Use of your Personal Information
Sai Service Stories collects and uses your personal

Sai Service Stories does not sell,
rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Sai Service Stories may, from
time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a
particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique

This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within

Sai Service Stories Web sites will
disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so
by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a)

Use of Cookies
The Sai Service Stories Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your
online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by
a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary
purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The
purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a
specific page. For example, if you personalize Sai Service Stories pages, or
register with Sai Service Stories site or services, a cookie helps
Sai Service Stories to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as
billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same
Sai Service Stories Web site, the information you previously provided can be
retrieved, so you can easily use the Sai Service Stories features that you
customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you
may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the
Sai Service Stories services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Sai Service Stories secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Sai Service Stories secures the
personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a
controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is
transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Sai Service Stories will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. Sai Service Stories encourages you to periodically
review this Statement to be informed of how Sai Service Stories is protecting
your information.
