What

use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and

1. Personal

content of your email messages together with your email address
and our responses. We provide the same protections for these
electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of

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 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
efforts and 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.
Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Website, new services, and special
offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at
any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing
us at the link provided on the newsletter.
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. 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. For your information we only use Google
Analytics to gain this information.
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.
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.
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
