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

date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our

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?
A cookie is a small file which asks
permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you
agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web
traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site.
Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an
individual. The web application can tailor its operations to
your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering
information about your preferences.
We use traffic log cookies to identify
which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about
web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it
to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical
analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the
system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with
a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you
find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us
access to your computer or any information about you, other
than the data you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline
cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but
you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage
of the website.
This site may carry interest based
advertising for which Google or other third party vendors use
cookies to serve advertisements on this site. Googles use of
the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our visitors based
on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie at any time by
visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy

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.

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.

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.

remember that when you use a link to go from our Website to
another web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.

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.

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.

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.

that children (under the age of 14) do
not submit any personal information to us. If you are a minor,

and guidance from your parents or

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.
