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.

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.

to time. If/when changes are made to this
privacy policy, we will email users who

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.
