Elixir Technologies Corporation ("Elixir") has adopted the
following privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") in order to allow
the user (the "User") of various Elixir Internet portals and
Internet related services (the "Services") to make an informed
decision on whether to provide Elixir with the personal data
that may be requested of such User or that Elixir may obtain as
a result of the use of its Services.

Elixir automatically tracks and collects the following
information when the User accesses the web sites and pages of the
Services, including the User's: (i) IP address; (ii) domain server;
(iii) type of computer; and (iv) type of web browser (collectively
"Traffic Data"). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not
personally identify a User but is helpful for marketing purposes or
for improving the User's experience with the Services. Elixir
may use cookies when a User browses the web sites and pages of the
Services. Elixir's cookies only identify an anonymous User and
his/her computer and do not provide information that permits the
inference of the name and surname of the actual User. The cookies
make it possible for Elixir to immediately recognize a
registered User without having to re-register that User on every
visit to an area that requires registration. The Elixir cookies
cannot read data from the hard disk or cookie files created by
others. Elixir encrypts the User's identifying data for
increased security. The User has the option of configuring his/her
browser to warn of the receipt of cookies and prevent their
installation into his/her hard disk. The User should refer to the
instructions and manuals of its browser for further information
regarding cookies. Obstructing the installation of a Elixir
cookie will not prevent the use of the Services, however, the User
will have to register each time he/she accesses a service requiring
prior registration.
(b) Personal Information Collected.
In order for the User to access the Services and to purchase
products that Elixir may offer via the Services, Elixir
requires the User to provide it with information that personally
identifies the User ("Personal Information"). Personal Information
may include: (i) Contact Data (such as the User's name, mailing and
e-mail addresses); (ii) Financial Data (such as the User's account
or credit card number); and (iii) Demographic Data (such as the
User's zip code, age and income). If the User communicates with
Elixir by e-mail, posts messages to any of Elixir's chat
groups, bulletin boards or forums, or otherwise completes online
forms, surveys or contest entries, any information provided in such
communication may be collected as Personal Information.
