2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a

date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our

Broadly speaking, we use personal information

providing the products and services you requested, to process
your payment, , to monitor the use of the service, our
marketing and promotional efforts and improve our content and

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.

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.

information that we collect online and maintain in our database
by emailing us at the usual address.

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.

contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided
solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful

web site, including web sites, which have a link on our

proceeding.

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.

prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of

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
