eGlean collects information from its Users who apply to become Members: the name, address, phone number(s) and email of
the Member or Member company, the nature and size of its business, the products and services the Member intends to
engage in, bank references and other pertinent financial information. This information is collected in order for eGlean
to evaluate the eligibility of the User for Membership and use of the Site and for other Members to evaluate potential
business transactions with the Member. Member applications may be verified with financial and credit institutions such
as Dun and Bradstreet. Information obtained from these sources will be used only in connection with Member access and use
of the Site, and will not be transferred, sold or otherwise distributed without the user's permission, unless required by
court order.

eGlean collects and securely stores the information submitted by Members in their Member Profile. Our third party service
vendors who may provide such services as credit and insurance may collect other information from our Members of the Site.
We do not control how these third parties use such information.

We use personal information to customize the Site, to make appropriate service offerings to you and to fulfill your buying
and selling requests on the Site. We will email you about the Site, about research, purchase and selling opportunities on the

Member information may be shared with other Members who wish to evaluate potential transactions with Member. The Member
Profile form indicates which information that is collected will be disclosed to other Members. We may share aggregated
information about our Members, including the demographics of our Members with our directors, agencies and third party
vendors. We may only share personal information about you with third parties if you have permitted us to do so. We also
offer you the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving information or being contacted by us or by any agency acting on our
behalf.

Our employees are made aware of our security policy and practices. The personal information of our Users and Members is only accessible
to a limited number of qualified employees who are given a password in order to gain access to that information. We audit our

We provide Members with a mechanism to delete/deactivate personal information from the Site's database upon request by
contacting privacy@eglean.com. However, because of backups, and records of deletions,
it may be impossible to delete a User's entry without some residual information. An individual who requests to have Personally
Identifiable Information deactivated will be functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer or use Personally
Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any way moving forward.
