Similar
to other commercial websites, our website utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see

What are
cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which 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 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
website, 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 website and which parts of the site are most popular. 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 provides 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 linked websites
to our site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website or 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
website.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our website to another website, our Privacy
Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including
websites, which have a link on our website, is subject to that website's own rules and policies.
Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your consent
By using our website 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 website 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 and
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
and/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/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 it,
without your prior consent.
