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 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

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.

database by emailing us at the usual
address.
What

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.

information on topics that may be useful to the users of our

Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and
interaction on any other web site, including web sites, which

rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies
before proceeding.

Our Commitment To Data Security:
Please note that your
information will be 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.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out

discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as
technically feasible.

surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or
contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore

prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of

you can use this service only in conjunction with permission
and guidance from your parents or

Acquisition or Changes in
Ownership
In
the event that the web site (or a substantial portion of
its assets) is acquired, your information would be
considered part of those assets, and may be part of those
assets that are transferred.
Policy Modifications
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 will not use the personal
information you have submitted to us under this Privacy
Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with
this Privacy Policy, without your prior
consent.
