1. INFORMATION COLLECTION PRACTICES:
(a) Traffic Data: Like most website operators, White Peony automatically gathers
information of the sort that browsers automatically make available, including: (i) IP
addresses; (ii) domain servers; (iii) types of computers accessing the Website; and (iv)
types of Web browsers accessing the Website (collectively “Traffic Data”). Traffic Data is
anonymous information that does not personally identify a User.
(b) Cookies: A “Cookie” is a string of information that a website stores on a computer, and
that the computer user’s browser provides to the website each time the computer user
submits a query to the website. The purpose of a Cookie is to identify the computer user as
a unique user of the Website. White Peony uses Cookies to customize a User’s experience
on the Website to the User’s interests, to ensure that User’s do not see the same
advertisements or informational messages repeatedly, and to store User’s password so that

address); (2) “Financial Data” (White Peony does not store or otherwise retain financial or
credit card information); (3) Demographic Data” (such as User’s gender and zip code). In
each case, User will be asked to provide Personal Information; the Website will not gather
it surreptitiously. White Peony may supplement the Personal Information Users provide
with additional Personal Information gathered from public sources or from third-parties
(e.g., consumer reporting agencies) who may lawfully provide such information to White
Peony. Users are under no obligation to provide Personal Information, with the caveat that
User’s refusal to do so may prevent User from using certain Services.
2. INFORMATION USE AND DISCLOSURE PRACTICES:
(a) Traffic Data and Information Gathered Using Cookies:
White Peony analyzes Traffic Data and information gathered using Cookies to help White

Cookies to Personal Information.
(b) Personal Information:
(i) Generally. White Peony uses a User’s Contact Data to send Users information about

Conditions, and to contact Users when necessary in connection with the Services. White
Peony uses Financial Data to verify User’s qualifications for certain Services and, when
necessary, to bill the User. White Peony uses User’s Business Information to file
corporate/company documents. White Peony uses User’s Demographic Data to customize
and tailor User’s experience on the Website. As with Traffic Data and information gathered

those who help it provide services, including those who perform technical, administrative
and data processing tasks such as hosting, billing, fulfillment, and data storage and security.

• Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. White Peony reserves the right to transfer all Personal

acquisition, or bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of White Peony’s assets. Other

transferred Personal Information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy
policy if Users are given notice of that new privacy policy and an opportunity to
affirmatively opt-out of it. Personal Information submitted or collected after a transfer,
however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by White Peony’s successor
organization.
