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.

Information We do not
share, sell, lend or lease
any of the information that

services that you have
requested.

all your personally

that we collect online and
maintain in our database by
emailing us at the usual
address.

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.

other Web sites are
provided solely as pointers
to information on topics
that may be useful to the

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,

have a link on our Website,
is subject to that Web
site's own rules and
policies. Please read over

Security:

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

particular messages as soon
as technically
feasible.

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.

include contact information
(such as name and shipping
address), and demographic
information (such as zip

information will be used to
notify the winners and
award prizes. Survey

for purposes of monitoring
or improving the use and
satisfaction of this

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.
