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 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 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.

to go from our website to another website, our Privacy Policy is no

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.

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.

services unsupervised and we ask that children (under the age of 14) do

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.
