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.

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 usual address.
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.

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites

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.

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

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

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.

discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as
technically feasible.
