Policies
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.
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.
