Accordingly, we have posted this Privacy Policy in order to explain our practices and the choices you have with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of any information collected during your visit to (this "Site"). This Privacy Policy covers only information collected at this Site, and does not cover any information collected offline or at any other Web site. This Privacy Policy also does not cover information in those areas of this Site where it is specified that your information will be provided to another party acting on our behalf or at our direction. When providing information to third parties, please visit the privacy policy provided by such party.

However, we may ask that you provide information, including personally identifiable information, at various times and locations on this Site, including the "Premium Area". For example, if you would like to receive our newsletters, download our wallpapers or send our e-cards, we will ask you to provide your e-mail address and language preference. We may collect and process information that you provide by filling in forms on our site. This may include your name, mailing address and e-mail address.

Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information

When you provide us with your personally identifiable information, we may use such information to notify you of initiatives, promotions, products, special events, and other information that may be of interest to our customers. We also use your personally identifiable information to manage our list of submitted email addresses and communicate with you about our products. We may also share your personally identifiable information with our affiliates who may use your information for similar purposes.

You have the right to ask us not to process your personally identifiable information for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your information) if we intend to use your information for such purposes or if we intend to disclose such information to any third party for such purposes. You may exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You may also exercise this right at any time by contacting us at customerservice@sw.it. You also have the right to access personally identifiable information held about you.

We will not share, distribute, or sell your personal information to unrelated third parties, except under the following circumstances:

• Fulfillment of Services. We may retain other companies and individuals to perform functions consistent with our Privacy Policy on our behalf. Examples include customer support specialists, Web hosting companies, fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that coordinate mailings), data analysis firms and email service providers. Such third parties may be provided with access to personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions, but may not use such information for any other purpose.
