Privacy Policy Lycos Network Privacy Policy Lycos has been acquired by Daum Communications Corp. Please click here for more
information. TRUSTe Certification Lycos is a licensee of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit
organization with a mission to build trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the principles of disclosure and informed
consent. Because Lycos wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, we have agreed to disclose our information practices
and have our privacy practices reviewed and audited for compliance by TRUSTe. The TRUSTe program covers only information that
is collected through the Lycos Network, and does not cover information that may be collected through software downloaded from
the network. Welcome to the Lycos Network, owned and produced by Lycos, Inc. and its subsidiary and affiliate corporations,
successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as "Lycos"). All Products and Services on the Lycos Network (as defined
in our Terms and Conditions) are made available subject to this Privacy Policy. By using our Products and Services, you agree,
without limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Privacy Policy or any other privacy or data collection policy applicable
to any individual Lycos Network Web site and to receive any required legal notices regarding our privacy practices through
the continuous posting of a clear and conspicuous link to the current version of this Privacy Policy throughout the Lycos
Network near the bottom of most pages. If you become an inactive user, we will adhere to the policies and practices as described
in this Privacy Policy, which may be revised from time to time. Please note that the Lycos Network contains links to other
sites and occasionally allows other sites to be co-branded with the Lycos name. Web sites that are linked to Lycos Network
sites or carry the Lycos brand for co-branding or marketing purposes may have privacy policies which differ from that of the
Lycos Network. The Lycos Network Privacy Policy discloses our privacy practices and contains detailed information about the
following: What information of yours does the Lycos Network collect? What organization is collecting the information? What
are "cookies" and "Web beacons" and how does Lycos use them? How does the Lycos Network use the information? With whom does
the Lycos Network share the information that is collected? How can you access or edit your information? What are the policies
concerning advertising on the Lycos Network? What is the opt-out policy for the Lycos Network? What are the Policies Concerning
Lycos Circles? What types of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information?
How does the Lycos Network comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)? What are the policies concerning
software downloads? What is Get Relevant? What you can do to better protect yourself on the Internet? 1. What information
of yours does the Lycos Network collect? Our goal is to become your favorite Internet destination by providing the information,
services, and product offerings that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, the Lycos Network must collect information
so we can understand what makes you different from its millions of other unique users. While you are not required to register
for any services on the Lycos Network, some Products and Services may not function properly or may not be accessible unless
you do. Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable. Lycos collects
anonymous information, which refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For example, Lycos collects
some information each time a visitor comes to a Lycos Network site so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor's
online experience. Lycos collects the visitor's IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from ibm.com or aol.com),
referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the last Web page visited by a user before clicking over to a Lycos Network site),
and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). Lycos also collects aggregate search terms
from its HotBot and Lycos search services for internal reporting targeted advertising, and the Lycos 50 list of popular search
terms. Lycos collects this user information for purposes of product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising.
In addition, Lycos collects your responses to online surveys displayed on the Lycos Network; these anonymous and optional
surveys will seek your opinions about the Products and Services or the advertisements displayed on the Lycos Network. You
do not have to register with the Lycos Network before we can collect this anonymous information. Personally identifiable information
refers to data that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name and postal address, which may be collected in addition
to the anonymous data described above. Lycos collects personal information in the following ways from different parts of its
network of Web sites: Lycos Network Registration: When you register to use one or more sites on the Lycos Network, you provide
Lycos with your name, postal address, ZIP Code, email address, birth date, gender, telephone number, occupation, marital status
and other information. While not all of this data is required for our services to function, we are better able to customize
your experience if you volunteer complete and accurate information. Users who complete the registration process are given
a Lycos Network ID and can take full advantage of the many offerings across the Lycos Network. Matchmaker.com Registration:
When you register to use Matchmaker.com, you provide Lycos with an email address, birth date, and ZIP Code. For members of
the majority of the Matchmaker.com communities, Lycos collects your credit card information in connection with your payment
for the service. If you complete the Matchmaker.com questionnaire, Lycos collects and posts all of your responses, plus the
ZIP Code you provide and any photos or images that you post. At the end of the registration process, you are asked whether
you are interested in receiving information about certain topics that may be of interest; Lycos collects your responses to
those questions. Occasionally, the "Matchmaker" of the community to which you belong may send a survey to the community; if
you answer the survey, Lycos collects your survey responses. Other Registration: In addition to registration for various services
on the Lycos Network, we may ask you for personal information at other times, including when you enter a sweepstakes, contest
or promotion sponsored by the Lycos Network. As described below, our co-brand partners also ask for personal information.
If you purchase premium services we will ask for a valid credit card number. If you choose not to provide the requested information,
the Lycos Network may not be able to offer you some of the personalized services that depend on this type of information to
function Correspondence: If you contact the Lycos Network, we may keep a record of that correspondence. We do not collect
any email addresses of those who communicate with the Lycos Network via email. We use the information provided so that we
may respond to the email. Lycos reserves the right to collect certain information and store it in connection with your account.
This information includes information about the different sites that you visit within the Lycos Network as well as the time
and frequency at which you visit them. This information also includes the content that you transmit or post on the Lycos Network.
For further information about Lycos's policy on maintaining transmitted or posted content, please see the Lycos Network Terms
and Conditions. 2. What organization is collecting the information? When you register for a service within the Lycos Network,
that information is generally collected and maintained solely by the Lycos Network unless specifically stated otherwise at
the point of collection. If data is collected and/or maintained by any company other than Lycos, we will tell you at the point
of collection. If you do not want to share your information with that company, you can choose not to use that service. Lycos
runs many promotions and sweepstakes across its Network. These promotions may be sponsored or co-sponsored by third-party
companies. Data collected during a promotion is typically shared with the sponsor or co-sponsor. Lycos will inform you at
the point of collection whether or not we are sharing your personal data as a result of your participation in a promotion
or sweepstakes. If you do not want to have the Lycos Network share your data, you can choose not to participate in the promotion
or sweepstakes. Be aware that Lycos Network sponsors and other advertisers have links on the Network that take you to external
sites. Some of these sites may collect personally identifiable information from you, and third-party advertising networks
for Lycos may use cookies and Web beacons in their advertisements to collect certain information from you. Please see Section
7 of this policy for more information about advertising on the Lycos Network. While Lycos hopes that all third parties involved
adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our users, the Lycos Network Privacy Policy does not cover third-party data
collection practices and the Lycos Network does not assume any responsibility for any actions of third parties. 3. What are
"cookies" and "Web beacons" and how does Lycos use them? In addition to the personally identifiable information that Lycos
actively collects when you register, we also collect anonymous information passively using cookies and Web beacons. This technology
plays an important role in making the Internet work, but there is much confusion among Internet users about what cookies and
Web beacons are and how they are used. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred
from a Web site to the hard drive of your computer so that the site administrator may identify your computer and passively
track its activities on the Web site. This unique number identifies your Web browser to our computer system whenever you visit
one of the sites in the Lycos Network. A cookie will not allow a Web site to learn any personally identifiable information
(such as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed. Cookies allow Lycos to automatically remember
your Web browser when you visit our Network of Web sites. To help serve you better, Lycos generally uses cookies to: Allow
us to deliver products and services more efficiently. By storing certain registration and preference information on cookies
or associating cookies with registration, preference or profile information stored on our computers, we can deliver products
and services that use such information more quickly and efficiently for more users. This information is normally saved in
an encrypted form that only Lycos can interpret. Prevent others from using your account. On some Lycos Network sites, cookies
help us efficiently determine that only one user is logged on under the same member name at a time. Measure statistics such
as audience size and traffic patterns. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your
personally identifiable information. Display advertisements. Cookies let us know whether a Web browser has seen a particular
advertisement (so we can show you a variety of material) and count the number of advertisements displayed to a particular
browser. We also use cookies to customize the advertising you see based on non-personally identifiable demographic information
that you provide when you register. Third-party advertising networks for Lycos may issue cookies on the Lycos Network and
other sites when serving advertisements. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and they are currently used on most major
Web sites. It is possible to adjust your Web browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or
to refuse cookies altogether. While Lycos does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain sites and services
will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse all cookies. Web beacons, also known as clear GIFs or single-pixel
GIFs, are small image files that Lycos may place on Web pages and within Web-based email newsletters that we send. Working
in conjunction with cookies, Web beacons allow Lycos to accurately count the number of unique users who have visited a specific
page on the Lycos Network and the number of times those pages are displayed. We can also use Web beacons to let us know how
many people opened a Web-based email newsletter. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked
to your personally identifiable information. Without cookies and Web beacons, it would be difficult for Lycos to know which
services have a larger audience than others. Tracking audience size helps us to better understand when to launch new services
and enhance the current offerings. Keep in mind that any image file on a Web page can act as a Web beacon. Third-party advertising
networks for Lycos may use Web beacons in their advertisements. Because Web beacons work in conjunction with cookies, you
can prevent our Web beacon from collecting anonymous information by setting your Web browser to refuse all cookies or the
Lycos Network cookie in particular. Web beacons are built into our Web pages, so non-functional Web beacons will continue
to appear even if you refuse the Lycos Network cookie. 4. How does the Lycos Network use the information it collects? Any
personally identifiable information you share with Lycos when registering for Products and Services at any of our Network
sites is maintained and accessible only by Lycos unless specifically stated otherwise. Lycos requests information from its
users so that users can enjoy customized experiences across the Lycos Network, including personalization services, interactive
communications, online games and much more. Most of these Products and Services are available to you at no cost, and Lycos
displays advertisements so we can continue to provide great content and services free of charge. We can also better prepare
future content based on your interests. The following are examples of how the Lycos Network may use the information it collects:
Lycos uses the information collected (both anonymous and personal) to personalize and enhance the content you see on the Lycos
Network, such as news, stock portfolios, weather reports, sports scores, horoscopes, advertisements and more. In some cases,
our Products and Services cannot work unless you have volunteered accurate information (for example, we need your valid ZIP
Code to display weather conditions in your local area). Lycos collects anonymous data and shares it with third-party advertisers
in an aggregate form. We will disclose to those advertisers the numbers of Lycos users who have certain demographic characteristics
and the number of those people who have seen and "clicked" on a particular display. We will also disclose to those advertisers
the overall demographics available regarding who saw and "clicked" on their advertisement. In addition, we may disclose anonymous
results from online surveys to third-party advertisers or to Lycos's product and service providers. No personally identifiable
information will be disclosed as part of this process. Lycos also uses the aggregate data to perform statistical analyses
of the collective characteristics and behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure user demographics and interests
regarding specific areas of the Lycos Network, and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. Without such data,
we would not know which parts of the Lycos Network are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the
content and services appropriately. Please note that we may share this aggregate information with third-party companies. Lycos
collects an aggregate list of search terms from its HotBot and Lycos search services. This information is collected anonymously
and used primarily for the purposes of product development, monitoring, and improvement, as well as targeted advertising.
Please note, however, that we may share this anonymous information with third-party companies. Lycos sometimes uses an individual
registered user's data to "pre-populate" online forms that are displayed for the purpose of collecting additional individual
data by the Lycos Network, selected third-party sites, and/or sponsors and advertisers. Lycos may, from time to time, use
your information to contact you about changes or enhancements to Products and Services on the Lycos Network, issues regarding
your account, or Lycos Network Terms and Conditions violations or suspensions. If you enter a sweepstakes or a contest on
the Lycos Network, we will use the information you provided to contact you in the event you win. If you told Lycos that you
were interested in receiving special offers from select Lycos clients, Lycos or third parties on Lycos's behalf (i) will send
you email and postal mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you, and (ii) may combine information
we have about you with information we obtain about you from third parties for the purpose of providing you with more appropriate
products, services, and offerings. If you do not wish to participate in this program, please follow the opt-out instructions
set forth in Section 8 of this policy. Subscription Customers: Your credit card information is used to collect your recurrent
subscription fees for Quote.com, Matchmaker.com, or other pay services. Lycos Family Membership Customers: Your credit card
information is used to verify the age of a parent or guardian. The credit card will not be charged during the Lycos Family
Membership registration process, and only the last 4 digits and a transaction number will be stored as proof of transaction.
Click here for more information. [updated] 5. With whom does the Lycos Network share the information that is collected? Whenever
you provide registration information on co-branded or private label sites, that data may be shared with the third-party company
providing the service. You should make every effort to read the individual privacy policies of such third parties and make
an informed decision on your own whether to continue based upon these sites' privacy practices and your own discretion. You
may opt-out of sharing your information with such providers by choosing not to use that service or content. When you find
goods or services through Lycos Shopping, you submit data directly to the individual merchants from whom you order goods or
services. Please review carefully the privacy policies of particular merchants that you access through Lycos Shopping. In
addition to finding co-branded and private label sites, you will find direct links on our site to sites offered by third parties.
Some of these sites are authorized to use the Lycos Network brands and/or logos. No third-party sites are covered by this
Privacy Policy. If you feel that a site using a Lycos Network brand and/or logo does not follow an acceptable privacy policy,
please contact the Lycos Privacy Site Coordinator by email at privacy@lycos.com. Lycos may disclose information about individual
users to third parties who agree to provide services to Lycos and who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information
in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These third parties will provide a variety of services to Lycos, including, without
limitation, processing and storing user information, helping to create new content and promotions for the Lycos Network, and
sending or coordinating the sending of marketing communications that users have consented to receive. Lycos will disclose
information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals
or entities in response to subpoena, court order, or other legal process. In matters involving a danger to personal or public
safety, Lycos may voluntarily provide information to appropriate governmental authorities. If you elect to receive Lycos Registration
Offers during registration for the Lycos Network, Lycos will release personally identifiable information to the applicable
sponsor or advertiser. Information released may include name, email address, postal address and other information supplied
in the Lycos Network registration process. Please note that the sponsor or advertiser will not be bound by this Lycos Network
Privacy Policy. If Lycos is acquired by or merged with another company, Lycos may transfer personally-identifiable information
about you to that company. Lycos will notify you in the event that your personally-identifiable information is transferred
under these circumstances and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. Matchmaker.com Customers: Lycos creates your
public profile by using your answers to the Matchmaker.com questionnaire and your ZIP Code, along with any photos or images
you post. Users will have the ability to search and view the public profiles. Lycos Domains Customers: Users of Lycos Domains
will be required to designate an administrative contact and, in some instances, a technical contact for the domain names they
register. Lycos will assume that the Lycos member who registers for the Lycos Domains service will serve as these contacts,
although users will have the ability to designate other contacts. Lycos will disclose the name, address, phone number, fax
number, and email address of the administrative and technical contacts to Lycos's domain name provider, which in turn will
make such information publicly available through an online WHOIS database. 6. How can you access or edit your information?
The Lycos Network provides its registered users the ability to access and edit the personal information in their user profiles.
For most membership sites on the Lycos Network (My Lycos, Lycos Mail, Gamesville, htmlGEAR, Tripod, Angelfire, Raging Bull

to log in to the Network with your Lycos Network Member Name and password. After you log in, you will be taken to the Membership

button. Make the necessary changes and click the Update button to save your changes. For some other sites on the Lycos Network,
you will have to follow different steps to update the personal information in your user profile: Matchmaker.com at http://www.matchmaker.com:
After you log in, click on the "Member Tools" link at the bottom of any community page, select "Edit Page", and select the
information you would like to update or revise. Edit your responses to any community survey by clicking on the "Member Tools"
link, selecting "Edit Page", and selecting "Review/edit the Survey Question/s." To make an adjustment to your username, or
your selection for gender or sexual preference, click on the "Feedback" button and complete the form. 7. What are the policies
concerning advertising on the Lycos Network? Lycos is an affiliate of the 24/7 Web Alliance operated by 24/7 Real Media, Inc.
("24/7 Real Media"). As an affiliate of the 24/7 Web Alliance, Lycos has agreed to allow 24/7 Real Media to serve Internet
advertisements to users of the Lycos Network. 24/7 Real Media uses ad delivery and management software, which utilizes cookies
and web beacon technologies, to improve the effectiveness of Internet advertisements and to improve the relevance of advertisements
to Internet users. In doing so, 24/7 Real Media uses only anonymous information about your visits to the Lycos Network to
provide advertisements to you about goods and services that may be relevant to you. 24/7 Real Media also may use anonymous
information about your visits to the Lycos Network to help deliver relevant advertising to you when you visit other sites
in the 24/7 Web Alliance. If you would like to know more about the information gathering practices and procedures of 24/7
Real Media, please click here: www.247realmedia.com/privacy. 8. What is the opt-out policy for the Lycos Network? You can
opt out of sharing your personally identifiable information with any third-party service or content providers in any areas
of the Lycos Network by choosing not to use such areas. In addition, you may opt-opt of sharing your personally identifiable
information with third-party service providers and sponsors by clearing the appropriate checkboxes at the point of initial
collection. You will see these checkboxes near the bottom of the registration page. After the point of initial collection,
we offer you the ability to opt-out of receiving updates and information about new Lycos products and services, as well as
direct mail offers from selected service providers and sponsors. The instructions to opt out of most Lycos Network email newsletters
and direct mail communications are the same as the instructions for editing user information profiles. Simply follow these
steps: Go directly to this page. You will receive a prompt to log in to the Network with your Lycos Network Member Name and
password. After you log in, you will be taken to the Membership Information page, which contains your email subscriptions.
Click the Edit button under the Email Subscriptions banner. Make the necessary changes and click the Update button to save
your changes. In addition, all Lycos Network newsletters and direct email communications have easy-to-follow unsubscribe instructions
at the bottom of each email. If you are receiving email newsletters from Matchmaker.com, follow the unsubscribe instructions
found at the bottom of each email communication. If you are receiving email newsletters from Wired Digital, Lycos Music, Lycos
Computers or Sonique, follow the unsubscribe instructions found at the bottom of each email communication or go directly to
this Web page: http://hotwired.lycos.com/email/unsub. If you want to prevent 24/7 Real Media from setting and/or reading cookies
on your computer, you may opt out at 24/7 Real Media's Web site at: www.247realmedia.com/privacy. You may also visit the Network
Advertising Initiative gateway opt-out site to opt out of certain advertising cookies. [New] To remove your listing from Lycos
White Pages, please send a request to Lycos Customer Service via the feedback form here. Please provide the exact name, address
and telephone number of the listing you wish to be removed. Lycos obtains listing information from Axciom. To remove your
listing from the Acxiom database, and to help prevent your listing from reappearing in Lycos White Pages, please contact Acxiom
directly and request removal of your information. If you have a question about the Lycos opt-out process that is not answered
here, please send an email to privacy@lycos.com. [NEW] 9. What are the Policies Concerning Lycos Circles? a. Registration
Information. When you register to use Circles, you provide Lycos with an email address, name, and date of birth ("Circles
Registration Information"). This information will be displayed next to your postings on Circles in accordance with the settings
on your profile page. Initially, your profile page will have certain default settings. Unless you make the appropriate changes,
certain of the Circles Registration Information will be displayed adjacent to your Lycos Circles postings, and certain of
the Circles Registration Information will not. You may adjust the settings on your profile page at any time by clicking here.
If you wish to edit your Circles Registration Information, please click here. b. Posted Information. Any information that
you post to a Circles page and any adjacent Circles Registration Information (collectively the "Posted Information") will
be made available to the members of the Circle of which you are a member. Posted Information will also be made available to
users who have been invited to join a Circle but who have not yet joined. Please follow the directions here to remove any
of your postings. 10. What kinds of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of
your information? The Lycos Network has security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration
of your user data under our control. Lycos uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any personally
identifiable data stored on its computers. Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide us. Any particularly
sensitive information, such as a credit card number used to purchase premium services from Quote.com or Matchmaker.com, is
encrypted prior to transmission. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we take
many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. You are ultimately responsible for the security of your Lycos Network
ID and password. Please take care when using and storing them. Lycos recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone.
You should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information
and correspondence, especially if several people have access to your personal computer or you are using a computer in a public
place like a library or Internet cafe. 11. How does the Lycos Network comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act (COPPA)? The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 provides safeguards to protect children who use
the Internet by regulating the online collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. Because of these
safeguards, children under 13 are not able to access or use all Products and Services on the Lycos Network. Parents of children
under 13 can authorize their children to use some of our services by signing up for a Lycos Family Membership. Parents can
learn more about the Lycos Family Membership and obtain detailed answers about our compliance with COPPA by clicking here.
12. What are the policies concerning software downloads? Lycos may make certain software available for download. This software
may be created by Lycos or by third party licensors. The software may be programmed to access our servers and/or third party
servers in order for the software to operate and in order to check for program upgrades or enhancements. From time to time,
new files may be added to your computer in order to upgrade the software or add new functionality to it. These changes may
occur without notice to you. If at any time you wish to uninstall the software program, you may do so by following the instructions
that accompany the software. Use of the software will be governed by a separate license agreement. 13. What is Get Relevant?
Get Relevant is a service offered by Lycos to connect users with advertisers that may be of interest to them. Here is how
it works: Lycos receives advertisements from various advertisers and distributes them to participating third-party Web sites.
A user of a participating Web site will see the advertisement during the process of registering for that site. If the user
opts in to receive information from the advertiser, the registration information that the user supplied to the participating
Web site will be conveyed to Lycos, which will in turn distribute it to the relevant advertiser. Prior to disclosing the information
to the advertiser, Lycos will send a confirming email to the user and give the user an opportunity to opt out from receiving
email from the advertiser. The particpating Web site and the advertiser will act in accordance with their own privacy policies
and practices and not those of the Lycos Network. At any time, a user may access and update the personal information on file
with GetRelevant by visiting the URL http://o3.getrelevant.com/pUpdate and following the instructions found there. 14. What
you can do to better protect yourself on the Internet? Know the risks. Meeting new people in an online community (chat room,
forum, newsgroup, message board, Web page, etc.) is one of the best things about the Internet, but you should always be careful
about disclosing personal information such as an actual name, member name, email address, and so on. This information may
be collected and used by others within the online community to send unsolicited email messages from other parties, outside
the Lycos Network. Some of the messages you receive may be useful to you, but some may not. In an effort to curtail unsolicited
email, Lycos blocks certain email addresses and domains from sending messages to email addresses at our domains. Educate yourself.
Search the Web for as much information as you can about how to protect your privacy. Look for a privacy policy on the Web
sites you visit. A good place to start is TRUSTe -- an independent, non-profit organization with a mission to build trust
and confidence in the Internet. The Federal Trade Commission has a great Web site with useful information on being a Savvy
Internet Traveler along with other privacy initiatives. Additional privacy resources can be found at by clicking on any of
the following links Department of Education: Parents Guide to the Internet http://www.ed.gov/pubs/parents /internet/ Better

Network Advertising Initiative http://www.networkadvertising.org/ Online Privacy Alliance http://www.privacyalliance.org/
The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse http://www.privacyrights.org/ Tell your children: "Never talk to strangers!" While Lycos
works hard to protect children on the sites within the Lycos Network, we cannot protect their privacy once they leave. Please
teach children that they should not reveal their names or other personal information to anyone they encounter on the Internet.
They should also be instructed not to fill out any forms or register at any Web site without your knowledge and consent. Parents
can also prevent or limit a child's access to inappropriate material on the Web by using commercially available parental control
protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services). Take advantage of the online resources for parents
available on the Lycos Network, such as SearchGuard and GetNetWise. Use PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) http://www.pgp.com or another
encryption program. Contact Us Questions regarding this statement should be directed to: Lycos Privacy Site Coordinator Lycos,
Inc. 100 5th Ave Waltham MA 02451 (781) 370-2700 (781) 370-2886 (Fax) privacy@lycos.com If you do not receive acknowledgment
of your inquiry or your inquiry has not been satisfactorily addressed, you should then contact TRUSTe, who will serve as a
liaison with the Lycos Network to resolve your concerns. Updates The Lycos Network will update this policy from time to time
so please check back periodically. When such changes occur, you will see the word "Updated" next to the Privacy Policy link
on the front page of each site on the Lycos Network. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information
in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will prominently post such changes prior to implementing
them. Last updated October 6, 2004.
