What personal information About Customers Does FundUsNow.com Gather?
Automatic Information: 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 FundUsNow.com.
Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your
computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our
systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such
as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you
how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to
have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or
how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can
disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such
as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting
the Web site of its manufacturer. However, because cookies
allow you to take advantage of some of FundUsNow.com's
essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on.
For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies,
you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart,
proceed to Checkout.
Sharing Information
Information about our customers is an important part of our
business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others.
We share customer information only as described below.
Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and
individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending
postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information
from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing
assistance, providing search results and links, processing
credit card payments, and providing customer service.
They have access to personal information needed to perform
their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business,
we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units.
In such transactions, customer information generally is one
of the transferred business assets but remains subject to
the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice
(unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise).
Also, in the unlikely event that FundUsNow.Com, or
substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer
information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of FundUsNow.com and Others: We release account
and other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our
Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the
rights, property, or safety of FundUsNow.com, our users,
or others. This includes exchanging information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit
risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include
selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally
identifiable information from customers for commercial
purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this
Privacy Notice.
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will
receive notice when information about you might go to
third parties, and you will have an opportunity to
choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect the security of your information during
transmission by using software, which encrypts information
you input.
We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card
numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit
the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit
card company during order processing.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized
access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to
sign off when finished using a shared computer.
Which Information Can I Access?
FundUsNow.com gives you access to a broad range of information
about your account and your interactions with
FundUsNow.com for the limited purpose of viewing and,
in certain cases, updating that information.
What Choices Do I Have
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide
information, even though it might be needed to make a
purchase or to take advantage of such FundUsNow.com
features.
You can add or update certain information on pages.
When you update information, we usually keep a copy of
the prior version for our records.
If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us,
please adjust your Account Preferences.
(If you do not want to receive Conditions of Use and other
legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those
notices will still govern your use of FundUsNow.com,
and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.)
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell
you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies,
how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new
cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally,
you can disable or delete similar data used by browser
add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's
settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer.
However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of
some of FundUsNow.com's essential features, we recommend
that you leave them turned on.
Are Children Allowed to Use FundUsNow.com?
We do not sell children's products nor do we collect
personal information from children. Therefore, if you

with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

resolution of disputes, and application of the law of
the Commonwealth of Virginia. If you have any concern

a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.
Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice
and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail
periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless
you have instructed us not to, but you should check our
Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated
otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all
information that we have about you and your account.
We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will
never materially change our policies and practices to make

Identifying Phishing or Spoofed E-mails
From time to time, you might receive e-mails that look
like they come from FundUsNow.com, but they are, in fact,
falsified. Often these e-mails direct you to a Web site
that looks similar to the FundUsNow.com Web site, where
you might be asked to provide account information such
as your e-mail address and password combination.
Unfortunately, these false Web sites can steal your
sensitive information; later, this information may be
used to commit fraud. Some phishing messages contain
potential viruses or malware that can detect passwords
or sensitive data. We recommend that you install an
anti-virus program and keep it updated at all times.
Below are some key points to look for in order to identify these
e-mails:
1. Know what FundUsNow.com won't ask for
FundUsNow.com will never ask you for the following
information in an e-mail communication:
-
Your social security number or tax identification number
-
Your credit card number, PIN number, or credit card
security code (including "updates" to any of the above)
-
Your mother's maiden name
-
Your FundUsNow.com password
2. Requests to verify or confirm your account information
FundUsNow.com will not ask you to verify or confirm your
FundUsNow.com account information by clicking on a link from
an e-mail.
3. Attachments on suspicious e-mails
We recommend that you do not open any e-mail attachments
from suspicious
or unknown sources. E-mail attachments can contain viruses
that may infect your computer when the attachment is opened
or accessed. If you receive a suspicious e-mail purportedly
sent from FundUsNow.com that contains an attachment, we
recommend that you delete it and do not open the attachment.
4. Grammatical or typographical errors
Be on the lookout for poor grammar or typographical errors.
Some phishing e-mails are translated from other languages
or are sent without being proofread, and as a result,
contain bad grammar or typographical errors.
5. Check the return address.
Is the e-mail from FundUsNow.com? While phishers often send forged
e-mail to make it look like it came from FundUsNow.com,
you can sometimes determine whether or not it's
authentic by checking the return address. If the
"from" line of the e-mail looks like
"FundUsNow-security@yahoo.com " or
"FundUsNow-fraud@msn.com" or contains the name of
another Internet service provider, you can be sure it
is a fraudulent e-mail.
6. Check the Web site address.
Genuine FundUsNow.com web sites are always hosted on
the "FundUsNow.Com" domain--"http://www.FundUsNow.com".
Sometimes the link included in spoofed e-mails looks
like a genuine FundUsNow.com address. You can check
where it actually points to by hovering your mouse
over the link--the actual Web site where it points to
will be shown in the status bar at the bottom of your
browser window or as a pop-up.
We never use a web address such as Error! Hyperlink
reference not valid. or an IP address (string of numbers)
followed by directories such as
http://123.456.789.123/FundUsNow.com/. . ..
Alternately, sometimes the spoofed e-mail is set
up such that if you click anywhere on the text you
are taken to the fraudulent Web site. FundUsNow.com
will never send an e-mail that does this. If you
accidentally click on such an e-mail and go to a
spoofed Web site, do not enter any information and
just close that browser window.
7. If an e-mail looks suspicious, go directly to the
FundUsNow.com Web site. When in doubt, do not click the
link included in an e-mail. Just go directly to
www.FundUsNow.com and click "Your Account" in the
top right menu to view recent purchases, or review
your account information. If you cannot access your
account, or if you see anything suspicious, let us know right away.
8. Do not "unsubscribe"
Never follow any instructions contained in a forged
e-mail that claim to provide a method for "unsubscribing."
Many spammers use these "unsubscribe" processes to create
a list of valid, working e-mail addresses.
9. Protect your account information
If you did click through from a spoofed or suspicious
e-mail and you entered your FundUsNow.com account
information you should immediately update your
FundUsNow.com password. You can do this through
Your Account by choosing the option to "Change
your name, e-mail address, or password".
Please be assured that if someone has been able to
look at your account, they are not able to see your full
credit card information. However, orders can be sent
from your account using your credit card so please
contact us immediately if you notice any orders that
you do not recognize.
However, if you did submit your credit card number
to the site linked to from the forged e-mail message,
we advise that take steps to protect your information.
You may wish to contact your credit card company, for
example, to notify them of this matter. Finally, you
should delete that credit card from your FundUsNow.com
account to prevent anyone from improperly regaining
access to your account. To do so, click "Edit or
delete a credit card" under Payment Settings.
How To Report Phishing E-mails or Request Account Assistance
If you have received an e-mail you know is a forgery,
or if you think you have been a victim of a phishing
attack and you are concerned about your FundUsNow.Com
account, please let us know right away: go to
www.fundusnow.com and click the contact us button.
