What Information is Collected and Stored?

disclosure of information. VI urges you to exercise caution when
disclosing information on public message boards or discussion

VI may ask Customers, Members and Subscribers for personal

subscribe to a newsletter or respond to a survey. VI will only use
individual information internally. This information enables VI to
contact Customers, Members and Subscribers and provide information

Subscribers enter through this Website or otherwise. For example,
when a Customer opens an account or places an order, VI collects and

address, shipping address, email address, telephone number, credit
card number and expiration date. This information is used to provide
the Customer with the products and services ordered or requested, to
process and ship orders, to send order and shipping confirmations
and to provide Customer service. In order to process, ship and track
product orders, VI makes Customer name and address information
available to credit card processors, common carriers and courier
services. Information VI collects also may be used by VI to contact
Customers, Members and Subscribers about products, promotions,
upcoming events, special offers and new Website features. VI

Information from Children
This Website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We
will not knowingly collect information from Website Visitors in this
age group. If VI learns that a child under the age of 13 has
submitted personally identifiable information online, in
contravention of these measures, it will take all reasonable
measures to delete such information from its databases and to not
use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to
protect the safety of the child or others or as required by law).
How and With Whom VI Shares Your Information
VI will not sell, rent or license your personal information to third
parties other than to its business partners as set forth herein.
However, VI may from time to time aggregate statistical information
regarding our Visitors, traffic patterns and Website usage, or sell
our research, which may contain aggregate information. Such
aggregate information will not individually identify any user.
VI reserves the right to disclose any information if such
action is necessary (a) to conform to the requirements of the law or
to comply with legal process or subpoena served on VI, (b) to
protect and defend the legal rights or property of VI, the Website,
or its users, or (c) in an emergency, to protect the health and
safety of its users or the general public. VI further reserves the
right to release any information concerning any user if that user
participates (or is reasonably suspected of participating) in any
illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court
order. VI will cooperate with law enforcement agencies in
identifying those who may be using our servers or services for
illegal activities. VI also reserves the right to report any
suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or
prosecution.
It is possible that VI, its affiliates, its joint ventures, or any
combination of such, could merge with or be acquired by another
business entity. Should such a combination occur, you should expect
that VI would share some or all of your information in order to
continue to provide the service. If permissible, notice of any such
event (to the extent it occurs) may be posted on the Website.
