OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

This site is owned and operated by Gregory Poole Equipment Company. Your privacy on the
Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Gregory Poole, we want to make your
experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully
understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of
that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we
use it.

INFORMATION GREGORY POOLE GATHERS AND TRACKS

Gregory Poole gathers two types of information about users:

Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are
voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message
boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
Information Gregory Poole gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly
by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our
content to readers’ needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the
demographics of our audience. Providing such aggregated demographic data is helpful to
keeping our service useful for users. Gregory Poole does not divulge any information about
individual users to any third party.

Gregory Poole gathers User Information in the Following Processes:

Optional Voluntary Information

We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of
personal information by users:

Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)

We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Gregory Poole gathers the email
addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this
mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the
subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of
registration.

Message boards/forums policy

Users of the site’s Message Boards and Forums must register separately for these services
(both are free of charge) in order to post messages, although they needn’t register to visit
the site. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email
address.

“E-mail this to a friend” policy

Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone
else by clicking “e-mail this to a friend”. The user must provide their email address, as well
as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and,
of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any
other purpose.

Polling

We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other
users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other
responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. Gregory
Poole may use a system to “tag” users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on
a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.

Surveys

Gregory Poole may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our
audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys
with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about
specific individuals with any third party.

CHILDREN

Consistent with the Federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we
will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age
of 13 without requesting parental consent.

USAGE TRACKING

Gregory Poole tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not
correlate this information with data about individual users. Gregory Poole does break down
overall usage statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type, and MIME type
by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user’s
browser).

Gregory Poole sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our
Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking
information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t like based on traffic
to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

COOKIES

We may place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. The cookie
itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of
this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only
personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie
can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Gregory Poole
uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system
delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you’ve set your browser to
warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie.
You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies
to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.

USE OF INFORMATION

Gregory Poole uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their
experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements
on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out
electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message
boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule
(depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think
subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Gregory Poole
never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors
or partners.

We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t like
based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how
well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We
track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests
our users. But we don’t track which terms a particular user enters.

Gregory Poole may create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for
advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more
effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their
needs. Because we don’t track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or
sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose any
information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

SHARING OF THE INFORMATION

Gregory Poole uses the above-described aggregate information to tailor our content to suit
your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience’s demographics. We
will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public , and except as necessary to fulfill any product order made by the user.

SECURITY

Gregory Poole operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and
password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed
and enhanced and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by
our customers.

OPT-OUT POLICY

We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:

Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.

Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need
to gather any personally identifiable information from our users.

YOUR CONSENT

By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Gregory
Poole. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so
that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances we disclose it.
