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 website. 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 website,
you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is
collected on an individual basis and anonymous information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others
browse our site.
1. Personal Information
You Choose to Provide
Registration
Information
When you register to receive newsletters or information about our
company or services, you will provide us with minimal contact information about yourself.
E-mail
Information
If you choose to correspond with us through e-mail, we may retain the content of
your e-mail messages together with your e-mail 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. Website Use Information
Similar to other websites, our site utilizes a standard technology called
"cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server log files to collect information about how
our 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 website and the sites visited just before and just after
ours.
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 monitor the most useful
pages. This information is then used to improve
and customize our content and service offerings and fo r other lawful purposes. These uses improve our site and better tailor it to meet your
needs.
Furthermore,
anonymous information, which cannot be linked to you personally, may be shared with others on an
aggregate basis. Personally identifiable information or business information will not be shared with other parties
except as required by law.
Occasionally, we also
may use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services or other
information we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these
updates by emailing us at the link provided in each e-mail we send.
What Are
Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document that often includes an anonymous unique
identifier. When you visit a website, 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 website 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 website to access
the cookies it already has 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 with that browser. 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 website, cookies are used 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 site and which parts of it are most viwed. This helps us gather feedback to
constantly improve our website 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 information that uniquely
identifies a subscriber (such as e-mail 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 e-mailing 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 the law requires
it or for the protection of our legal rights. We also may disclose account information when we have reason to believe
such disclosure 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
Websites Linked to Our Website?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our
website nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as
pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our site.
Please remember that when you
use a link to go from our website to another, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and
interaction on any other website, including those that have a link on our website, is subject to
that site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.
Your
Consent
By using our wbsite, 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, but pledge at all times to maintain the
highest level of protection possible for the privacy of our visitors.
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 indicated as soon as technically feasible.
Surveys &
Contests
From time-to-time our site may
request 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
and age). 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 website
(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 and when changes are made to this privacy policy, we will e-mail all users who have
given us permission to do so. We also 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.
