This Privacy Policy describes the Company's privacy
policy with regard to the Company's Internet web site
located at the Uniform Resource Locater http://www.startadevelopment.com
or any successor Internet web site thereto (the "Site").
By visiting the Site, you are accepting the practices
described in this Privacy Policy.
1) What personally identifiable information does the
Company collect from you?
The Company collects information from our users at
several different points on the Site.
We gather personal information when you register.
During registration, the Company asks for some or all
of the following information: your name, address, city,
state, postal code, email address, telephone, country,
employer, employer's contact information, type of
business, your permission to contact you with relevant
notifications regarding your business
The more information you volunteer (and the more
accurate it is), the better we are able to customize
your experience. After you register you are no longer
anonymous to the Company and are given a Logon ID that
allows you to take full advantage of the Site's many
offerings.
In addition to registration, we may ask you for
personal information when you access certain services
or products through the Site. If you contact the
Company we may keep a record of that correspondence.
The Company may also occasionally ask you to complete a
survey that the Company uses for research purposes.
Wherever the Company collects personal information we
make an effort to include a link to this Privacy
Policy.
When you call us for technical help or with problem
reports, we log your correspondence or a summary of
your call into our own quality assurance system. By
doing so, we're able to spot and track trends - so we
know if lots of users are having a hard time working
with a particular feature of the Site, we need to
revisit its design.

of 13. At this time, no child under the age of 13 is

information from anyone under the age of 13.
