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

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.
