On this Site, we may provide as a convenience to you links to other websites, including
sites operated by us, our partners, associates, or independent third parties. These
links are provided as a convenience to you. Each website has its own privacy practices,
as described in that site's privacy policy. Those practices may be different than
the practices described herein, and we urge you to read each website's privacy policy
carefully before you use or submit information to that site. Additionally, to the
extent that you follow a link to a website operated by an independent third party,
please be aware that we exercise no authority or control over that third party,

United States of America, which location may be outside of your own country, and
by providing us with your information, you are consenting to such transfer. Although

Cookies
When you visit this Site, we leave a "Cookie" in the memory of your Web
browser. The site will only function properly if Cookies are enabled. www.makersmark.com
uses persistent Cookies to authenticate you as a user and display content that is
relevant and specific to you. Cookies are very small files that store information
about your visit to and use of this Site. Most major commercial Internet sites use
them and they make your Internet-surfing more useful and less time-consuming for
you because they store information that is reusable each time you visit this Site,
such as birthday and other preferences you have chosen to share with us. Cookies
cannot access and read the files on your hard drive and cannot be used as a virus.
They do allow us to provide information and products that are more meaningful to
you without asking you the same questions every time you visit us. You may get Cookies
from our advertisers. We cannot pre-screen these Cookies since they come directly
to you from other sites. We hope you will want the better service that Cookies allow,
but if you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse Cookies. However by doing
that, you will not be able to access
www.makersmark.com.
We reserve the right to change or update this policy at any time by posting a notice
that we are changing our privacy policy or by sending an e-mail message to previously
registered visitors.

In order to facilitate the transfer of data between the US and EU countries, the
US and the EU have entered into a "safe harbor program," under which data
can be transferred from the EU to participating non-EU companies. The program has
a set of seven principles, to which Beam Global complies with respect to the data
collected and used as described in this Privacy Policy. As part of that program,
while we strive to respond to your concerns, we recognize that we may not always
answer all of your questions, and as such if you are an EU resident, we will participate
with the Data Protection Authority in the country in which you reside. Thus to the
extent that you feel that your questions have not been answered, and you are a resident
of an EU Member country, you should feel free to contact the Data Protection Authority
of the country in which you reside.
This policy is effective as of April 24, 2007
