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. Acookie
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

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.

Our Commitment To

place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures
to safeguard and secure the
information we collect

the user therefore has a choice
whether or not to disclose this

demographic information (such as zip
code, age level). Contact information
will be used to notify the winners
and award prizes. Survey information

monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this

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
