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.
How
Can You Access and Correct Your
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.
What About Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not
responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to

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.
Your

that your information will be stored and processed on our
computers. To prevent unauthorised
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
This site
allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not receive
future messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue
sending the particular messages as soon as technically
feasible.
Surveys
& Contests
From
time-to-time our site requests 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 post 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

are not eligible to use our services unsupervised and we ask
that children (under the age of 16) 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
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.
