Such Creative entities and/or business partners are governed by our Privacy Policy with respect to the use of this data and are bound by appropriate confidentiality agreements.

Non-personally identifiable information
As a visitor to our Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal
information. We do, however, collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things,
which pages were visited, the order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks were
"clicked" with Cookies. Such information is not linked to any
personally identifiable information. The non-personally identifiable information we collect
help us identify the most popular areas of our Site and determine the effectiveness of our
promotional activities.
Personally identifiable information
At some Creative sites, you can order products, register for materials, make requests, download
software, enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one of
our services, such as our online newsletters, or participate in one of our online forums or
communities. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these
pages include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card
information, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and
services. Data collected online may also be combined with information you provide when you
register your ownership of Creative products. Creative uses your information to better
understand your needs and to provide you with better service.
Why we collect your personal information
How we protect your information
To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy and to ensure the
appropriate use of information, we have put into place physical, electronic and managerial
procedures to safeguard the information that we collect online. We use encryption when
collecting or transferring data such as credit card information.

Children's Information
Creative does not target its web sites to children, and we will never knowingly collect
personally identifiable information from children without obtaining prior verifiable parental
consent. We ask that children have their parents review our Privacy Policy and complete the
registration process for their children. If we become aware that a subscriber is under the age
of 14 and has registered without prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove their
personally identifiable information from our files.

third party web sites are provided solely as a convenience to you. You are advised to check the
privacy policies of those sites before providing your personal information to them. Creative
