Privacy Policy
We have created this privacy
statement in order to demonstrate our firm and continuing
commitment to the privacy of personal information provided by
those visiting and interacting with this web site. We hold the
privacy of your personal information in the highest regard. The
following discloses our information gathering and dissemination
practices for this website.
We recognize the importance of protecting
your privacy and our policy is designed to assist you in
understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal
information you provide to us and to assist you in making
informed decisions when using our site. This policy will be
continuously assessed against new technologies, business
practices and our customers' needs.
What Information Do We
Collect?
When you visit this web site you may
provide us with two types of information: personal information
you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an
individual basis and Web site use information collected on an
aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web
site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to
Provide:
Registration Information
When you register for any of our products, services or
newsletters you will provide us information about
yourself.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may
retain the content of your email messages together with your
email address and our responses. We provide the same
protections for these electronic communications that we employ
in the maintenance of information received by mail and
telephone.
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.
Furthermore, such information may be
shared with others on an aggregate basis. Personally
identifiable information or business information will not be
shared with parties except as required by law.
Occasionally, we may also use the
information we collect to notify you about important changes to
our Website, new services, and special offers we think you will
find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish
to receive these offers by emailing us at the link provided on
the newsletter.
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
Privacy Policy
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.
