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

IP addresses are used by
your computer every time you are connected to
the Internet. Your IP address is a number that

collected by our web server as part of

all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain in our
database by emailing us at the usual
address.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
