policy will be continuously assessed against
new technologies, business practices and our

What Information Do
We Collect?
When you visit this web site
you may provide us with two types of information:

on an aggregate basis as you and others browse

1. Personal Information

Registration Information

for these electronic communications that we

2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial
Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called "cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and web
server log files to collect information about
how our Web site is used. Information gathered
through cookies and Web server logs may include
the date and time of visits, the pages viewed,
time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites
visited just before and just after our Web site.
How Do We Use the Information
That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal
information for purposes of administering our
business activities, providing the products
and services you requested, to monitor the use
of the service, our marketing and promotional
efforts and improve our content and service
offerings, and customize our site's content,
layout, services and for other lawful purposes.
These uses improve our site and better tailor
it to meet your needs.
Furthermore, such information
may be shared with others on an aggregate basis.
Personally identifiable information or business

except as required by law.
Occasionally, we may also use

important changes to our Website, new services,
and special offers we think you will find valuable.
You may notify us at any time if you do not
wish to receive these offers by emailing us
at the link provided on the newsletter.
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.
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.
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
By using our Web site 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.
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. |
