DynaFlex generally collects personally identifiable information with
your specific knowledge and consent. For instance, when you complete a
survey, subscribe to our newsletter, or send us e-mail, you will be
asked to provide information such as your e-mail address, name, phone
number, and sometimes shipping address. Optional information such as
your age or gender may also be requested. This information may be
collected by third party service providers with whom DynaFlex contracts
to host the web site or to fulfill requests for services; in that
event, DynaFlex asks such service providers to make the personal
information available only to DynaFlex for DynaFlex to use in
accordance with the terms of this policy and not to use the information
for any other purpose.
- DynaFlex uses this information to provide you with the service you
have requested. If you elect to receive our newsletter, we may use your
e-mail address to send you a confirmation notice and your mailing
address to send you your magazine. Similarly, if you enter online
sweepstakes, we will use this information to notify you if you are a
winner.
- In addition, DynaFlex uses information you provide us through emails
and in response to polls for editorial purposes. Please be advised that
any such submissions become the property of DynaFlex, and may be used
by DynaFlex for any lawful purpose.

or functions on our behalf (such as sending emails or processing credit
cards or fulfilling subscriptions), and ask these service providers to

information and not to use your personally identifiable information for
any reason except to carry out the purpose(s) for which we hired them;
the entity to whom the information is disclosed is one under control
of, or under common control with DynaFlex (for these purposes, a
company controlling twenty (20%) percent or more of the voting stock of
