If you choose to register with Micron or to place an order with us, we may
ask that you provide us with contact information (first and last name, e-mail
address and telephone number), financial information (account or credit card
numbers), demographic information (address, age, or income level), and unique
identifiers (tax ID number), information about where you learned of our products
and information about your intended use of our products. We do not purge customer

Demographic information may be used to tailor your experience at our sites,
showing you information that we think you might be interested in, and presenting
information according to your preferences. We may use demographic information
to develop summary - but not individual - reports for our advertisers so that
they may determine how effective their advertising investments are. We never
tell our advertisers who it was that saw or clicked on their advertisements,
unless you have specifically told us that this is acceptable. In addition,
our sales and marketing departments may also use demographic information, information
about where you learned of our products and information about your intended
use of our products to improve our advertising and marketing efforts and to
measure interest in our products. We may use unique identifiers to verify our
resellers and customers and to allow customers to identify themselves to us.
Surveys and contests
Micron may invite you to participate in online surveys or contests. Participation
is never required. If you choose to participate, you may be asked to disclose
contact and demographic information as well as additional information about
you and/or your company. We may use this information to send you information
about our company, contact you when necessary, tailor your experience at our
site, display information according to your preferences and improve our Web
sites, products and advertising. If you do not want to receive any mailings
from us, please see the choice/opt-out section below. This information may
be shared with our advertisers on a summary, not individual, basis.
Public forums
Micron may make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available
to you. Because any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public
information, you should exercise caution when deciding whether to disclose
your personal information.
Information requests

and services, including technical support and customer service, by using online
forms. We ask that you provide certain contact information to allow us to fulfill

Children's guidelines
Micron's sites are not geared towards children. Micron does maintain a few
Web pages designed to provide young people educational and charitable information.
On all Micron sites, Micron attempts to protect children. Micron must, however,
rely on the information provided to us by visitors to our sites. As a result,
it is impossible for us to guarantee with absolute certainty that the information
collected and utilized by Micron is or is not derived from a child. The following
sets forth Micron's policy with respect to the collection and/or use of children's
information:
- For purposes of this Policy, a "child" is an individual age 12
or younger
- We do not collect children's contact information without prior parental
consent, which will include an opportunity for the parent to prevent use
of the information and participation in the activity. Without prior parental
consent, online information will only be used to respond directly to the
child's request and for no other purpose.
- We do not collect children's personally identifiable offline contact information
without prior parental consent.
- We do not distribute children's personal information to any third party
without prior parental consent.
- We do not provide the ability to publicly post or otherwise transmit information
that could be used to identify a child without prior parental consent.
- We do not entice children by the prospect of a special game, prize, or
other activity, to divulge more information than is needed to participate
in the activity.

our sites, and gather broad demographic information to measure general interest
in our products and to share with our advertisers on a summary, not individual,
basis.
