Please review our Note to Parents, if you have any questions regarding our Policy with respect to children.

You can also learn more about any of the athletes of ULTIMATEPROS by referring to their respective Official Web Sites located on ULTIMATEPROS.com. 3. How the information is used ULTIMATEPROS.com may use information provided at registration or information obtained through third parties to offer better targeted products and services to you. We use targeting to customize and enhance your online experience on the site. The use of information provided at registration or obtained through third parties will not be provided to advertisers or partners, except in aggregate form, unless you have consented to such use at registration. An ULTIMATEPROS.com user may change or update his or her personal information at any time by visiting the registration area. ULTIMATEPROS.com uses "cookie" technology. Cookies are pieces of information transferred to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Such technology is an industry standard and is used by most major Web sites. ULTIMATEPROS.com will never use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. In order to effectively use the site and some of its features, your browser must accept cookies. Users should be aware that ULTIMATEPROS.com can not control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for ULTIMATEPROS.com. If a user does not want information collected throughout the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept cookies; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features available on ULTIMATEPROS.com. ULTIMATEPROS.com tracks certain general usage pattern information, including what pages people visit and how long they have been registered users. ULTIMATEPROS.com may log users' IP addresses (the group of four numbers separated by periods, such as 123.45.64.89, that identifies a particular host computer) for the purposes of system administration, site tracking and reporting of aggregate usage information to our marketing and product development teams. From time to time, ULTIMATEPROS.com may solicit your opinion to determine your preferences and dislikes in order to provide you with a better product. These surveys are always optional to the user and your decision not to participate in a survey will not affect your status as an ULTIMATEPROS.com user. Should you choose to participate, any information you give us may be used in aggregate form for marketing purposes, and to enhance your overall experience on our site. 4. With whom the information may be shared Once again, ULTIMATEPROS.com will not provide any personally identifiable information, other than to its affiliates, about you to advertisers or other partners without your consent. As stated above, ULTIMATEPROS.com may, however, provide advertisers and/or other partners with anonymous aggregated information about our users to illustrate trends and patterns. All third parties with whom we share such information will have independent privacy and data collection practices and ULTIMATEPROS.com has no responsibility or liability for their policies or actions. We will never give out any information linking your real name to your screen name unless you authorize us to do so, or unless required to do so by law. ULTIMATEPROS.com has several partners that can offer valuable products and services to our members. From time to time, ULTIMATEPROS.com may give or sell a list from our database of users to these third party vendors. These lists will consist of only those users that have "opted in" to receiving special offers and promotions during the initial registration process. ULTIMATEPROS.com will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that every marketing offer sent to an ULTIMATEPROS.com user as a result of the provision of such information contains a link for that user to no longer receive such offers. While ULTIMATEPROS.com is careful in choosing its partners and advertisers, we are only responsible for content on our own site. All third parties associated with ULTIMATEPROS.com (including, but not limited to, advertisers, sponsors and other Internet sites) with whom we share information have independent privacy and data collection practices. ULTIMATEPROS.com does not control this collection of information and is neither responsible nor liable for their independent policies or actions. 5. What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information You are not required to receive any mailings that you do not wish to receive. During the registration process, you will have the option to sign up to receive newsletters and selected sponsor offers and discounts. You will not receive such information if you do not select such options. If, after you choose to receive such information, you wish to discontinue receiving these items, you may change your subscription preferences by visiting the registration area or by indicating your preference by following the instructions provided within the e-mails received. If a username and password is required to access the feature, you will need to provide such information to update your registration preferences. If you have forgotten your password, you may obtain it by visiting the registration area and requesting it to be sent to you at the e-mail address you originally provided during registration. 6. The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control ULTIMATEPROS.com has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under its control. The servers for ULTIMATEPROS.com are stored in a physically secure and climate controlled off-site facility. Beyond the physical protection of the servers, we protect against data loss by regularly backing up data, performing consistency checks with independently recorded log files to prevent tampering, and restricting access to information on our servers via several user authentication technologies. Our site uses SSL or "Secure Sockets Layer", an industry standard security protocol. When you place an order on the site and your credit card information is transmitted, you will connect with our secure server. SSL sends your browser information that encrypts your order, changing all the information that you send back into a code that is extremely difficult to decipher. Only those employees needed to carry out the business functions will have access to information on individual ULTIMATEPROS.com customers. We train each such employee with respect to the ULTIMATEPROS.com Privacy Policy, and those violating these policies will be subject to disciplinary action. It is important to remember that whatever you transmit or disclose online can be collected and used by others or unlawfully intercepted by third parties. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. In addition, we may disclose information to law enforcement or other government officials if we determine such disclosure to be appropriate, or if we are compelled to disclose it by court order or operation of law. Your ULTIMATEPROS personalization account is password protected so that only you can access it and view the user information relevant to your account. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. At no time will any ULTIMATEPROS.com employee or company representative ask for your password via e-mail. If you ever receive such an inquiry, please notify ULTIMATEPROS.com immediately at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your screen names, passwords and/or other account information. Any information voluntarily disclosed by users and posted on our site (on message boards and/or in chat areas) may be viewed and used by others. If users post personal information that is accessible to the public online, the user does so at his or her own risk. Users accept that they may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. 7. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information You will also have the option to correct any inaccuracies in your ULTIMATEPROS personalization account or other registration by returning to the registration area and updating your profile and preferences. If a username and password is required to access the feature, you will need to provide such information to update your registration information. If you have forgotten your password, you may obtain it by visiting the registration area and requesting it to be sent to you at the e-mail address you originally provided during registration. LAST UPDATED: July 1, 2008 Copyright 2001 ULTIMATEPROS, LLC. All rights reserved. Use of this site signifies your acceptance of the Terms of Use. ULTIMATEPROS.COM NOTE TO PARENTS It is ULTIMATEPROS.com's policy not to solicit any personally identifiable information from children. If ULTIMATEPROS.com determines that a person is under the age of 13, based on the information provided during the registration process, that person will not be permitted to register, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. A number of interactive features on ULTIMATEPROS.com require registration to participate. All registrants will be required to enter their full name, age, zip code and e-mail address and to select a special user name to be used as an identifier for the feature. In addition, registrants will be required to enter a password and a secret hint that will help us verify their identity if they forget their password. When a child under 13 years old tries to register for such features on ULTIMATEPROS.com, we also request an e-mail address of the child's parent or guardian which is only used to notify the parent or guardian of the child's attempted registration. By following the instructions provided in the notice, the parent or guardian will be given the option to approve or decline the child's registration. In addition, we will send a separate e-mail notification to the child's e-mail address to inform him/her that the registration will not become valid unless we receive approval from his/her parent or guardian. If the parent or guardian declines the child's registration or fails to approve the registration within the time period specified in the notice, the registration will not be activated and ULTIMATEPROS.com will not retain any personal information submitted by the child. Even after a child's registration is approved by his/her parent or guardian, ULTIMATEPROS.com will not share such information with any third parties. Children who indicate that they are under 13 years old will not be able to make credit card purchases or participate in interactive features of ULTIMATEPROS.com that do not require registration but necessitate the collection and retention of personal information (e.g., entering a sweepstakes). ULTIMATEPROS.com recognizes that this information can be confusing, and therefore asks that you please discuss this statement with your children.
