What

1.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Email
Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain
the content of your email messages together with your email address
and our responses. We provide the same protections for these
electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of
information received by mail and telephone.
2. 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 pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web
sites visited just before and just after our Web site.
How Do We
Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing the products
and services you requested, to process your payment to
monitor the use of the service, our marketing and promotional
efforts and improve our content and service offerings, and
customize our site's content, layout, services and for other
lawful purposes. These uses improve our site and better
tailor it to meet your needs.
Furthermore,
such information may be shared with others on an aggregate
basis. Personally identifiable information or business
information will not be shared with parties except as
required by law.
Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you
about important changes to our Website, new services, and
special offers we think you will find valuable. You may
notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these
offers by emailing us at the link provided on the
newsletter.
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.
