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.

It's time for another one of our frequent stops at Mr. Market Super Food Discount Store, this time to check out the story behind retail prices. As consumers, we spend a large fraction of our nonworking, nonsleeping lives wandering grocery stores aisles, searching clothing store racks, and surveying department store displays for the right product at the right price. How do we know, like the name of the long-running game show, if "The Price is Right?" How are retail prices set and do they really tell us the value of a product?
