includes an anonymous unique identifier, that is sent to your browser from a web
site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each web site can
send its own cookies to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but

access their own cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of cookies is
subject to their own respective privacy policies. We do not have access to any
information stored by third party advertisers about you.

Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information
In general, we will not disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to
unaffiliated third parties without your express consent. If we seek your consent
to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to a third party, we will
do so unambiguously, explaining precisely what information we seek to disclose,
the entity to whom we wish to disclose it, and the purpose for the disclosure.
There are, however, some limited circumstances in which we may need to
disclose Personally Identifiable Information about a user, and we want you to
know about them:
We may employ other companies to perform functions on our
behalf, such as fulfilling orders, providing customer service, sending mail,
processing credit card payments, or other functions necessary to our business.
We may need to share your Personally Identifiable Information to these
companies. However, we will provide them with only that information necessary to
perform their functions, and will not allow them to use that information for any
other purpose.
Responses to requests for information necessary to provide
you with the products you purchase or subscribe to through the Ahika Design
service may contain Personally Identifiable Information. Ahika Design will
provide the authors of such products the information you supply in response to
those requests. The information practices of those publishers are not covered by
this privacy policy. Your name, address, phone number, and email address, will
not be shared with the Authors.
We may reveal a user's identity (or
whatever information we know about that individual) if we believe that user is
harming or interfering with other Ahika Design users, anyone else, or violating
(either intentionally or unintentionally) our Terms and Conditions or infringing
any of Ahika Design's legal rights.

including Personally Identifiable Information, to the extent it reasonably
believes it is required to do so by law. If we receive legal process calling for

general business purposes.
Ahika Design may disclose Anonymous Information

be deleted assuming (i) you are current with all payment obligations; (ii) Ahika
Design does not believe it is reasonably necessary to keep such information for
