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.

Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for
purposes of administering our business activities, providing the information or services you

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

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 information or services that you have
requested.
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.

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 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.
