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

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

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.

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.
