1. Personal Information You

Email
Information
If you choose

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, to monitor the use of the

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.

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 on our "Contact Us" web page.
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

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 States 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.
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.

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.
