We use this information to understand how our members, as a group, use the service so that we can make the service better. We may also share this statistical information with our partners or other outside companies, but in doing so, we do not disclose individual names or personal navigational information. |
Advertising |

550Access does not sell advertising which would create pop up ads or banner ads while you are online. Our accelerator software includes a popup blocker that will eliminate ads generated by individual web sites that you choose to visit.
