This Privacy Policy is designed
to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure
of information that you may provide via this site. Please be sure to
read this entire Privacy Policy before using, or submitting information,
to this site. This site is intended for use by residents of the United
States.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection,
use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy
Policy.
Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not
knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age group.
We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the
Internet and the information they disclose to Web sites.
Active Information Collection
Like many Web sites, this site actively collects information from its
visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you
to communicate with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and or/chat rooms.
Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable
information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with
you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number
and so on. Some areas of this site may require you to submit information
in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter
subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing) or to participate in
a particular activity (such as sweepstakes or other promotions). You
will be informed at each information collection point what information
is required and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively
collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information)
using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses,
cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
This site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. IP Address is a
number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so
you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally
identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic
(changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static
(unique to a particular user's computer). We use your IP address to diagnose
problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the
fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and
administer and improve the site.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to
your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and
your preferences.
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs," and "clickstream" data)
are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market
research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the
content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to
communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our
marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in
this Privacy Policy. |
