Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our home page and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the following The Offshore Site ("The Offshore Site") Web site(s), but to make this notice easier to read we will refer here only "our Web site", meaning either the-offshore-site.com. Our Web site may contain links to other Web sites operated by third parties. The Offshore Site is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third party Web sites.

The Information We Collect

Our Web site is not set up to automatically collect personally-identifiable information from visitors to our Web site. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Web site. This information is used only for internal purposes by our technical support staff.

Our Web site does track certain information about the visits to our Web site. For example, we compile statistics that show the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Web site and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics are used internally to improve our Web site and for product development and marketing purposes generally. Those aggregated statistics may also be provided to advertisers and other third parties, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather suchinformation.

In a few areas on our Web site, we may ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain information, materials and services available from our Web site, or to enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with customer service or technical support issues, or to follow up with you after your visit, or to otherwise support your customer relationship with The Offshore Site. It is completely optional for you to participate. However, failure to participate may mean that you cannot access and use certain information, materials and services.

For example, we may request information from you when you:

1.Log-on to certain areas of our Web site, where you may be prompted to provide us with your user name and password as a condition to gaining access to certain information, materials or services.
2.Register or sign-up to subscribe to a service.
3.Subscribe to a newsletter or desire to be added to our mailing lists for other products or services.
4.Place an order.
5.Participate in a sweepstakes or other promotional offer.
6.Provide feedback in an online survey.

In each of the instances above, we typically ask for your name, e-mail address, phone number, address, the type of business you are in, product preference information, any applicable identification number or password that we may require, as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access to and use of certain information, materials and services. In the case of mailed materials, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.

How We Use Information

The Offshore Site only uses your personal information for specific purposes.

The personal information you provide to us when using our Web site -- such as your name, postal or e-mail address or telephone number -- will be kept confidential and used to support your customer relationship with The Offshore Site.

It also may be used to notify you of special offers, updated information and new products and services from The Offshore Site, or offers from third parties that we think may be of interest to you. Agents or contractors of The Offshore Site who are given access to your personal information will be required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for The Offshore Site.

The Offshore Site may enhance or merge your information collected at its site with data from third parties for purposes of marketing products or services to you.

We will send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only The Offshore Site (or agents or contractors working on behalf of The Offshore Site and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
