Similar to other commercial Web sites,

Cookies?") and web server log files to collect
information about how our Web site is used. Information

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document,
which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When
you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your
computer for permission to store this file in a part of your
hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web
site can send its own cookie to your browser if your
browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your
privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the
cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to
you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept
cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive
cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to
refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse
cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site will not
function as effectively when viewed by the users. A cookie
cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass
on computer viruses.
How Do We Use Information We
Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web site,
the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other users.
In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from
having to log in more than is necessary for security.
Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files,
allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people
visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most
popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve
our Web site and better serve our clients. Cookies do not
allow us to gather any personal information about you and we
do not intentionally store any personal information that
your browser provided to us in your cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer
every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP
address is a number that is used by computers on the network
to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically
collected by our web server as part of demographic and
profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as the
Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
Sharing and Selling Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any
of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such
as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except
to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or
provide services that you have requested.
How Can You Access and Correct
Your Information?
You may request access to all your
personally identifiable information that we collect online
and maintain in our database by emailing us at the usual
address.
What About Legally Compelled
Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally
compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith,
believe that the law requires it or for the protection of
our legal rights. We may also disclose account information
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating our Terms of
Service or to protect the safety of our users and the
Public.
What About Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices
employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site or the
information or content contained therein. Often links to
other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to
information on topics that may be useful to the users of our
Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link
to go from our Website to another web site, our Privacy
Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction
on any other web site, including web sites, which have a
link on our Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules
and policies. Please read over those rules and policies
before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our
collection and use of your personal information as described
in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this
privacy policy at any time with or without notice.
Our Commitment To Data Security:
Please note that your information will
be stored and processed on our computers in the United
States. The laws on holding personal data in the United
States may be less stringent than the laws of your Country
of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of
information, we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and
secure the information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows visitors to unsubscribe
so that they will not receive future messages. After
unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the particular
messages as soon as technically feasible.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests
information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not
to disclose this information. Information requested may
include contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age
level). Contact information will be used to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
A Special Note About Children
Children are not eligible to use our
services unsupervised and we ask that children (under the
age of 14) do not submit any personal information to us. If
you are a minor, you can use this service only in
conjunction with permission and guidance from your parents
or guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in
Ownership
In the event that the web site (or a
substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your
information would be considered part of those assets, and
may be part of those assets that are transferred.
Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy from
time to time. If/when changes are made to this privacy
policy, we will email users who have given us permission to
do so. We will post any changes here, so be sure to check
back periodically. However, please be assured that if the
Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use the
personal information you have submitted to us under this
Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent
with this Privacy Policy, without your prior consent.
