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.
