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 business activities,
providing the products and services you requested, to process your payment, to monitor the use of the service, for
our marketing and promotional efforts and to improve our content and service offerings, and to 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 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 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.
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.
