2. Web Site Use Information

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

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

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.
