Introduction
We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate
our firm and continuing commitment to the privacy of personal
information provided by those visiting and interacting with
this web site. We hold the privacy of your personal
information in the highest regard. The following discloses our
information gathering and dissemination practices for this
website.
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 our
customers' needs.
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
Registration Information
When you register for any of our products, services or
newsletters you will provide us information about
yourself.
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
protection for these electronic communications that we employ
in the maintenance of information received by mail and
telephone.
Personally
identifiable information or business information will not be
shared with any parties except as required by law.
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 the purposes
of administering our business activities, providing our
products and services you requested, monitoring the use of our
service, our marketing and promotional efforts and to 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.
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
may provide 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 could uniquely identify a site visitor (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
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.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site we may request 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. It will never be sold or disclosed
to a third party.
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.
