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 clients needs.
Sharing and Selling Information:
We
DO NOT share, trade, rent, lend, lease, or sell any of the information
that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or
personal details) to or with anyone except to the extent it is
necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have
requested. We hate junk email, too!
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out: If
you choose to provide us your email address, we may at times email you
information and/or offers we think you might find interesting.
You can Opt-Out / Unsubscribe from these emails at any time and you
will not receive future messages. Every email we send comes with
an Opt-Out / Unsubscribe link. Click that link, and we will
discontinue sending you messages as soon as technically feasible.
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.
Personal Information You Choose to
Provide Registration Information: When
you register for any of our products, services or newsletters you will
provide us information about yourself. The only registration
information we request is your first name and email address.
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.
Credit
Card
Information: We
do not collect or store any credit card information. We use
secure 3rd party vendors, such as PayPal, to process payments. They DO
NOT share any of your credit card information with us. They just tell
us if your payment was successfully processed.
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 products and services you requested,
executing and improving our marketing and promotional efforts, 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 every email we send.
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 who allow
cookies. 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.
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.
However, the only personally identifiable information we might have
would be your first name and email address, so we don't see the point.
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.
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.
Surveys & Contests: From
time-to-time our site may request 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 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 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. 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.
