Similar

web server log files to

Information gathered
through cookies and Web
server logs may include the
date and time of visits,
the pages viewed, time

Broadly

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 own 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
never 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

unauthorized access,
maintain data accuracy, and
ensure the correct use of

electronic, and managerial

address), and demographic
information (such as zip or
postal code, age level).
Contact information will be
used to notify the winners
and award prizes. Survey

for purposes of monitoring
or improving the use and
satisfaction of this
