2. Web Site Use
Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, this Web site
utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server 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 this Web site.
How Do I Use the Information
That You Provide ?
Broadly speaking, I use
personal information 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 customize our
site's content, layout, services and for other
lawful purposes. These uses
improve the site and better tailor it to meet your

Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an
aggregate basis. Personally identifiable information or

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 this 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 I Use Information I
Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and
browse this Web site, the site uses cookies to
differentiate you from other users. In some cases, I 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 me to calculate the aggregate
number of people visiting this Web site and which parts of
the site are most popular. This helps gather feedback to
constantly improve this Web site and better serve my
clients. Cookies do not allow gathering any personal
information about you and I 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
I do not share, sell,
lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identifies 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.
How Can You Access and Correct
Your Information?
You may request access to all
your personally identifiable information that I collect online
and maintain in our database by emailing me at the usual
address.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of
Information? I may disclose
information when legally compelled to do so, in other words,
when I, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for
the protection of my legal rights.
I may also disclose
account information when I 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 my users and the Public.
What About Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web
Site?
I am 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 this 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.
Your
Consent
By using our Web site you
consent to our collection and use of your personal information
as described in this Privacy Policy. I reserve the right to
amend this privacy policy at any time with or without
notice.
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, I have put in place appropriate
physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information I collect
online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not
receive future messages. After unsubscribing I will discontinue
sending the particular messages as soon as technically
feasible.
Surveys &
Contests
From time-to-time this site may request information from
users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys
or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has
a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include contact information (such as
name and shipping address), and demographic information (such
as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to
notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
A Special Note About
Children
Children are not eligible
to use our services unsupervised and I ask
that children (under the age of 14) do
not submit any 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
I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If and when
changes are made to this privacy policy, I will post any
changes here. However, please be assured that if the Privacy
Policy changes in the future, I 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.
