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 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 that we collect online and maintain in our database by

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.
