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
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 basis. Personally identifiable information or business information
will not be shared with parties except as required by law.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we

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

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.
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.
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.
