products that they have purchased, by seeking rebates or by participating in
contests and other promotional programs sponsored by Price Pfister. Consumers
may provide this personal information to Price Pfister in writing, over the
telephone by e-mail or through our Web site. Price Pfister may retain all of
the personal information so provided to it. You are under no obligation to
provide any personal information to Price Pfister. If you choose not to provide

services, participate in our programs or take advantage of some of the features
on our Web sites. We use the information you provide to respond to your
requests, to improve our services, to communicate with you, to permit you to

also helps us better serve you and our other customers.

may contact you directly with offers or personalized communications that might
be of interest to you. We also may receive information about you from other

updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so
that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication
more easily. Price Pfister occasionally may sell a business unit. In such

information transmitted through the internet?

applies to personal information acquired by Price Pfister through its Web
sites. When you visit a Price Pfister Web site, we receive and store certain
types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web
sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your
Web browser accesses our Web sites. We also receive and store any information

or give to us in any other way Our Web sites allow you to contact us directly
with questions or comments regarding our products, services, Web site, warranty
registration, surveys, contests and other matters. This process requires you to
give certain personal information so that we may address your inquiry. We may
receive a confirmation when you open email from us if your computer supports
such capabilities. This helps us make our emails more useful and interesting.
We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies in an
effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not
want to receive email or other mail from us, please adjust your customer
communication preferences as discussed further below. In an effort to
continually improve our products and services, we may use your personal

on any of our Web sites in order to determine the effectiveness of the Price
Pfister Web sites. Price Pfister's Web sites do not target children and our
requests for information are not directed to children. We do not intentionally
collect personal information from children. If registration or other

we will not allow the child to continue to provide personal information and any
information provided to that point will be deleted from our records. We do not
filter advertisements or other content that children may view through the
public portions of our Web site. We may add external links to other related Web

privacy on the Internet as we do; however, we are not responsible for the use
that such linked sites make of personal information provided to them or the
