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 process your payment, , 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

with parties except as required by law.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we

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.
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.
