We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill
your requests for our products, programs, and services, to
respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer
you other products, programs or services that we believe may

a request by you for an online newsletter, or to contact you
about your account with us.
We use the information that you provide about others to enable
us to send them your gifts or cards. From time to time, we
also may use this information to offer our products, programs,
or services to them.
The information we collect in connection with our online forums
and communities is used to provide an interactive experience.
We use this information to facilitate participation in these
online forums and communities and, from time to time, to offer

services.
We may disclose personally identifiable information in response
to legal process, for example, in response to a court order
or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response
to a law enforcement agency's request, or where we believe
it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding
illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving
potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations
of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by law. In addition,
we may transfer information about you if we are acquired by
or merged with another company.
Agents and contractors of Lagooner, Inc. who have access to
personally identifiable information are required to protect
this information in a manner that is consistent with this
Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the information
for any purpose other than to carry out the services they
are performing for Lagooner, Incorporated.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against
unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure
you that personally identifiable information that we collect
will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with
this Privacy Notice.
Certain Lagooner web pages may disclose personally identifiable
information to companies whose practices are not covered by
this privacy notice (e.g., other marketers, magazine publishers,
retailers, participatory databases, and non-profit organizations)
that want to market products or services to you. If a site
shares personally identifiable information, it will provide
you with an opportunity to opt out or block such uses. For
instructions on how to opt out from such disclosures, please

We may on occasion combine information we receive online with
outside records to enhance our ability to market to you those
products or services that may be of interest to you.
Finally, the Lagooner, Inc. sites covered by this Privacy
Notice will not use or transfer personally identifiable information
provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above
without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out
of these unrelated uses.
