This policy will be continuously assessed against new
technologies, business practices and our customers'

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:

When you

communications that we employ in the maintenance of information
received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
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.
Furthermore,
such information may be shared with others on an aggregate

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. 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. Any browsing
or interaction on any other web site, including websites which
have a link on our website, is subject to that website's own
rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies
before proceeding.
Implicit 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 18) 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.
