Examples of these functions may include, but are not limited to, fulfilling orders, credit card payments and email delivery management. These agents have access to personal information only as needed to perform their functions and not for any other purposes and are bound by confidentiality agreements not to disclose any information for any other purpose.

Cookies
A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on the users' hard drive containing information about the user. When you visit our site, The BOSs™ may place a "cookie" on your computer's hard drive in order to improve our service to you by recognizing you when you visit our site. By automatically verifying that your membership or previous usage of the site, the cookie makes it more convenient for you to use The BOSs™ . Cookies may also be used to compile aggregate information about areas of our site that are visited most frequently. This aggregate traffic information can be used to enhance the content of our site and make your experience more enjoyable. We do not correlate traffic information with data about individual users. Simply put: we may collect data on how many members looked at a particular page, but we do not track which pages you looked at while visiting our site.

If you've set your browser to reject cookies, you can still use our site, but you may need to re-enter information that we would normally obtain from the cookie (for example, your email address). You can also set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies. If you do, you will receive a warning message each time our site attempts to place a cookie on your hard drive. Cookies also may be placed by our advertisers or by independent third parties that actually operate the servers on which the ads reside. We do not have access to or control over these cookies. Although The BOSs™ encourages all third parties to adhere to appropriate privacy standards and policies, we are not responsible for the actions or policies of such parties.

Contests, Surveys and Promotions From time to time, The BOSs™ sponsors contests, surveys or promotions and may allow other companies to sponsor contests or promotions on our site. Participation in such contests, surveys or promotions is completely voluntary. In order to enter a contest or promotion, you may be asked to provide personal identifying information. If you consent by providing the information and entering, such information may be disclosed to the contest's sponsor, whose identity will be clearly indicated on the entry form and in the official rules for each contest or promotion. If The BOSs™ is the only sponsor of the contest or promotion, information you submit will be treated the same way we would treat your registration information. Other companies who sponsor or co-sponsor our contests and promotions may have their own policies for handling personal information, and information you submit will be subject to those policies as well. We may also give out your address and phone number for the sole purpose of fulfilling a prize for a contest or promotion. Although The BOSs™ encourages third parties to adhere to appropriate privacy standards and policies, we are not responsible for the actions or policies of such parties.

Sponsorships
Our sponsors and partners also may offer you the opportunity to sign up for their products, services or information, such as financial information, newsletters or promotions. In these instances, we will inform you about what specific personal information is requested by the sponsor (such as your email address), and we will ask you for permission to release your information to the sponsor. If you consent, The BOSs™ will transfer your information to the sponsor. Once your information has been transferred to the sponsor, The BOSs™ is not responsible for its use. The sponsor's use of the information is governed by the sponsor's privacy policy. While we encourage our third party sponsors to adhere to appropriate privacy standards, we are not responsible for the actions or policies of our sponsors.

Links
Our website contains links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each site they visit that collects personal information. While we carefully choose the websites to which we link, this privacy policy applies solely to information collected on The BOSs™ website.

Security
If you register as a member, we will give you a password to protect your account from abuse by third parties. We encourage you to register as a member as once you have password protection, no one will be able to pose as you or otherwise gain access to your account. You should not disclose your password to anyone else and you are responsible for its secrecy. No one from The BOSs™ will ever ask you for your password over the phone or in an unsolicited email.

This website takes every precaution to protect our users' collected information. When users submit personal information via our website, such information will be protected offline and online as described in this statement.

We, or our agents and partners on our behalf, do everything in our power to protect your information offline as well. Where one of our partners or agents has access to or maintains sensitive personal information, we enter into confidentiality agreements in order to ensure the privacy of such user information. Internally, access to all of our members' personally identifiable information is restricted to those employees who need access in order to fulfill their job responsibilities. Our employees with such access have password-protected computer terminals so that only they may access such information. Furthermore, all The BOSs™ employees are kept up on various security and privacy practice issues as they arise.

Finally, the servers for our site are stored in a physically secured facility off site. Beyond the physical security of your information, we also back up our servers regularly to prevent loss of data. While it is our goal to safeguard our users' and members' personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any transmission and your information is submitted at your own risk.

Notification of Changes
The BOSs™ may revise this privacy policy from time to time and reserves the right to do so. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will notify users by posting a prominent announcement on our website so users are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and what circumstances, if any, it may be disclosed to a third party. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we would notify users by way of an email. You will still have the opportunity to elect not to have The BOSs™ use your information in this different manner. We will use your information in accordance with the privacy policy under which it was collected absent permission to do otherwise.
