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.

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.

Site?
We are not responsible for the practices

topics that may be useful to the users of our
Web site.

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.

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.

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

satisfaction of this site.

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.
