Privacy
Policy
We have
created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm
commitment to privacy and the protection of internet users.
This Privacy Policy explains our practices with respect to the
collection, use, and disclosure of personal and non-personal
information provided by visitors to our Web site. By using this
site, you signify your assent to our privacy practices and the
terms and conditions of our Web site. If this policy is not
agreeable to you, please do not use this site.
What type
information is collected?
We only collect personal information from visitors to our Web
site when they voluntarily provide it to us by completing our
registration form or electing to use one of our services. We
may require visitors to provide us with information including,
but not limited to, their name, physical address, email address,
birth date, username, password, and IP address. When visitors
access our website, certain non-personal information may be
collected from them including, but not limited to, their browser
type (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer), operating system
(e.g., Windows or Macintosh), IP address, and the domain name
from which they accessed the site (e.g., google.com). In addition,
we may collect information about visitors' browsing behavior,
such as the date and time they visit the Web site, the areas
or pages of our Web site that they visit, the amount of time
spent viewing the site, the number of times the visitor returns
to the site, and click-stream data. We do not track any information
about visitors once they leave our site. We may use cookies
(small text files that are stored on visitors computers when
they access our Web site) to collect this information. Information
collected through cookies may be combined with visitors' personal
information. Visitors are always free to decline cookies, but
in doing so they may not be able to use certain features on
our Web site. The "help" segment of the toolbar on
most browsers explains how to configure a browser to not accept
new cookies, how to have the browser inform a user when they
receive a new cookie, and how to erase cookies from their hard
drives.
In what
way do we use your personal and non-personal information?
Our goal in collecting personal information is to provide visitors
with the most personalized Web experience possible and our advertisers
with an efficient means to reach the right audience. By knowing
a little about our visitors, we are able to deliver more relevant
content and advertisements, and provide better services. We
may use information collected from visitors to our Web site
for any of the following purposes: (1) to send visitors information
and promotional materials about our company and products, (2)
to send visitors information and promotional materials from
our marketing partners and third parties (such as advertisers
on our Web site), (3) to deliver targeted display advertisements
and offers by email (by matching criteria provided by our advertisers
with information collected from our visitors), (4) to contact
visitors to our Web site, (5) to allow one-click purchases or
access to proprietary content by pre-populating fields, within
registration or other transaction screens, with a visitor's
name, billing address, and email (among other things), as provided
by that visitor, (6) to help diagnose problems with our server,
(7) to administer our Web site, (8) to conduct internal reviews
of our site (e.g., to determine the number of visitors to the
site), (9) to help us better understand visitors' use of our
site, and (10) to protect the security or integrity of our site.
Non-personal information will be used for purposes of conducting
internal reviews of the site, monitoring the site, and providing
a greater online experience for our visitors.
What security
measures do we take to protect your data?
To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data integrity,
and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in
place certain physical, electronic, and managerial procedures
to safeguard and secure the information we collect from visitors
to our Web site. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology
to protect any information provided to us that is deemed to
be sensitive. We allow access to personal information only to
persons and entities engaging in activities provided for by
this Privacy Policy. Visitors should consider any communication
that they transmit to us (such as data, questions or answers,
comments, suggestions, or communications submitted to a chat
room) to be non-confidential. We will not be liable or responsible
if information that belongs to a visitor is intercepted and
used by an unintended recipient, though we do take precautions
to prevent it from happening where possible.
We protect
children's privacy.
Protecting the privacy of children is VERY important to us.
For that reason we do not structure any part of our site to
attract anyone under the age of 18 (21 in some areas) and we
do not allow anyone under the age of 18 (21 in some areas) to
register and become a member of our site.
Corporate
changes.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset or stock sale,
bankruptcy, or other asset transfer (regardless of legal formality),
any of our assets may be transferred to a third party, including
personal information collected from visitors to our Web site.
