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.

Consent
By

consent to our collection
and use of your personal

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.
