Privacy Policy

 

We recognize the importance of protecting your privacy and
our policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use
and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you
in making informed decisions when using our site. This policy will be
continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and the
needs of our customers.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit this web site you may provide us with two types of
information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is
collected on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on
an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.

1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide

Email Information

If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the
content of your email messages together with your email address and our
responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic
communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received
by mail and telephone.

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 information or business information will
not be shared with parties except as required by law.

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you
about 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.

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.
