What personally

Netbates.com
collects information in several ways from
different parts of our website. Some personal
information is gathered when you register. During
registration, we ask for your name and email address.
The system may also ask for your street address,
city, state/province, zip/postal code & telephone
number, although only fields that are marked with an asterisk
(*) on the registration field are required.
This information is used solely to assist you in
navigating the system by automatically filling in
certain forms (to insure you are awarded a rebate on a
purchase) with
your information so that you don't have to continually
re-enter it. Once you register you are no longer
anonymous to Netbates.com - you have a username and are able
to take full advantage of the many offerings of the Netbates.com
website.
In addition to registration we may ask you for
personal information at other times, including (but
not limited to) when you take
advantage of the other features of the Netbates.com. If you
contact us, we may keep a record of that
correspondence. Every page within Netbates.com includes a
link to this Privacy Policy.
