NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION – USE OF COOKIES
When you view SugarShock.com, we may automatically collect information about
you that is not personally identifiable. In order to collect this non-personal
information, we may store information on your computer in the form of a “cookie”
or similar file. Cookies are small data files that your browser places on your
computer’s hard drive when you visit a website to indicate that you viewed
the website. Cookies do not provide us with any personal information about
you. They help us collect aggregate data about the number of visitors to the
website, how long they stay, and what features of the website they use most
often. Cookies also help us learn general information about the types of computers,
browsers and operating systems used to view SugarShock.com so that we can make
sure that the technology we use to create our features can be viewed by our
users. You may choose to set up your browser to refuse cookies or alert you
when cookies are sent, but if you don't have a SugarShock.com cookie, it may
limit our ability to customize and improve our features for you when you use
the website. Again, SugarShock.com only collects this information in aggregate
form for internal purposes. We do not combine this non-personal information
with any personally identifiable information we collect from you.

DOES SUGARSHOCK.COM SHARE MY INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES?
Except as explained in this paragraph, we do not give, sell or otherwise transfer
your personally identifiable information to anyone outside SugarShock.com unless
we first disclose to you at the time of collection that your personal information
may be provided to third parties. The following are the limited instances where
we may disclose or transfer personally identifiable information:
(1) We may provide such information to appropriate authorities if we believe
in good faith that the law requires it or to protect the legal rights or property
of SugarShock.com.
(2) As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell business assets.
In such transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferred
business assets. Accordingly, you can expect that if SugarShock.com were to
be sold or merged or substantially all of its assets were sold, your information
would be part of the assets transferred in a sale or merger.
