Similar to other commercial Web

time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just
before and just after our Web

personal information for purposes of administering our business
activities, providing the products and services you requested,

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.

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.
