      Depending on your use of the website or other services, we may make available from time to time various websites (together with associated and successor websites and services, the "Site"), through which we may collect two types of information: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.

      Personally Identifiable Information.

      Non-personally identifiable information is information that by it self cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information (e.g., age, profession or gender). Non-personally identifiable information may also include user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of the Site.

      WHERE AND WHEN IS INFORMATION COLLECTED ON THE SITE (INCLUDING THROUGH USE OF COOKIES, LOG FILES AND ACTION TAGS)?

Cookies are used to personalize your experience on the Site (such as dynamically generating content on web pages specifically designed for you), to assist you in using the Sites (such as saving time by not having to reenter your name upon each visit to the Site), and to allow us to statistically monitor how you are using the Site to help us improve our online offerings. We also may use cookies to target certain advertisements to your browser which may be of interest to you or to determine the popularity of certain content. In addition to cookies that we place on your computer, cookies may also be placed on your computer by third parties that we use to display or serve advertisements on the Site or to collect non-personally identifiable information in order to provide advertising-related services. In the course of serving advertisements on this website, our third-party advertisers may place or recognize unique cookies on your browser.

      You do not have to accept cookies to use the Site. Although most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, you may reset your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to reject cookies generally. Most browsers offer instructions on how to do so in the "Help" section of the toolbar. While you are not required to accept our cookies to access the Site, if you reject cookies, certain products, offerings, features, or resources of the Site may not work properly and you may experience some loss of convenience. We also collect non-personally identifiable information through our Internet log files, which record data such as user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of the Site. This information may be used to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to monitor the use of the Site, and to gather general demographic information. We may link this information to personally identifiable information for these and other purposes such as personalizing your experience on the Site and evaluating the Site in general.

Action tags are invisible to you, and any portion of the Site, including advertisements, or email sent on our behalf, may contain action tags.

      We want your information (including personally identifiable information) to remain as secure as possible. Therefore, the Site has implemented reasonable security measures in an effort to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control. We use reasonable networking, server, database, and procedural mechanisms in an effort to safeguard the integrity and privacy of data. In addition, when you enter sensitive information into our forms (such as credit card numbers) we encrypt it using 128-bit secure socket layer technology (SSL). However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. There is also some risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

      We also protect user information off-line. All of our users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted passwords to access personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Periodically, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users and visitors and we will continue to review and implement new technologies as necessary to maintain the security of our networks and servers.

      You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove every record of the information you provided from our system. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your personally identifiable information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. However, after receiving your request, all personally identifiable information stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably practicable.

We may also make non-significant changes to this Privacy Policy that generally will not affect our use of your personally identifiable information.

Your continued use of the Site following the notification or posting of changes to this Privacy Policy will mean you accept those changes.

      DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVER HOW THIRD PARTIES DEAL WITH INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM ME?

      This privacy policy does not cover how any third parties with whom we may be working deal with information that they may collect from you. Use of that information by such third parties will be governed, if at all, by their own privacy policy. For example, in connection with any co-branded promotions with third parties, we do not control and are not responsible for the use the other party may make of information that they may collect from you.
