Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website. This policy may change from time to time (see REVISIONS TO PRIVACY POLICY AND TERMS OF USE). Your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
The information we learn from visitors to our Website (“customers” or “users”) helps us personalize and continually improve our services to you. Here is a non-exclusive list of the types of information we gather about our customers:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Website, such as names, e-mail addresses and other personal information. You can choose not to disclose certain information, but then you might be limited in the services you can take advantage of on our Website. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future features for you, and communicating with you.
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. When you enter the Website, we collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all Website visitors. In addition, like many Websites, we store certain information from your browser using “cookies.” Cookies are small bits of information stored on the user’s computer to identify the user’s preferences. Our Website may use cookies and similar tools to customize the content and advertising you receive based on, among other things, the personal information you have provided.
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we may receive a confirmation when you open an e-mail from the Company. We also may compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers.
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below:
We employ other companies and individuals to perform certain services on our behalf. Examples of such third party services may include analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments (if any), and providing customer service. These service providers have access only to the customer information reasonably necessary for the performance of their functions.
It is possible that the Company may, one day, become an acquisition target. In such a transaction, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets and may also be reviewed by the proposed purchaser as part of the evaluation process.
We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others, including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you give us.
The Website may contain links to other Websites. The Company is not responsible for the privacy practices of other Websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Website to read the privacy statements of each and every Website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Company.

We encourage parents to monitor their children’s Internet usage and/or to use web filtering technology to supervise their children’s access to the Internet.
