Automatic
Information: We receive and store certain types of information
whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web sites,

offer utilities through their web sites designed to help you visit
web sites anonymously. [www.anonymizer.com, www.IDzap.com,
www.somebody.net, and
www.zeroknowledge.com. We cannot vouch for
the effectiveness of any of these products. In addition, the Federal
Trade Commission provides useful information about online privacy
on its own Web site, Site Seeing on the Internet.]

experience at Avlon.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you
to be aware that these tools exist. |

we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Avlon.com
if your computer supports such capabilities. |

Information
from Other Sources: For reasons such as improving personalization
of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations
or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive
information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address
information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct
our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more
easily. |
