via e-mail. Users will then be presented with a choice as to whether
or not we become authorized to use their information in this
different way. However, if users have opted out of all communication
with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will
not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in
this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our
privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored
in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site
notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice
we will also email users (who have opted to receive communications
from ABC Halters), notifying them
of the changes in our privacy practices.
