Privacy Policy
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 the
following information:
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.
Web Site Use Information Similar to other 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, monitoring the use of our website, 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.
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. 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.
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.
Third Party Advertisements We also use third party advertisements to support this site.
These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about
your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to
you.
For example: Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of the DART
cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on your visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users
may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

information used by these companies, go to http://www.networkadvertising.org/

are able to interact with our site as well as other websites.

information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with
