PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: September 24th, 2010

Lou’s GPS Systems strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of
Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address,
street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized
third party. “Period.”

How we gather information from users

How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting,
the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided.
For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for
access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when
you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms,
and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, Lou’s GPS Systems
also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools
that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of
your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and
hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store
your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather information through other means.
In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for
example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do
you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to
re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize
the site’s features according to your preferences.

What we do with the information we collect

Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy
and do not share your information with anyone.

Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you)
may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other
users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are
visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information
may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners.
Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.

We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
Lou’s GPS Systems to communicate with you about your registration
and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by Lou’s GPS Systems and other topics
we think you might find of interest.

Personally Identifiable Information collected by Lou’s GPS Systems may
also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of ecommerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with
you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of
our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access such information.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to
time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may
be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in
response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may
owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior
to disclosure in such cases.

Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements

Lou’s GPS Systems expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates
to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties,
including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers
accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may
link to, or view as part of a frame on a Lou’s GPS Systems page, certain
content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
Lou’s GPS Systems you may be introduced to, or be able to access, infor-
mation, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other
parties. Lou’s GPS Systems is not responsible for the actions or policies
of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of
those third parties when providing information on a feature or page
operated by a third party.

While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of
your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some
of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that
enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before.

Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third
parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
Lou’s GPS Systems does not control the use of this technology by third
parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions
or policies of such third parties.
