safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our
site.

1. Personal

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?
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

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 you.
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 provide services that you have requested.

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
