review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you
provide any personal information or complete any transaction with such parties.

information we may track include:
- Your Internet protocol
address.
- The kind of browser or
computer you use.
- Number of links you click
within the site.

b. Use of Cookies
The Locker Room may use cookies to personalize or enhance
your user experience. A cookie is a
small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web
Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example,
if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the
site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of
delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving
your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized
functionality..
The Locker Room reserves the right to share aggregated site
statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place
cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value
(such as merging into The Locker Room.com a site that relies on third-party
cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If
you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may
disable some of the functionality on our Website.
- Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase
services. When you register, we will
request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone
number or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we will
request financial information. Any
financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you
purchased. If you purchase by credit
card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other
types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also
be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide
assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in
order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we
collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent
necessary including:
§
To
fulfill your service requests for services.
§
To
protect ourselves from liability,

4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
The Locker Room / www.buynorthwesterngear.com Web
pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also
called single-pixel gifs – that allow The Locker Room to count users who have
visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. The Locker Room may include Web beacons in
promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party
service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications. These
Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie
on your computer. This allows the
service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages
or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views,
which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. The Locker Room prohibits Web beacons from
being used to collect or access your personal information.
5. Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally
identifiable information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this information by contacting
us by sending an email to our support attendant at sales@buynorthwestern.com

personal information we collect. Your
continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy
statement and any updates.
