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

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

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.
