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

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

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.

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.
