We have created this privacy statement in
order to demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment

We recognise the importance of protecting

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.
What Information Do We
Collect? When you visit this web site you may provide
us with two types of information: personal information
you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an
individual basis and Web site use information collected
on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web
site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to
Provide

will provide us information about
yourself.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may
retain the content of your email messages together with your
email address and our responses. We provide the same
protections for these electronic communications that we employ
in the maintenance of information received by mail and
telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our
Web site utilises 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.
How Do We Use the Information That You
Provide to Us? 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.
Furthermore, such information may be shared
with others on an aggregate basis. Personally
identifiable information or business information will not
be shared with parties except as required by
law.
Occasionally, we may also use the
information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Website, new services, and special offers
we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any
time if you do not wish to receive these offers by
emailing us at the link provided on the newsletter.
What Are
Cookies? 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.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies? 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: 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.
Sharing and Selling
Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the
information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email
addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent
it is necessary to process transactions or provide services
that you have requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your
Information? You may request access to all your
personally identifiable information that we collect
online and maintain in our database by emailing us at the
usual address.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of
Information? 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.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web
Site? 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.
Your Consent: 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.
Our Commitment To Data
Security: Please note that your information will be
stored and processed on our computers in the United
States. The laws on holding personal data in the United
States may be less stringent than the laws of your
Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure
the correct use of information, we have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we
collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out: This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so
that they will not receive future messages. After
unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the particular
messages as soon as technically
feasible.
Surveys &
Contests: From time-to-time our site requests
information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or
not to disclose this information. Information requested
may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as
zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to
notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information
will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the
use and satisfaction of this site.
A Special Note About
Children: Children are not eligible to use our
services unsupervised and we ask that children (under the
age of 14) do not submit any personal information to us.
If you are a minor, you can use this service only in
conjunction with permission and guidance from your
parents or guardians.
Acquisition or Changes
in Ownership: In the 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.
Policy
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
so. We will post any changes here, so be sure to check
back periodically. However, please be assured that if the
Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use the
personal information you have submitted to us under this
Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially
inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior
consent.
