The Information We Collect

To help us achieve our goal of providing the highest quality services, we collect and apply information from our interactions with visitors, subscribers and users to the AmosWEB site. Because we respect your privacy, we have procedures to ensure that your Personal Information is handled in a safe, secure, and responsible manner. The information we receive and collect depends on what a visitor, subscriber or user does when visiting one of the AmosWEB sites.

In general, AmosWEB users are able to visit many of our Web pages without telling us who they are or revealing any information about themselves. As discussed under "Usage Data" below, we may track the Internet domain or "Internet protocol" addresses from which users visit us and analyze this data in the aggregate to determine usage for trends and statistics. Individual users will remain anonymous, unless they voluntarily tell us who they are.

Usage Data

AmosWEB only uses Usage Data in the aggregate -- that is, we look at the data on a collective basis, in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. This data helps us determine the extent to which our visitors use certain parts of an AmosWEB site, which, in turn, enables us to make the AmosWEB pages as appealing as possible.

User Communications

As a benefit of subscription membership, AmosWEB site users or subscribers may receive the following communications from us:

• Communications related to subscription maintenance activities. These communications may include, without limitation, notices regarding material changes to AmosWEB site policies, service updates, service enhancements, and account management procedures. Since these communications are necessary to ensure AmosWEB provides its users or subscribers with the highest quality of services, our users or subscribers are not permitted to opt out from receipt of these communications.


• Communications containing information about AmosWEB products and services. We may send promotional e-mails and other outbound communications to AmosWEB site users or subscribers regarding products and services from AmosWEB. Any AmosWEB site user or subscriber that does not wish to receive such product and service communications can choose to remove his or her contact information from our contact list at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of any promotional e-mail

Disclosure Exceptions

AmosWEB will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law; for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. AmosWEB also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.

AmosWEB Commitment to Security

AmosWEB only collects information from AmosWEB site Users to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to serve its legitimate business purposes, and it uses state-of-the-art security technology to ensure the security, integrity, and privacy of all collected information. In addition, AmosWEB uses security measures in connection with the collection and transmission of AmosWEB site User information during each AmosWEB site's registration process. Nonetheless, AmosWEB is not responsible for any breach of its security or for the actions of any third parties that may obtain any AmosWEB site User information, including Personal and Institutional Information.

Your Consent and Changes to Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy was last changed on January 14, 2006.

The trading of votes to ensure a favorable outcome for two or more separate decisions undertaken by combined both decisions into a single vote. Commonly practiced in legislative bodies, implicit logrolling occurs when two separate programs or policies are combined into a single package, which is then subject to a single vote. The contrast is with explicit logrolling in which each of two voters agree to cast separate votes for two separate programs. Whether implicit or explicit, logrolling is generally used when neither decision is able to obtain the necessary majority of the votes needed for passage on their own accord.

Winston Smythe Kennsington III -- our second-estate financial maestro -- has given me a hot, and I mean REALLY HOT, investment tip. Waldo Industries, the parent company of Waldo's TexMex Taco World, is making plans to expand its franchises. Marketing studies show that people are ripe and ready for Waldo's Super Deluxe TexMex Gargantuan Tacos beyond the confines of Shady Valley. For a minimal investment, I can grab a share of this money-making opportunity. A minimal investment to our Ivy-League friend Winnie is $500,000. Unfortunately my bank account, including recent deposits of loose change found on our pedestrian trek, is a few zeros short. Is this another sure-fire financial opportunity that will pass me by?
