This statement applies
solely to information
collected on this
Website.
What Information Do
We Collect?
When you

provide us with two types
of information: personal

choose to disclose that is
collected on an individual
basis and Website use
information collected on an
aggregate basis as you and
others browse our Web

2. Web Site Use
Information
Similar
to other commercial
Websites, our Website
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.
What Are
Cookies?
A cookie
is a very small text
document, which often
includes an anonymous
unique identifier. When you
visit a Website, 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
Website 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 Website 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 Website 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
Website, 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.
How Do We Use the
Information That You
Provide to Us?
Information we collect may
be:
- used
for purposes of
administering our business
activities
- used
to provide products and
services you have
requested
- used
to process any payments due
to us by you
- used
to monitor the use of our
service
- used
to improve the content of
our Web pages
- used
to customize the content
and/or layout of our pages
for
individual visitors
- used
to notify visitors about
updates to our Website
- used
by us to contact consumers
for marketing and
promotion
purposes
- shared
with reputable
organizations to help them
contact
consumers for marketing
purposes
Occasionally, we may also
use the information we

any important changes to
our Website, new services,
and special offers we think
you will find valuable.
However, 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.
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
and Conditions of Service
or to protect the safety of
our users and the
public.
Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web
Site
Please
be aware that we are not
responsible for the
practices employed by
Websites linked to or from
our Website 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
Website.
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 website,
including web sites which
have a link on our Website,
is subject to that
Website's own rules and
policies. Please read over
those rules and policies
before proceeding.
Your
Consent
By using
our Website 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.
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 may be used for
purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
When operating online
surveys we also sell and/or
share our subscribers’
email addresses with other
online businesses.
Newsletters
(Ezines)
We may
choose to publish online
newsletters (ezines).
Whilst subscription to
these newsletters is
completely voluntary, this
Website 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.
When
publishing ezines, we may
also sell and/or share our
subscribers’ email
addresses with other online
businesses.

Children
are not eligible to use our
services unsupervised and
we ask that children under
the age of 16 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 this Website (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 we
decide to change our
Privacy Policy, we will
post those changes to this
Web page so please check
back periodically.

within one week.

any problems arise, users
