procedural safeguards that comply with

information, you understand and consent
to the international transfer of your
data.
- You should take steps to protect
yourself as well. For example:
- Do not share your password with
anyone else, and take measures to
prevent it from unauthorized access
or disclosure.

Links and Third Party Ads
- We may post links to other web sites
as a service to you. These sites are
operated by companies that are outside
of our control, and your activities at
those sites will be governed by the
policies and practices of those third
parties. We encourage you to review the
privacy practices of these third parties
before disclosing any personally
identifiable information, as we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of
those sites.
- We may allow third party advertisers
to post advertisements on our site.
These third parties may place cookies on
certain pages of our site. We do not
control those third parties, or their
cookies. This privacy policy does not
cover those third party advertisers’ use
of cookies.
- The advertising we display may be
targeted to users of particular services
and content. So if you view or click on
a targeted ad, the advertiser (or other
companies affiliated with the
advertiser) may assume that you meet the
targeting criteria — for example, men
aged 30-40.

20, 2009. GoFishSC may update this
policy. We will notify you about
