15mab may also collect certain non-personally identifiable information (i.e. generic information that does not identify you personally) when you visit any of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.
How 15mab May Use and Disclose the Information.
15mab will use the personal information you provide online for the purpose(s) you have submitted. Examples of 15mab using your personal information for the purpose(s) submitted may include; ordering a catalog, 15mab will send to you a catalog in the mail, if you have won a contest, 15mab will send you an email notification that you have won. In addition, we may send to you an e-mail offering products or services which we think you may be interested in or to ask you to participate in a survey. For example, 15mab may send to you an e-mail regarding special merchandise offers and announcements about products or services offered by 15mab.com. 15mab may also contact you offline.

How 15mab Shares Your Personal Information.
15mab will not share the personal information you provide except (a) if it is for the purpose(s) you provided it; (b) with your consent; (c) as may be required by law or as 15mab thinks its necessary to protect our company or others from injury (e.g. in response to a court order or subpoena, in response to a law enforcement agency request or when 15mab believes that someone is causing (or about to cause) injury to or interference with the rights or property of another); (d) with other persons or companies with whom 15mab contracts to carry out internal site operations or our business activities (for example, sending out a product or a promotional item that you have requested on the site); and/or (e) notifying you when 15mab makes changes to one of our subscriber agreements or this policy.
Examples of 15mab sharing your personal information for the purposes submitted are if you request information regarding a musical instrument, we may provide the information provided to a third musical instrument company so that they can send to you directly the information you requested or if you enter a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by a third party, 15mab may forward your information to such third party. 15mab will seek to obtain your consent at the place where the information is collected either by an "opt-in" or "opt-out" method, or by other means (such as sending to you an e-mail).
15mab does not consider any companies that are within 15mab’s "family" of companies to be "third parties" for purposes of this policy. Thus, 15mab may also share personal information provided online with companies owned directly or indirectly by 15 Minutes and Beyond LLC. Any of these companies may use and further share this information in the same ways 15mab does. However, if 15mab passes on personal information to a family company, 15mab will require that it protect such information in a manner that is consistent with this policy. If you want 15mab to stop sharing your personal information among 15 Minutes and Beyond LLC owned companies, please send us an email at abuse@15mab.com or contact us at 26371 Paloma, Foothill Ranch CA 92610.
Additionally, with your consent, 15mab may share certain of the personal information you provide online with companies not affiliated with 15mab (i.e. third party companies) who are interested in marketing their products or services to you or in asking you questions, both online and offline. Such companies may include consumer products, telecom, financial, market research, entertainment, and educational services companies and their third party service providers. If you want 15mab to stop sharing your personal information with these companies, please send 15mab an email at abuse@15mab.com or contact us at 26371 Paloma, Foothill Ranch CA 92610.
If you consent to receiving communications from non-affiliated companies, you may need to communicate with them directly if you later decide that you no longer wish to receive their communications or if you wish to change any data you provided online. In this instance, any changes or amendments to your personal information must be given directly to each company who communicates with you as these changes, amendments and/or deletions will not be exchanged between 15mab and non-affiliated companies. If 15mab does share personal information to a non-affiliated company, to the extent practical, 15mab requests that they protect such information in a manner that is consistent with this policy. Such third party companies are not under 15mab’s control, however, so 15mab cannot guarantee how these non-affiliated companies will use your personal information.
