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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
