discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices
for this website.
We recognize the
importance of protecting your privacy

designed to assist you in understanding how we collect,
use and safeguard the personal information you provide to

against new technologies, business practices and our
customers' needs.
What
Information Do We
Collect?

others browse our Web site.
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 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 third
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

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.

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.

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.

(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.
