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

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 & 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 will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this
site.

unsupervised and we ask that children (under the age of 14) do not submit any personal information to us. If

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.
