to believe that such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be infringing or threatening to infringe, or who
may otherwise be causing injury to or interference with, the title, rights,

other web site users or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities.

with us, then we reserve the right to make public or otherwise disclose such
User's Collected Information in order to pursue our claim or prevent further
injury to KOBI A.S.or others.
Co-Branded Relationships
We have established
relationships with other parties to offer you the benefit of other products and
services which we ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to these other
parties either through the use of hyperlinks to their sites from our Site, or
through offering "co-branded" sites in which both ourselves and these other
parties share the same uniform resource locator, domain name or pages within a
domain name on the Internet. In some cases you may be required to submit
information for purposes of registering or applying for products or services
provided by such third parties or co-branded partners. The privacy policy of
such other parties may differ from ours, and we may not have any control over
the information that you submit to such third parties or co-branded sites. We
therefore encourage you to read that policy before responding to any offers,
products or services provided by such other parties.
Cookies
We use "cookies" to store
specific information about you and track your visits to our Site. It is not
uncommon for websites to use cookies to enhance identification of their users. A
"cookie" is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and stored on
your computer's hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your computer's hard drive
only if you access our Site using the computer. If you do not de-activate or
erase the cookie, each time you use the same computer to access our Site, our
web servers will be notified of your visit to our Site and in turn we may have
knowledge of your visit and the pattern of your usage. Generally, we use cookies
to identify you and enable us to access your Registration Information,
Publishing Information or Payment Information so you do not have to re-enter it;
gather statistical information about usage by Users; research visiting patters
and help target advertisements based on User interests; assist our partners to
track User visits to the Site and process orders; and track progress and
participation in promotions.
You can determine if and how
a cookie will be accepted by configuring your browser's which is installed in
the computer you are using to access the Site. If you desire, you can change
those configurations in your browser. By setting your preferences in the
browser, you can accept all cookies, you can be notified when a cookie is sent,
or you can reject all cookies. If you reject all cookies by choosing the
cookie-disabling function in your browser, you may be required to re-enter your
information on our Site more often and certain features of our Site may be
unavailable.
Minors
The Site and its contents are
not intended to be targeted to minors under applicable law and we do not intend
to sell any of our products or services to minors. However, we have no way of
distinguishing the age of individuals who access our Site and so we carry out
the same Privacy Policy for individuals of all ages. If a minor has provided us
with personal information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or
guardian should contact us to remove the information.
Security Measures
We employ commercially
reasonable security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data
accuracy and ensure correct use of information.
As a Registered User, your
Registration Information and Publishing Information can be viewed and edited
through your Account which is protected by Password. We recommend that you do
not divulge your Password to anyone. Our personnel will never ask you for your
Password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. If you share
a computer with others, you should not choose to save your log-in information
(e.g., User ID and Password) on the computer. Remember to sign out of your
Account and close your browser window when you have finished your session.
No data transmission over the
Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured. As a
result, while we try to protect your information, no web site or company,
including ourselves, can absolutely ensure or guarantee the security of any
information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Changes to Privacy Policy
Any changes to this Privacy
Policy will be communicated through our posting an amended and restated Privacy
Policy on our Site. Our posting the amended and restated Privacy Policy will

effective) will be governed by the newest Privacy Policy then in effect. If you
do not agree to the new changes in our Privacy Policy, you should contact
