We committed to your privacy. This document is designed to assist you in understanding in how we collect and use information collected by this website. This policy may change over time. Amendments to this statement will be posted at this URL and will be effective when posted. Your continued use of this site following the posting of any amendment, modification or change shall constitute your acceptance thereof.

Information Collected

As you navigate within our Website, we will be collecting and tracking personal information, either by asking you to tell us something about yourself (such as your name, and email) or by using data-tracking software which includes but not limited to your IP address and tells us what parts of the website you have browsed.

Use of Information By This Site

All information collected is used to enhance your site experience, or to apply special benefits that we feel will be of interest to you. Your personal information will not be sold to third parties for e-mail marketing or telemarketing campaigns unless you grant us permission first.

Personal information about you (submitted to us voluntarily) may be used to contact you again either by online electronic communication (such as e-mail), or by regular mail or telephone. We will also be collecting and tracking information about activities in our Website on an aggregate (i.e., group basis). We will not know or keep track of precisely who you are as you use the site. The data is used to track what areas of the site are most frequently used to help us improve the site in the future. When we share such information with other companies, it is not traceable to any particular user and will not be used to contact you again.

Use of IP Address
We may use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Website. We may also use your IP Address to help identify possible misuse or misappropriation.

Use of Cookies
When you view our Website we might store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a “cookie” or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you navigate a Website as easily as possible. We use cookies for remembering user names, to identify users and their preferences, tracking click streams and for load balancing. Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster service, consistent, updated results and a more personalized site experience. You have the option of setting your browser to reject cookies. However, doing this will hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on our site.
