We work with Service Providers and Third Parties to assist us to fulfill our sales and
services to you and to process your data, including shipping companies, data hosts,
credit card processors, and email management companies to host our databases, ship
orders, process credit cards, bill users for goods and services. We require all such
Service Providers and Third Parties to keep any information they receive confidential,
maintain the privacy of all our customers, and to use any information provided to only
provide services on behalf of Medlock Ames and the customer. We have in the past and
may continue to disclose for business purposes your personal information to these Third
Parties.
From time to time, we may also employ other companies and individuals to perform
services, to maintain and operate the Site, and to maintain certain features on the Site.
To such parties, we may disclose non-personal information such as traffic patterns and
website usage data, but in no event will we disclose any personal information. Third

sending member e-mails, in which case we will provide these third party vendors only
with member e-mail addresses. Again, we require all such Service Providers and Third
Parties to keep any information they receive confidential, maintain the privacy of all our
customers, and to use any information provided for services on our and your behalf.
