1. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site
utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server
log files to collect information about how our Web site
is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web
server logs may include the date and time of visits, the

Broadly speaking, we use personal information for

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.
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.
