On those MBD INVESTMENT GROUP, INC. sites where you may provide MBD INVESTMENT GROUP, INC. with credit card, electronic payment service, or other ordering information via the Web, MBD INVESTMENT GROUP, INC. protects and secures this information by employing commercially customary Web-based security and encryption protocols, an example of which is the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). On those sites where you voluntarily offer any feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas or the like, MBD INVESTMENT GROUP, INC. will treat that portion of the information as non-confidential and non-proprietary and, except as otherwise expressed in this Privacy Policy, MBD INVESTMENT GROUP, INC. assumes no obligation to protect such information from disclosure.

INC. sites visited. MBD INVESTMENT GROUP, INC. gathers this information for the
limited purpose of determining customer service and Web site needs. We accomplish
this by using certain technologies, including "cookies" (a technology that can

GROUP, INC. services). MBD INVESTMENT GROUP, INC. does not combine information
collected in this way with any personally identifiable information. You can set
