you may sign up for accounts on some of these websites. These websites have
their own privacy and information security policy and terms and conditions
and do not necessarily follow our privacy policy. Their policies will control
their collection and use of your personal information. Visitors should consult
the other websites' privacy notices as we have no control over information that

Site is hosted on our computer servers in the United States. Any personal
information collected through this Site may be transferred to the United
States and other countries that might not provide an equivalent level of
protection as the data protection laws in your home country. Your use of

Collection of Information
The provision of personal information to Cozzee means that you agree

in accordance with this privacy policy. In addition, where appropriate, specific
authorizations or consents may be obtained from time to time. For example, we
may seek consent to use and share personal information after it has been
collected in those cases where Cozzee wishes to use the information for a
purpose not previously identified or for which the individual concerned has
not previously provided consent. In most cases, and subject to legal and
contractual restrictions, an individual is free to refuse or withdraw his or
her consent at any time upon reasonable, advance notice. It should be noted
that in some circumstances, certain Cozzee products and services can only be
offered if a person provides personal information to Cozzee. If you choose not
provide us with any required personal information, we may not be able to offer
the products or services requested. We will inform you of the consequences of
the withdrawal of consent.
