteen to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally
identifiable contact information through the Site.
