Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in
understanding how we collect and use the personal information you
provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when
using our site and our products and services.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with
two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose
to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Web site
use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others
browse our Web site.
1.
Personal Information You Choose to
Provide
Registration Information.
You may provide us information about yourself, your
firm or company, and your practices when you register for email
newsletters and alerts. You may also provide additional comments on
how you see our site servicing your needs and interests.
Email Information.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we
may retain the content of your email messages together with your
email address and our responses.
2.
Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site
utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs 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 and expanding our business activities,
providing customer service and making available other products and
services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers
we think you will find valuable.
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.
How Do We Use
Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you browse on our Web site, the site uses its
cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we
also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary
advertisements or requiring you 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 in order to constantly improve our Web site and
better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any
personal information about you and we do not store any personal
information that you provided to us in your cookies.
How Do We Protect Your
Information?
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of
communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send
private information to us by email. Some of the information you may
enter on our Web site may be transmitted securely via Secure Sockets
Layer SSL, 128 bit encryption services, which are enabled by
VeriSign, Inc. Pages utilizing this technology will have URLs that
start with HTTPS instead of HTTP.
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.
Certain Disclosures
We may disclosure your personal
information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe
that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply
with legal process served on us or Affiliated Parties; (b) protect
and defend our rights and property, the Site, the users of the Site,
and/or our Affiliated Parties; (c) act under circumstances to
protect the safety of users of the Site, us, or third parties.
Children Under The Age of 13
Although not intended for children, we
have attempted to make the content of this site suitable for
visitors of all ages. Any minor child should consult their
parents or guardian before viewing our site.
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 nor 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 Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules
and policies before proceeding.

collection and use of your personal information as described in this
Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we
