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

log files 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

for purposes of administering our business activities, 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 service offerings, and

it to meet your needs.
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.
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.
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 violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of
our users and the Public.
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
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 Website 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 Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules
and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

unsupervised and we ask that

personal information to us. If you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with permission
and guidance from your parents or guardians.
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
