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

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.
