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 service
activities, providing the products and services you requested, 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

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 : From
time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys.
Participation in these surveys 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). 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.
