"What Are Cookies?") and web server log files to collect
information about how our Web site is used. Information

administering our business activities, providing the products

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

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.
