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. Personal Information You Choose to
Provide:
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 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 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.
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
From time-to-time our site requests
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. Information requested may include contact
information (such as name and address), and demographic
information (such as zip code, age level). Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this
site.
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
