2. Web

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

Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing the

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.
