We have created this Privacy Policy in order to
demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. This
Privacy Policy explains our practices with respect
to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal
and non-personal information provided by visitors
to our Web site. By using this site, you signify
your assent to our privacy practices and the terms
and conditions of our Web site. If this policy
is not agreeable to you, please do not use this
site.
What
type information is collected?
We only collect personal information from visitors
to our Web site when they voluntarily provide
it to us by completing our registration form
or electing to use one of our services. We may
require visitors to provide us with information
including, but not limited to, their name, physical
address, email address, birth date, credit card
number, credit card expiration date, username,
password, and on occasion a unique identifier.
When visitors access our Web site, certain non-personal
information may be collected from them including,
but not limited to, their browser type (e.g.,
FireFox, Netscape or Internet Explorer), operating
system (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), IP address,
and the domain name from which they accessed
the site (e.g., google.com). In addition, we
may collect information about visitors' browsing
behavior, such as the date and time they visit
the Web site, the areas or pages of our Web
site that they visit, the amount of time spent
viewing the site, the number of times the visitor
returns to the site, and click-stream data.
We use transparent tracking pixels to determine
the number of Web site visitors that have been
sent to us through our affiliate network. We
do not track any information about visitors
once they leave our site. We may use cookies
(small text files that are stored on visitors
computers when they access our Web site) to
collect this information. Information collected
through cookies may be combined with visitors'
personal information. We may also allow unaffiliated
third parties, such as advertisers, to serve
cookies to visitors of our Web site. Visitors
are always free to decline cookies, but in doing
so they may not be able to use certain features
on our Web site. The "help" segment
of the toolbar on most browsers explains how
to configure a browser to not accept new cookies,
how to have the browser inform a user when they
receive a new cookie, and how to erase cookies
from their hard drives.
In
what way do we use your personal and non-personal
information?
Our goal in collecting personal information
is to provide visitors with the most personalized
Web experience possible and our advertisers
with an efficient means to reach the right audience.
By knowing a little about our visitors, we are
able to deliver more relevant content and advertisements,
and provide better services. We may use information
collected from visitors to our Web site for
any of the following purposes: (1) to send visitors
information and promotional materials about
our company, (2) to send visitors information
and promotional materials from our marketing
partners and third parties (such as advertisers
on our Web site), (3) to deliver targeted display
advertisements and offers by email (by matching
criteria provided by our advertisers with information
collected from our visitors), (4) to contact
visitors to our Web site when necessary, (5)
to allow one-click purchases or access to proprietary
content by pre-populating fields, within registration
or other transaction screens, with a visitor's
name, billing address, and credit or charge
card information (among other things), as provided
by that visitor, (6) to help diagnose problems
with our server, (7) to administer our Web site,
(8) to conduct internal reviews of our site
(e.g., to determine the number of visitors to
the site), (9) to help us better understand
visitors' use of our site, and (10) to protect
the security or integrity of our site. Non-personal
information will be used for purposes of conducting
internal reviews of the site, monitoring the
site, and providing a greater online experience
for our visitors.
What
security measures do we take to protect your
data?
To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data integrity, and ensure the appropriate use
of information, we have put in place certain
physical, electronic, and managerial procedures
to safeguard and secure the information we collect
from visitors to our Web site. We allow access
to personal information only to persons and
entities engaging in activities provided for
by this Privacy Policy. Visitors should consider
any communication that they transmit to us (such
as data, questions or answers, comments, suggestions,
or communications submitted to a chat room)
to be non-confidential. We will not be liable
or responsible if information that belongs to
a visitor is intercepted and used by an unintended
recipient.
We
protect children's privacy.
Protecting the privacy of children is important
to us. For that reason we do not structure any
part of our site to attract anyone under the
age of 18 (21 in some areas) and we do not allow
anyone under the age of 18 (21 in some areas)
to register and become a member of our site.
Corporate
changes.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset
or stock sale, bankruptcy, or other asset transfer
(regardless of legal formality), any of our
assets may be transferred to a third party,
including personal information collected from
visitors to our Web site.
