PRIVACY
This site is owned
and operated by Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid Research. Your privacy on
the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Weightrepo.com /
Blue Orchid Research, we want to make your experience online satisfying

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel
you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions

statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid Research GATHERS AND TRACKS

about users:
* Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic
newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a
friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
* Information Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid Research gathers through
aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views
throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our
content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors
better understand the demographics of our audience. Because
Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid Research derives its revenue mainly from
sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated demographic
data is essential to keeping our service free to users. Under no
circumstances does Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid Research divulge any
information about an individual user to a third party.

Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We may offer the following free services, which require some type of
voluntary submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Weightrepo.com /
Blue Orchid Research gathers the email addresses of users who
voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing
list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points
users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to
the newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums policy
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately
for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages,
although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration
the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or
documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The
user must provide their email address, as well as that of the
recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email.
The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their
opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about
important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated
and are not identifiable to any particular user. Weightrepo.com / Blue
Orchid Research may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted,
so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not
correlated with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid Research may occasionally conduct user
surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes
share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our
sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this
information about specific individuals with any third party.

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental
consent.
Usage tracking
Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid Research tracks user traffic patterns
throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this
information with data about individual users. Weightrepo.com / Blue
Orchid Research does break down overall usage statistics according to a
user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this
information from the browser string (information contained in every
user's browser).
Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid Research sometimes tracks and catalogs the
search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking
is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read,
but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue
to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to
information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the
only personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. Weightrepo.com / Blue Orchid
Research uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described
above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better

to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in
order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to

particular user enters.

demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and
partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively,
and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to
their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual
users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user
clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about any
individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
