any linked website outside its ownership.
Currently, Harlequin Hire Guernsey uses personal information as a basis for
notifications to users, "opt-in" emails, and in order to implement the terms
of the Terms of Service governing the website (the "TOS"). User names and
email addresses (as well as any additional information that a user may
choose to post) are publicly available on the Harlequin Hire Guernsey site, unless a
user elects to "opt-out" of such display of personal information. However,
in cases where users voluntarily and publicly disclose personal information
which may contain Registration Data, or otherwise post personal information
in conjunction with content subject to an open source license, such personal
information necessarily will be disclosed subject to the terms of the
applicable license.
Subject to the foregoing, Harlequin Hire Guernsey may conduct surveys of other
studies of its customer base and usage for marketing and planning purposes.
With respect to information collected from such surveys or studies, and in
the event that responses are to be publicly disclosed, users will be
notified at the time they take the survey and Harlequin Hire Guernsey will disclose
only aggregate information regarding its users and not personal information
identifying any specific individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases
where surveys allow users to submit written comments, and where Harlequin Hire Guernsey advises users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they
take the survey, Harlequin Hire Guernsey reserves the right to disclose text
information provided by any user through such a survey, provided that no
personal information identifying that user is disclosed.

information. A "cookie" is an element of data which a Service or site, when
visited by a user, sends to that user's browser which, in turn, may store
that element on the user's hard drive or memory. Harlequin Hire Guernsey uses
cookies to better serve users who use our Services. However, at his or her
option and at his or her sole expense and responsibility, any user may block
or delete our cookies from his or her hard drive. However, by disabling

"Opt-in" Emails:
Users may "opt-in" to receive site notifications, newsletters or other

user's discretion and may be changed at any time by the user.
Email Display:
In some cases, users may have the opportunity to use an Harlequin Hire Guernsey
service to send electronic mail to another user or email list. In such
cases, a user's valid email address and real name will be included with such
