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

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.
