subscription, newsletter and update services ("Services"), to subscribers via email and on numerous websites throughout
the World Wide Web (the "Sites"). ke is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information, and
providing a safe and secure environment for its subscribers. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY (THE "POLICY") IS TO HELP

| How We Use the Information That We Gather |
ke uses certain technologies, such as "cookies", to personalize and improve your online experience. |
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive. Cookies
store information about your visit to the Sites or your use of the Services, thereby allowing you to access certain ke’s
features not otherwise available. The information in the cookie is transmitted from your computer to ke or to one of our
third-party authorized service contractors. The information contained in these cookies makes it possible for our systems
to know if you are presently logged onto a Site or using any of the Services, or whether you have done so in a prior visit.
This technology enables ke to instantly determine your access privileges while allowing you to navigate the Sites or use
any of the Services without having to repeatedly log in. |
- Cookies from ke and/or one of our authorized service contractors are also used to collect standard
information transmitted from your web browser including, without limitation: your Internet address, browser type, web pages
you visited with date and time, purchases you made on any of the Sites and the type of operating system on your computer.
This information is used to help us understand and meet the ever-changing needs and interests of our subscribers. |
- ke may also use cookies to track your access to, and use of the message boards, forums and chat
rooms on the Sites, as well as your responses to any of our online surveys. |
- You always have the option of setting your browser to warn you when a cookie is being accessed
on your computer or to decline cookies altogether. However, to take full advantage of the Sites, Services and features
offered by ke, we recommend that you set your browser to accept cookies. Setting your computer to accept or refuse cookies
varies depending on the web browser you are running. Please check the help tab of your browser for specifics on your software. |
- ke does not control any cookies you may receive from an advertiser and these are not subject to this Policy. |
- ke also uses web beacon technology to help track site usage. Web beacons (also called single pixel
gifs or action tags) allow ke to track page viewing counts and patterns which we use to focus and tailor future content
development, measure the effectiveness of ke’s own marketing campaigns and assist with broadband capacity management for the Sites. |
- ke also employs web beacons within the context of certain e-mails in order to determine the
effectiveness and appeal of those mailings. These web beacons 'sense' and notify ke if and when you open the e-mail, if
your e-mail program is capable of displaying HTML messages, and where you may navigate within these HTML messages. |
In addition to the foregoing, ke uses the information obtained from its subscribers and users in
order to enhance and customize their online experiences. Due to the existing regulatory environment, ke cannot ensure that
all of your personally identifiable information and communications will remain private and will never be disclosed in ways
not otherwise described in this Policy. Therefore, although we maintain and make every effort to comply with industry privacy
standards, we do not promise, nor should you expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications
will always remain private. As a matter of policy and unless otherwise stated herein, ke does not rent, sell, or share your
personally identifiable information with other people or non-affiliated companies. However, ke reserves the right to use your
personally identifiable information to notify you of certain products or Services about which you previously inquired or
requested, special promotional offers, and to investigate violations of the terms and provisions of this Policy or the Terms
of Use. In addition, ke aggregates (gathers and organizes data across all subscriber and user accounts) personally identifiable
information from among its subscriber and user base and discloses only that portion of the information which is non-personally
identifiable to advertisers and other third parties for marketing, promotional and other commercial purposes. For example,
your name, email address, password, credit card number and bank account number will never to be disclosed without your express
prior written consent. |

| Co-branded and Other Affiliated Sites |
As stated above, certain information or Services offered or provided through the Sites may, from
time to time, be provided on or through other websites operated by or in conjunction with third party providers ("Partners").
These websites and the features thereon may have the same "look and feel" as ke's Sites and/or Services. ke terms these websites
"co-branded sites", and often times a Partner's logo or name may appear on the website, or the Partner's name may appear in
the URL. Although ke will continue to own any personally identifiable information collected about you from one of these
co-branded sites, such information may be shared by ke with that Partner. However, a Partner will not rent, sell, or disclose
any of your personally identifiable information to third parties unless you consent to such disclosures and use in advance
(for example, you may be asked to opt-in on a particular co-branded site in order to receive information or offers from a
Partner, its affiliates or agents). |

| Third Party Links |
ke does not monitor, control or endorse the information collection or privacy practices of any
third parties including, without limitation, any co-branded, Partner or affiliated sites which may or may not be owned
or operated by or in conjunction with ke or other third parties who may provide services throughout the Sites. Please be
aware that the Sites may contain links to other websites on the Internet and the Services may be provided by such third
parties ke assumes no liability or responsibility for the information collection and privacy practices of such third party.
Please consult each website's privacy policy. In addition, ke is not responsible for the content or data collection
practices of any third party websites, including a third party's use of cookies or other data-collection applications.
Even though certain information collected by such third parties might not identify you personally, we strongly encourage
you to become familiar with their privacy practices, and to contact them if you have any questions about their respective
privacy policies and practices. On behalf of various sponsors, the Sites may provide sponsored links to third-party websites
or resources ("Linked Sites"). ke neither controls nor have we reviewed or approved the content that appears on such Linked
Sites. You acknowledge and agree that ke is not responsible for the legality, accuracy or inappropriate nature of any
content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from such Linked Sites. You further acknowledge and
agree that ke shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be

such Linked Site. |

| Correction/Updating Personal Information |
If your personally identifiable information changes (such as your address, zip code), or if you
no longer desire to use or access one of the Sites or Services, ke encourages you to correct, update or remove the personal
information that you provided. This can be done at the "Login" page on each of the Sites. Keep in mind, however, that even
