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

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

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.

unsupervised

personal information to us. If you are a minor,
you can use this service only in conjunction
with permission and guidance from your parents

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.
