We

and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of

What Personal Information Do We Collect?
Information
You Provide. We receive and store information you enter.
We use the information that you provide for such purposes as
responding to your requests, customizing future services, improving
our website, and communicating with you. In addition, if you
choose, we may share your information with other companies who
provide goods or services that you are interested in. Please
see the “opt-in/opt-out” selection in Section 4
of this policy.
Cookies.
Like many websites, we use "cookies". Cookies are
small programs that we transfer to your hard drive that allow
us to recognize you and to provide you with a customized shopping
experience. If you do not want us to use cookies, you can easily
disable them by going to the toolbar of your web browser, and
clicking on the “help” button. Follow the instructions
that will prevent the browser from accepting cookies, or set
the browser to inform you when you receive a new cookie. In
addition, you may visit this and other websites anonymously
through the use of utilities provided by other private companies.
Other
Information. Every computer has an IP (Internet Protocol)
address. IP addresses of computers used to visit this site are
noted. In addition, we automatically collect other information
such as email addresses, browser types, operating systems, and
the URL addresses of sites clicked to and from this site.

How Do We Use Your Information?
Newsletters
and Special Offers. We may send you a newsletter or
special offers from time to time, unless you choose to “opt-out”
of receiving such offers. In addition, we may also send you
special offers from other companies. Again, you may “opt-out”.
If we send you offers from other businesses, we do not share
your personal information with them. The offers come directly
through us. Please see the “opt-in/opt-out” selection
at the end of this policy.
Business Transfers. As we continue to develop
our business, we might sell or buy company assets. In such transactions,
user information generally is one of the transferred business
assets. In the unlikely event that we are acquired, user information
will be one of the transferred assets.
Law Enforcement. If we receive a lawful court
order to release account or other personal information then
we will comply with the law. We will also release information
when necessary to protect the life, safety or property of others.
This includes exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
3.
How Do We Protect the Security of Your Information?
We use
a firewall to protect against unlawful intrusion.
We limit access to your information on a “need to know”
basis.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access
to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when
finished using a shared computer.
No system can guarantee absolute security, just as the finest
lock can not guarantee physical security. However, we take every
reasonable precaution to assure that your personal data is secure.

It is
your choice whether to receive emails or special offers from
