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.

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

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.

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.
