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

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.

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

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.
