2.
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, our marketing
and promotional efforts and improve our content
and service offerings, and 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.

such information may be shared with others on an

offers by emailing us at the link provided on

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.
