standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What

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.

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

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.

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. 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.

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.
