The Brass Key, Inc. business ("Brass Key") has created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your profile information and informing you about how we handle it. This privacy policy only applies to transactions and activities in which you engage, and data gathered, on the Brass-Key.com web site (the "Site") and does not apply to any other web site or offline point of contact between Brass Key, or any other company, and consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may modify it from time to time. This privacy policy was last revised on September 22, 2003. Each time you visit the Site or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.

Your IP Address
Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our Site, we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you.

Cookies
Like most websites, the Site uses cookies to keep track of your purchases and other activity on the Site and enhance your experience on the Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password, and if you choose, to save other personal information so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site. Third parties advertisers on the Site may also place cookies on your browser. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of the Site. Brass Key does not collect information passively through cookies or other tracking mechanisms except in the circumstances described above. Cookies DON'T contain any personal information about a specific user. We don't use cookies or other non-consensual methods to take personally identifiable or online contact information about you or your family off of your computer. Cookies are also not used to collect information specifically about you or your family for sharing with third parties.

Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and provide you with information on products and services that may be of interest to you, we may collect profile information (i.e. information that could be used to contact you such as full name, postal address, phone number and email address), financial information (e.g. passwords and credit card numbers), demographic information (e.g. age, zip code, hometown, gender, household income, purchase history information and age), public information (e.g. member fan mail, articles and a user name) from you. Please note that nowhere on the Site do we knowingly collect profile information from children under the age of 18.

Information Other Web Sites Collect From You
On the Site, we may place links to other web sites operated by other parties. When you click on these links and visit these other web sites, you need to be aware that we do not control these other web sites or these other web sites' business practices, and that this privacy policy does not apply to these other web sites. Consequently, the operators of these other web sites may collect different kinds of information about you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were collected on the Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.

How We Use Your Personal Information
Brass Key doesn't require anyone to share any personal information about themselves in order to enjoy our web site. That means you can visit our site without any need to register with us. However, our sites contain special sections and privileges for members that register (such as but not limited to sweepstakes, newsletter, special offers, etc.). The personal information we ask for is usually first and last name, mailing address, age, phone number and an email address. See below for how we use this information. If you do not wish to receive such communications and product information from Brass Key at any time, just email us at customerservice@brass-key.com. Our mailings and emails will also include information allowing you to ask not to receive such information in the future.

We may offer a range of products available for purchase online, as well as a chance to get our catalog. When a customer places an order or requests a catalog online, we collect information associated with the transaction. This information includes the customer's name, mailing address, products ordered, shipping addresses, and credit card information. We ask for this information so that we may fulfill the order or catalog request. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect credit card data during transmission, and adopt careful internal procedures to safeguard this information in our system.

When a customer places an online order, we will send a confirming e-mail message if the customer includes an e-mail address. We may also send an occasional e-mail featuring a special promotion or product that may be of interest to our customers. If you do receive an e-mail from us that you would rather not receive, simply follow the unsubscribe instructions included in the e-mail.

When a customer requests a catalog or places an order online, we add the customer's name and address to our print catalog mailing list. If a customer does not wish to receive our mailings, they can send the mailing label from their catalogue to the following address: Brass Key, Inc., P.O. Box 4009, Federal Way, WA 98003.

If Brass Key believes that anyone's behavior on our site may damage us or anyone else, we may disclose the relevant personal information in order to prevent this harm. In that case, we might try to identify the wrongdoer, contact them or bring legal action against them. We may also disclose personal information if we believe that the disclosure is required by law, or in response to a legal request.

How Your Personal Information May be used by Third Parties
With your permission, Brass Key may provide your information to outside companies that offer products or services that may be of interest. Should you wish to change this preference, send an email customerservice@brass-key.com.

By purchasing products or services, electing to receive communications (such as emails or newsletters), or electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes, or other programs (such as discount or rewards programs), offered by third parties on the Site, you consent to our providing your profile information to those third parties. Third parties may use your personal information in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions.

You will need to contact those third parties to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them. Additionally, you agree that we will have the right to use and disclose all such information you submit in the same manner in which we use and disclose all other information you submit. Your profile information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy, of Brass Key.

In special circumstances, Brass Key may give other companies access to our information database, but only if necessary to allow them to provide database or server maintenance or security, help us process and fulfill orders or requests, or provide other similar services to Brass Key. If we do provide access, we require those other companies to sign confidentiality agreements promising to keep secret any information they see.

How We Use Demographic Information
We use demographic information to tailor the Site and communications to the interests of our members and visitors. We may share anonymous aggregate demographic information with advertisers and other third parties so that they can tailor their advertisements and communications to the appropriate audience.

Address Change
Customers who have recently moved or are planning a move in the near future should let us know by sending an e-mail with their name (first and last) old address (e-mail and/or postal) and new address to customerservice@brass-key.com.

Our Security Precautions, Location of Information
The Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computer networks which may be located outside of the state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction in which you reside, and the countries in which these computer networks are located may not have privacy laws as protective as the laws in your country.

If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy, the practices of the Site, or your dealings with the Site, you can contact us at customerservice@brass-key.com. You can also send us mail to: Privacy Officer, Brass Key, Inc., P.O. Box 4009, Federal Way, WA 98003.
