Privacy
Policy
We
have created this privacy statement in order to
demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment to the
privacy of personal information provided by those
visiting and interacting with this web site. We hold the
privacy of your personal information in the highest
regard.
The following discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices for this website. We recognize the
importance of protecting your privacy and our policy is
designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and
safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to
assist you in making informed decisions when using our site.
This policy will be continuously assessed against new
technologies, business practices and our customers' needs.
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. Email Information: If you choose to
correspond with us through email, we may retain the 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 information
received by mail and telephone.
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 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. 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 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: From time-to-time our site may
request information from users via surveys. Participation in
these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore
has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. 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.
