Information Collection and Use
XBRL US, INC., or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC., collects personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information from users in a variety of ways. XBRL US, INC. is the sole owner of all the information collected on the Web site, and may use and share with third parties any and all of the information collected in any manner whatsoever that it deems appropriate for business purposes in its sole discretion.

Registration
To access areas designated as "member areas," users must be current members or affiliates of XBRL US, INC.. The information collected when members join XBRL US, INC. is also used to control access to these areas of the Web site. XBRL US, INC. members and affiliates who wish to use the "member areas" of the Web site will be required initially to enter certain personal identification information (e.g., current XBRL US, INC. member organization, last name, e-mail address with member company) to gain access.

Online Orders
XBRL US, INC. requests information from its primary member contact on its membership form, including contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date, etc.). This information is primarily used by XBRL US, INC. and third parties designated by XBRL US, INC. for billing and to fill customer orders, but may be used by XBRL US, INC. or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC. for other business purposes. For example, if there is a problem processing an order, this information may be used to contact the user.

Cookies
Currently there are two types of cookies. The standard cookie is information about the user stored on the user's hard drive.  The second type of cookie, called a session cookie, also stores information about a user. However, these cookies are not stored on the user's hard drive. These cookies are used only while the user is actively connected to a Web site. Once the user closes the Internet browser (or is inactive for more than 20 minutes), these session cookies are destroyed. XBRL US, INC. uses both types of cookies on its Web site.  In the future, XBRL US, INC. may add additional cookies for business purposes.
 
XBRL US, INC. uses permanent cookies for several business purposes. Primarily, when visitors arrive at our site, a unique cookie is automatically stored on the visitor's computer by their Internet browser that allows analysis software to differentiate between new and returning users. 

Second, a permanent cookie is written when members opt to save their log-on information. This cookie saves time for members because they do not have to enter security information for each visit to the site. If members reject the cookie, they may still use the Web site but they will have to manually log in to access "member areas."
 
Finally, session cookies are used while a user is active on the Web site for a multitude of business purposes. For example, these cookies allow members to navigate freely through the Web site once they have logged in to the Web site. Without these cookies, members would have to login each time they requested a "member area" page. These cookies are also used while a member is joining, renewing or altering account information. This allows the Web site to track a user's activity before any data is committed to a database.

Log Files
Each view of a page on the Web site is logged. Information such as the user's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, time of day and duration of activity on the Web site is recorded. This information may be used by XBRL US, INC. or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC. to analyze trends, administer the Web site, track users' movements and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use or for other business purposes.
 
If illegal activity is detected on the Web site, XBRL US, INC. or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC. may attempt to connect an IP address to personal information.

Sharing
XBRL US, INC. will share aggregated demographic information with third parties, including without limitation its partners and advertisers, as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
 
From time to time, we share personally identifiable information, as XBRL US, INC. deems appropriate in its sole discretion, with third parties in a number of ways for a variety of business purposes, including name and other personally identifiable information.

Links
The Web site contains links to other Internet sites. Please be aware that XBRL US, INC. is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other Internet sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Web site and to read the privacy statements of each Internet site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by XBRL US, INC.'s Web site.

Surveys
From time to time, XBRL US, INC., or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC., requests information from users via surveys. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code). Survey information may be used by XBRL US, INC., or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC., for a variety of business purposes. For example, surveys will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use of and satisfaction with the Web site and other services offered by XBRL US, INC..

Security
When you submit information via the Web site, XBRL US, INC., or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC., takes certain precautions to protect your user information both online and offline. For example, currently, when registration/order forms on our Web site ask users to enter information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software: Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL"). While you are on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Internet browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked or open, when you are just 'surfing'. These security features may be updated from time-to-time in XBRL US, INC.'s sole discretion.
 
Just as we currently use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also use certain efforts to protect user-information offline. Currently, our users' information is restricted primarily in our offices and our servers are all password protected.
 
If you have any questions about the current state of security with respect to information collected at the Web site or stored offline, you may send an email to webmaster@xbrl.us.

Special Offers
XBRL US, INC. sends all new members a welcoming e-mail to verify password and username.  Members and other visitors to our Web site may occasionally receive information on products, services, newsletters and other information from XBRL US, INC., or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC.. XBRL US, INC., or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC., may also send notifications of renewals and other communications to members via e-mail.

Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive our e-mail newsletters or promotional materials may opt-out of receiving a specific communication from XBRL US, INC. by sending a blank reply e-mail. Please note that there are certain communications which will still be sent to users by XBRL US, INC., or third parties designated by XBRL US, INC., as referenced above, including without limitation site and Service Updates and membership renewals.

Site and Service Updates
XBRL US, INC. also sends user site and service announcement updates. Members cannot opt-out from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with users to provide requested services and in regard to issues relating to their account via e-mail or phone.

Correcting/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information (such as zip code) changes or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct or update personal data which that user has provided to us. This can usually be done by contacting webmaster@xbrl.us.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on XBRL US, INC.'s homepage so that our users are always informed of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
