allows you to record limited amounts of personal book information on a voluntary basis on server(s) maintained by our Provider or on its behalf. The information you
submit to us will be stored on a server as is standard practice for web site precaution. However, we do not warrant or represent that the information you submit
to us will be protected against, loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties. We may also collect information about you and your use of our site through the use of
Cookies. "Cookies" are small computer files that we transfer to your computer's hard drive that allow us to know how often someone visits our site and the activities
they conduct while on our site (such as the chatrooms you visited, etc.). This information helps us dynamically generate pertient content on web pages
specifically designed for you and also allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our site and for what purpose. Sponsors and advertisers may also
use Cookies when you select their advertisement; we are unable to control their use of Cookies or how they manage the information they gather.

Except as set forth in this paragraph, Noah Webster Academy will not disclose to
