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.

Cookies?
As you

the site uses cookies to
differentiate you from other

use cookies to prevent you from

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.

We do
not share, sell, lend

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.

in effect. Your browsing and

site's own rules and policies.
Please read over those rules

appropriate physical,
electronic, and
managerial procedures to

shipping address), and
demographic information (such
as zip code, age level).

used to notify the winners and
award prizes. Survey

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.

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

here, so be sure to check back
periodically. However, please
