Notification of
Changes
If Freedom Is Not Free,

aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy
under which the information was collected.
If, however, we are

have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated
their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information
be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our
privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database,
we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change. In
some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive
communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices. Disclaimer: Though
we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal
information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action
is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal
