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.

Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing the products and services you requested, 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

Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an aggregate

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about

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 identifies 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. 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.
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.
