you might submit a person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic

the recipient, you might submit the recipient's name and address. The types
of personally identifiable information that may be collected about other

We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your

online chat guest), we may publish your screen name and other information
you have provided to us (e.g. transcript of the chat, including your
question).
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect
to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to

involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations
of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by law. In addition, we may
transfer information about you if we are acquired by or merged with another
company.
Agents and contractors of Carhopp.net who have access to personally
identifiable information are required to protect this information in a

We may also disclose personally identifiable information to companies whose
practices are not covered by this privacy notice (e.g., other marketers,
magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases, and non-profit
organizations) that want to market products or services to you. If our site
shares personally identifiable information, it will provide you with an
opportunity to opt out or block such uses. For instructions on how to opt

What is the NAI?
The NAI (Network Advertising Initiative) is a cooperative group of network
advertisers. We have developed a set of privacy principles, in conjunction
with the Federal Trade Commission. The NAI's foremost commitment is to
provide consumers with clear explanations of Internet advertising practices
and how they affect you and the Internet itself.
Opt-Out
Most content on the Internet-- from the latest political news to
up-to-the-minute sports scores and stock quotes-- is free to consumers. Why?
Because of effective Internet advertising. The NAI knows, however, that
users are concerned about their online privacy. So, our member companies
have banded together to give you the choice to "opt-out" of targeted
advertising delivered by each and every NAI ad network.
