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.

necessary to process transactions or provide
services that you have requested.

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

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.
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

collection and use of your personal information
as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve

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.
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 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.
