Privacy Policy Statement
The owner of this website strives to offer visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and
personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never
sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third
party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide
information when you register for access to certain portions of our
site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you
make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other
interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, our company also
collects information automatically and through the use of electronic
tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may
log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie
technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit.
Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and
password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each
time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a
particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather information through other
means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept
cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions
of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password,
and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to
your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your
visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We
respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services
(e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are
most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared
with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information
does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you
or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on The
owner of this website, and our company web sites to communicate with
you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms
of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by The
owner of this website and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by The owner of this
website, and our company web sites may also be used for other
purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for
the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may
access such information. We will use your information only as
permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to
develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may
be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your
information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection
with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
The owner of this website and our company web sites expect its
partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our
users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our
partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers
accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data
collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to
our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame of content that
is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through our
company web sites you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by
other parties. The owner of this website is not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you.
For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and
may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether
you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties
and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. The
owner of this website does not control the use of this technology by
third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible
for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities
are beyond the control of The owner of this website and this policy.
Children
The owner of this website does not knowingly collect or solicit
Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 13
except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any
information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we
will delete that information immediately. If you believe The owner
of this website has any information from or about anyone under 13,
please contact us at the address listed below.
Changes to this Policy
The owner of this website reserves the right to change this policy
at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your
continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these
terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected
prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the
rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.
Contractual and Legal Rights
This statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended to
and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on
behalf of any party. |
