We collect personally identifiable information from you on a voluntary basis -- in other words, only if you provide it to us. Personal information collected on a voluntary basis may include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number.

This information is collected if you request information from us, participate in a contest or sweepstakes, sign up to join our email list, or request some other service or information from us. The information collected is internally reviewed, used to improve the content of our website, notify our visitors of updates, and respond to visitor inquiries.

In addition, if you purchase goods or services from us, in addition to the information specified above, we may also collect your credit card and/or billing information in order to process the transaction and furnish the items you purchase.

Once information is reviewed and utilized for the purpose you provided it for, it may be discarded or stored in our files. If we make material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information, we will inform you by updating this notice. Personal information will be used only for internal purposes and will not be sold or provided to third parties except as provided herein.

Use of Cookies and Web Beacons

We may use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. Cookies are identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the sites pages, or register with any of our site's services, a cookie enables Military-Money-Matters.com to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.

A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a single website or collection of sites. They are also referred to as web bugs and are commonly used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with the pages and content on the pages of a web site.

We may serve third-party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in the course of ads being served on our web site to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. No personally identifiable information you give us is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you with that information on our web site.

Some third-party advertisements may be provided by Google, which uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google uses the DART cookie, which enables it to serve ads tailored to our users based on their visits to this site and other sites on the Web. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

Note: Because Google uses DoubleClick technology to serve its ads, cookies placed by Google for behavioral advertising, including its opt-out cookie, will appear as DoubleClick cookies.

You may opt out of some, but not all, of these cookies in one location at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out website at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy software can be used to override web beacons. Taking either of these actions shouldn't cause a problem with our site, should you so choose.
