collected via the Internet.

What are cookies and how does Maytag.com
use them?
Maytag.com uses “cookie” technology to obtain non-personal
information from online visitors. A “cookie” is a small
text file that is sent to your web browser from a web server and stored
on your computer’s hard drive. Maytag.com uses “cookies”
as a means of compiling information detailing the usage of our site.
These findings help us understand our customer’s needs so that
we may improve your browsing/shopping experience at Maytag.com. Generally,
we may use “cookies” to:
1. Estimate the number of users of our site.
2. Quantify general usage of our site.
3. Track aggregate traffic patterns.
4. Assist in the personalization and general improvement of your experience
at Maytag.com.
Personal information cannot be extracted
by simply placing a “cookie” on an individual’s computer.
If you have submitted personal information to Maytag.com, then the aggregated
data may be combined with some personal information for internal marketing
and reporting purposes.
Even though most Web browsers accept “cookies”,
most browsers also give you the option to reject “cookies”.
Please note that if you set your browser to reject “cookies”
you will still be able to visit the Maytag.com site but your shopping
and browsing experience may be somewhat affected.
How is Maytag.com using the collected
information?
We do not sell or rent information about our customers. However, Maytag
Appliances Sales Company or one of the affiliate companies of Maytag
Corporation may use personal information collected for internal marketing
purposes such as market research. It may also be used to contact you
about the latest product information or a notice of local sales or promotions.
We will not contact you for marketing purposes without your consent.
Maytag may also provide aggregate statistics about our visitors, sales,
traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third parties,
but these statistics will not include any personal identifying information.
How does Maytag.com protect my information?
When you register with the site or access your account information,
we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software (SSL)
encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore,
all of the customer data we collect is protected against both physical
