Privacy Statement
The Internet
contains a wealth of information, unfortunately, it may also contain personal details about you that you
don't want everyone to know. For example, your real name (lots of people on the Internet use aliases,
alter egos or nicknames), street address, phone number, or e-mail address. When you go online, sites
you visit may be gathering information about you without your knowledge.
PRIVACY POLICY
Our Privacy Policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. This policy
statement tells you how we collect information from you and how we use it. Using the Internet
should be a fun experience and we want to help you make it so.
The information you provide for your personal use on this web site is not shared with anyone nor
any other company. Any information you supply to this web site such as your email address, your name
or any other personal information is NEVER given or SOLD to any other organization or person.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing
the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve up" Web pages -- automatically identify your
computer by its IP address.
Our servers collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate
information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When someone request a page from
our servers the server will log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to
anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged, but the user
remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is
necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service,
site, customers or others.
USE OF COOKIES
What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's
hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your
preferences while you're at our site. The use of cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find
them at most major Web sites.
By showing how and when guests use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which
are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of
visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the
information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users needs.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all
cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the web site
may not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. We do not control these cookies. The use
of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Users should be aware that when you are on our web site, you could be directed to other sites that
are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from throughout our web site that take you outside our
service.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online --- for example, via
message boards or chat --- that information can be collected and used by people you don't know.
While we strive to protect user's personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security
of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.
