that we receive depends on what you do during your visit, and what service(s)
you request.

European Union Users
YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO AYAMBA'S PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE
PROCESSED BY AYAMBA IN THE COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS COLLECTED AND IN THE UNITED
STATES. UNITED STATES LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
MAY BE LESS STRINGENT THAN THE LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY.
IF YOU REPRESENT AN ORGANIZATION, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT EACH
MEMBER OF YOUR ORGANIZATION (INCLUDING EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS) ABOUT WHOM
PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROVIDED TO AYAMBA HAS GIVEN HIS OR HER EXPRESS
CONSENT TO AYAMBA'S PROCESSING OF SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION.
Information Ayamba Gathers and Tracks
Ayamba collects two kinds of information about visitors: 1) data that
visitors volunteer by signing up to receive news, scheduling product
demonstrations, entering contests, completing surveys or ordering products; and
2) aggregated tracking data we collect when visitors interact with our Web
Site.
Personal Information
When you request a service or information, place an order, submit feedback or
participate in a forum or survey, we may need to ask you for personal
information such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number. We
do not send you information unless you request it or we believe that the
information would benefit your business needs. If you do not want to receive
further information from us, simply contact us at the e-mail address listed in
the Feedback; Removal from Contact List section below, and request to be
removed from the contact list. Once we receive your request, we will use
commercially reasonable efforts to remove your name from the contact
list. If you wish to update any of your personal information,
please contact us at such e-mail address, and we will use commercially
reasonable efforts to update your contact information accordingly. Please
be aware, however, even if we update your personal information in our contact
list, or we remove such information, it may still be stored in other databases
(including those kept for archival purposes) and may still be used to compile
aggregated or demographic information for supply to third parties in accordance
with this privacy policy. It is our policy to not provide information
that identifies you personally to a third party without your permission, except
to process or fulfill your requests, or as otherwise set forth in this privacy
policy.
Non-Identifying Information
We may collect information about our visitors, customers, page views, traffic
patterns and related site information. This information helps us evaluate and
improve our site and is sometimes useful for marketing and investment analysis.
We may share this information with third parties, but only in aggregate
statistical form that includes no personally identifying information.
Ordering Products
We use your personal information to process your payment for Ayamba
products or third-party products for which we process orders. We share this personal information with our third party payment processing company, and we may share this personal information with other third
parties to the extent that we use them to fulfill orders. By submitting
your order to Ayamba via our online ordering process, you expressly
acknowledge and agree that Ayamba may share your personal information with
such third parties. To the extent that you may be redirected or your information transmitted to a third
party's website as part of the ordering process, the collection and use of your
personal information is subject to the privacy and security policies of such
third party (see Linked Site section below), so you will need to familiarize
yourself with those policies.
Use of "Cookies"
Cookies are small files that many web sites place on your hard drive that allow
such web sites to identify you. The use of cookies is a standard and common
practice of many web sites. For example, if you allow a site to remember your
login name or password, the site places a cookie on your computer. We may place
cookies on your computer to allow us to identify you during future visits to
our Web Site. We may use cookies to measure Web traffic, to offer you certain
services and to customize your visit. However, if you do not wish to receive
cookies, or want to be notified of when they are placed, your browser may
permit you to do so. In many browsers, you can change the browser settings to
warn you before accepting cookies or to block cookies. If you block cookies,
you may not be able to use certain site features or functions, or the Web Site
may not operate in an optimal mode.
Security
We use reasonable security procedures to protect the information you share with
us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Privacy Protections for Children.
Our Web Site is not directed at children. Therefore, we do not wish to
receive, nor do we knowingly collect, personal information from minors.
Linked Sites
Our Web Site may link to other web sites not controlled by Ayamba. Although
we try to be careful in the selection of our strategic service and technology
partners, we are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of any
other web sites, and you acknowledge and agree that any use of such other web
sites is entirely at your own risk. You should carefully review the
privacy and security practices of the other web sites before you provide such
web sites with any of your personal information.
Other Disclosures.
Although your privacy is very important to us, due to the existing legal,
regulatory, technical and security environment, we cannot fully ensure, nor do
we represent or warrant, that your private communications and other personal
information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may
be required to disclose your personal information to the government or other
third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully
intercept or access transmissions or private communications.
Additionally, in the unlikely event we need to investigate or resolve possible
problems or inquiries, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose any
information about you (including personal information) to private entities, law
enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion,
believe necessary or appropriate. In all instances, we will cooperate
fully when required by law to provide information regarding visitors.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. If
we update this privacy policy, we will place a notice on our Web Site
indicating such update. You are responsible to review the updated privacy
policy so that you are aware of our then-current privacy practices. If
you object to any such changes, you must cease using our website.
Continued use of our website following notice of any such changes shall
indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the
terms and conditions of such changes.

Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied in this privacy policy, in
connection with an assignment, sale, joint venture or other transfer or
disposition of some or all of the assets of Ayamba Inc., or its affiliated

to those third parties directly involved in the transfer or disposition of such
assets.
