We respect your privacy and are committed to maintaining and using any information we collect through your use of the Site responsibly, and this Privacy Policy addresses such use and disclosure of your personal information we collect from you. By visiting the Site, or providing your personal information to us, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. Your continued use of the Site after any change to our Privacy Policy shall be deemed as your acceptance of such changes. Any changes made to this Privacy Policy shall be effective as of the "posted date" above. We recommend that you check this policy periodically to review the policy and learn about any changes that may have occurred. Information We Collect While you may use some of the functionality of the Site without registration, some of the tools and services on the Site may require registration. If you use the Site without registering, the only information we collect will be Non-Personal Information such as IP address through the use of Cookies or Web Beacons, which are described in more detail below. If you choose to register on a Site for certain services, we require you to submit Personally Identifiable Information such as first name, last name, and email address. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personally Identifiable Information you submit to Beat Generals. Inaccurate information may affect the information or products you receive when using our Site and tools and our ability to contact you as described in this Privacy Policy. For example, your email address should be kept current because that it is how we communicate with you. Cookies We collect Non-Personal Information about your use of the Site through the use of Cookies. A "Cookie" is small text file placed on the hard drive or storage device on your computer when you visit the Site. The Cookie stores information about your visit to our Site. Some Cookies are "session" Cookies and only last for the duration of your visit. Other Cookies known as "persistent" Cookies remain on your computer after end of each session and store information helpful to your experience. Our Site utilizes both session and persistent Cookies. Every computer that accesses the Site is assigned a different Cookie by Beat Generals. Cookies do not retain any Personally Identifiable Information on your computer. The Cookies allow us to access information that we can then use to improve your shopping experience, such as holding items in your shopping bag, accessing your address book, or providing you with customized pages based on your past viewing or purchasing history. Cookies are also used to facilitate a user's log-in, as navigation aides and as session timers. Most web browser software can be set to reject all Cookies. If you reject our Cookies or otherwise disable the Cookie feature on your web browser, certain functions and conveniences of our Site may not work properly. But you do have to accept our Cookies in order to productively use our Site. We do not link Non-Personal Information from Cookies to Personally Identifiable Information without your permission. Web Beacons We also may use Web Beacons to collect Non-Personal Information about your use of our Site and various services. A "Web Beacon" is a transparent graphic image, no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, that is placed on our Site or in an e-mail that we send you. The information collected by Web Beacons (i) allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our Site, (ii) how many people open our emails, and (iii) for what purposes these actions are being taken. Our Web Beacons are not used to track your activity outside of our Site. We do not link Non-Personal Information from Web Beacons to Personally Identifiable Information without your permission. Web Beacons are most often used in conjunction with Cookies to monitor activity on our Site. When you visit a particular web page, Web Beacons notify us of your visit. Since Web Beacons are used in combination with Cookies, if you disable Cookies the Web Beacons will only detect an anonymous Site visit. Marketing Partners Collecting Non-Personal Information on Beat General's Behalf From time to time Beat Generals may engage third parties to collect information, on our behalf, to help Beat Generals manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. These marketing partners help us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and better understand how visitors use our Site. To do this, Cookies and Web Beacons are placed on our Site by these third parties on our behalf. The type of information collected in this manner includes pages visited and products purchased. By supplementing our records, this information helps us identify what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which of our products most interest our customers and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although our marketing partners record the information coming from our Site on our behalf, the data cannot be used for any reason without our authorization. If your browser is set to reject Cookies, this Non-Personal Information will not be collected by these third parties. We do not share your Personally Identifiable Information with these marketing partners. Payment Processor We utilize a third party to process all of your purchases on the Site ("Payment Processor") and it collects the necessary Personally Identifiable Information such as first name, last name, credit card number, and other information needed to necessitate purchases.

We recommend that you review the Payment Processor's Privacy Policy.

In the event that we are legally compelled to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to a third party, we will attempt to notify you unless doing so would violate the law or court order. In the unlikely event of a sale of some or all of our business, Beat Generals may disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to the individual or entity agreeing to purchase, acquire, or merge with Beat Generals, LLC.; however, Beat Generals shall require such individual or entity to agree to and abide by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. Disclosure to Third-Party Contractors/Service Providers Beat Generals third-party contractors sometimes have limited access to your Personally Identifiable Information in the course of providing products or services to Beat Generals. These contractors include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services, and/or content for the operation and maintenance of our Site. We may also engage third-party contractors to help us fulfill orders or maintain and manage our customer database. Access to your Personally Identifiable Information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the contractor to perform its limited function for Beat Generals. We also contractually require that our contractors 1) protect the privacy of your Personally Identifiable Information consistent with this Privacy Policy, and 2) not use or disclose your Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose other than providing us with products and services as required by law. Disclosure of Aggregate Information Beat Generals may provide Aggregate Information to third parties. We do not provide Personally Identifiable Information that we collect as a part of this Aggregate Information.

Inherent Risk of Using Internet Despite Beat Generals' efforts to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet may be intercepted.
