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

except to the extent it is
necessary to process
transactions or provide
services that you have
requested.
How Can You Access and Correct
Your

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

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.

This site allows
visitors to unsubscribe so that
they will not receive future

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.

eligible to use our
services
unsupervised
and we ask that

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. 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.
