USA SB SD is committed to taking reasonable precautions in protecting your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") outlines the type of information that is collected by ASA on this Site, and how we use and protect the information. This Policy also tells you what to do if you do not want your Personal Information (defined below) collected when you visit our Site, and how you can change information you have already provided to us. This Policy applies only to our Site. It does not apply to banners, sweepstakes and other advertisements or promotions we may sponsor or participate in on Sites owned by third parties.
Your Consent to This Policy
By using our Site, you consent to agree with the terms of our current Policy as posted in this area of the Site. If you do not agree with any term in this Policy, please do not provide any Personal Information on this Site.
If you choose not to provide Personal Information on this Site, you may not be able to do certain things, like access particular areas of the Site, customize the Site, download programs, enter a sweepstakes or contest or request product information.
Collection of Personal Information
As used in this Policy, "Personal Information" means any type of personally identifiable information such as your name, street address, telephone number, credit card information, screen name, email address, etc. This Site may collect any of these types of Personal Information. Please be assured that USA SB SD will not collect any Personal Information from your visits to our Site unless you provide this information voluntarily.
When you provide us with Personal Information, you are authorizing us to use the Personal Information in accordance with the terms of this Policy, which includes your right to limit our use of the Personal Information as described in this Policy (see "Who to Contact" below).
This Site may also collect Personal Information from you about a third party (e.g., the Site might allow you to send an electronic "post card" to a business associate, in which case we will need that person's name and e-mail address). Please note that we use such information only for the specified purpose (e.g., to mail the post card) and we will not contact the third party again by e-mail unless and until the third party contacts us.
How We Use Your Information
When you supply Personal Information at this Site, USA SB SD will use the Personal Information for the purpose for which it was collected (e.g., to enter you in a sweepstakes or to send you product information). Generally, USA SB SD may wish to collect Personal Information about you in connection with the following services:
Participation in any online contests, sweepstakes or other promotions;
Questions or comments sent through the Site;
Inclusion in our online newsletter program;
Participation in any message boards or chat rooms we may establish; and
Registration to become a registered user of the Site.
Personal Information may also be used by USA SB SD to contact you regarding other products and services that may be of interest to you. At any time, however, you may opt out of such future contact. (See "Who to Contact" below.)
At times we may retain third parties to analyze data we collect on our Site, including Personal Information, solely to help us improve our services or products and our Site. In addition, if you order a product or service from us, we may share Personal Information with suppliers and other third parties to allow delivery of such product or service.

Finally, please note that we will release your Personal Information if required to do so by law, or by search warrant, subpoena or court order.
