(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

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to

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

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.
