What Are Cookies?
General description: 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. Any 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. Most 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. 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.
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 address on our
contact 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 threatening the
safety of our users and/or the public.

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 web site 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 web site, is subject to that site's own rules and
policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
