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

Web sites visited just before and just after our Web
site.
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 and promotional efforts
and
improve
our content and service offerings, and customize our site's

other lawful purposes.
These
uses improve our site and better tailor it to meet your

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
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.

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.
