PRIVACY POLICY - TERMS OF USE
The Information We Collect
The information gathered by our website generally falls into
three categories: (1) information supplied by visitors to the
site when they register or initiate transactions (2) tracking
information gathered as visitors navigate through the site (3)
third-party providers, whose sites are featured on and accessed
via our site, may gather information as well. The information
you provide us during a visit to our website helps us to improve
the quality and utility of our site. The more information you
share with us, the better we can serve your needs.
Email Addresses
If you provide us your email address, from time to time we may
send you emails about new products and services, or offers that
we believe will interest you. Though we hope you'll find this
information useful, if you do not wish to receive such email,
please indicate, when you give us your email address, that you'd
prefer not to receive such information or offers. We will also
use your email address to answer any email you send us, or to
follow up on your visit to our site. Such follow-ups may include
inquiries on transactions or submissions of information that
appear incomplete. Of course, you can always elect not to
receive future emails by replying to the email with
"unsubscribe" written in the subject area.
Cookies
To help us tailor our site to the needs and interests of our
visitors, we keep track of the pages visited by our users by
placing a small entry in a text file, called a cookie, on your
hard drive. The cookie contains an ID number that allows us to
track the pages you've visited on our site. We aggregate this
data with data on the pages visited by other users to track
overall visitor traffic patterns. We use this information to
improve our site by making it more responsive to the needs of
our users. The help function on most browsers contains
information on how to set your browser to notify you before
accepting a cookie or to disable cookies entirely. However, if
you don't accept cookies, you won't be able to take advantage of
various features on our site that are available to other
visitors.
Browser Level Information
Our Web server automatically collects your IP address when you
request pages from our server. Your IP address is a number that
is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your
computer so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be
sent to you. Your IP address does not tell us who you are. We
also collect information on the operating system you're running
on your computer and the Web browser software you're using to
access our site so we can optimize our site for the most popular
operating systems and Web browsers. And, because we like to know
how you found our site, we keep track of where you came from.
Information Collected by Third Parties
Of course, our site includes links to other Web sites, and
provides access to products and services offered by third
parties, whose privacy policies we don't control. When you
access another Web site or purchase products or services or
conduct other transactions through our Web site, use of any
information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the
operator of the site you're visiting or the provider of such
products or services. The provider's privacy practices may
differ from ours. If you can't find the privacy policy of any of
our provider partners via a link either from the site's home
page or from the pages on which the products or services are
offered, you should contact the provider directly for more
information.
Security
The information we collect from our visitors is stored in
databases we control. Physical access to the servers on which we
store visitor information is restricted. However, as effective
as modern security practices are, no physical or electronic
security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the
security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information
you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted over the
Internet.
Disclosure of Information
We may occasionally release information about our visitors when
release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our
Visitor Agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety
of visitors to our site, our customers, the public or our
website. As our business grows, we may buy or sell various
assets. In the unlikely event that our website, one of its
business units, or substantially all of its assets are acquired
by another company, the information on our visitors would be
among the transferred assets.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is subject to change. The Web is an evolving
medium. If we need to change our privacy policy at some point in
the future, we'll post the new policy promptly. If at any point
we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from what was stated at the time it was collected, the
changes in our policy will be posted on this page. By using our
website, you agree that your visit to our site, and any dispute
over privacy, is governed by the then-current version of the
Online Privacy Policy and our Visitor Agreement. Questions or
Complaints If you have any questions about, or complaints that
concern, this Online Privacy Policy, please contact us. One of
our representatives will respond to your inquiries or help
resolve any dispute concerning this Online Privacy Policy.
