Privacy
We have
created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm
and continuing commitment to the privacy of personal
information provided by those visiting and interacting with
this web site. We hold the privacy of your personal information
in the highest regard. The following discloses our information
gathering and dissemination practices for this
website.
We
recognize the importance of protecting your privacy and our
policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we
collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide
to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using
our site. This policy will be continuously assessed against new
technologies, business practices and our customers'
needs.
Similar to other
commercial Web sites, our 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 our Web
site.
Broadly speaking,
we 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 our site and better tailor it to meet your
needs.
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.
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.
We are 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 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.
By using our Web
site you consent to our collection and use of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the
right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or without
notice.
