Privacy
Policy
We have created this privacy statement in
order to demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment
to the privacy of personal information provided by those
visiting and interacting with this web site. We hold the
privacy of your personal information in the highest
regard. The following discloses our information gathering
and dissemination practices for this
website.
We
recognize the importance of protecting your
privacy
and
our policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we
collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide
to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using
our site. This policy will be continuously assessed against new
technologies, business practices and our customers'
needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit this web site you may provide
us with two types of information: personal information
you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an
individual basis and Web site use information collected
on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web
site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to
Provide
Registration
Information
When you register for any of our products,
services or newsletters you will provide us information
about yourself.
Email
Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may
retain the content of your email messages together with your
email address and our responses. We provide the same
protections for these electronic communications that we employ
in the maintenance of information received by mail and
telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our
Web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies"
(see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web
server log files to collect information about how our Web
site is used. Information gathered through cookies and
Web server logs may include the date and time of visits,
the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web
sites visited just before and just after our Web
site.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to
Us?
Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing the products
and services you requested, to process your
payment,
to
monitor the use of the service, our marketing and promotional
efforts and
improve
our content and service offerings, and customize our site's
content, layout, services and for other lawful purposes. These
uses improve our site and better tailor it to meet your
needs.
Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an
aggregate basis. Personally identifiable information or
business information will not be shared with parties except as
required by law.
Occasionally, we may also use the
information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Website, new services, and special offers
we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any
time if you do not wish to receive these offers by
emailing us at the link provided on the
newsletter.
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.
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 Information?
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.
What
About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web
Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites
linked to or from our Web site or the information or content
contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided
solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful
to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when 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, including
web sites, which have a link on our Website, is subject to that
Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules
and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our
collection and use of your personal information as described in
this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this privacy
policy at any time with or without notice.
Our Commitment To Data
Security:
Please note that your information will be stored and processed
on our computers in the United
States. The laws on holding personal data in the
United Kingdom may be less 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 collect
online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This
site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not
receive future messages. After unsubscribing we will
discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as
technically feasible.
A Special Note About Children
Children
are not eligible to use our services
unsupervised
and we ask that children
(under
the age of 14) do not submit any personal information to us. If
you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction
with 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.
