Collecting Information
When
you visit our Website, we may collect information about you that you
voluntarily choose to share with us. This identification
information may include, but is not limited to, your name, your
physical address, your email address, your telephone and fax numbers.
What may be less obvious to you is that, when you visit our Website,
we may collect data involving your usage through the use of cookies
(i.e. small text files placed on your computer by a Website), Web
server logs, and other Web tools. This technology allows us to
customize your online experience, as well as track your Internet
use. The tracking data we collect may include, but is not
limited to, the date and time you visit, the time you spend, the Web
pages you view, the other Websites you visit, your search queries,
and basic information about your computer, such as your Internet
Protocol (IP) address, your domain name, your browser type, and the
name of your Internet service provider. You may deactivate
cookies if you do not want your browsing to be tracked, but doing so
may hinder your online experience.
When visiting our Website, you may be directed, through hyperlinks,
to other Websites that are beyond our control. Furthermore,
when you are visiting our Website, other companies, such as third
party advertisers and sponsors, may be gathering information about
you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the collection of
information by those other companies and Websites. Although we
encourage third parties to provide their own privacy policies, we
are not responsible for their activities, such as how they handle
the information they collect online.

Using Information Collected
We
primarily use the identification information you voluntarily share
with us to customize your online experience and to do what you have
asked of us. We also use your identification information to
tell you about our products and services, but you may instruct us
not to send communications to you by following the procedure
indicated below under Contact Us. On occasion, we use your
identification information to validate your identity. As for
usage tracking data, we primarily use that information to operate
and improve our Website, and to further our marketing efforts.
As a general rule, we do not share your information with
unaffiliated third parties. We may, however, share your
information with our own personnel and our service providers to the
extent necessary to fulfill your requests. We may also share
your information with our affiliates, but we will not share it with
unaffiliated third parties for direct marketing purposes. We
reserve the right to disclose your information under limited
circumstances, such as to cooperate with law enforcement or judicial
authorities as required by law or legal process, to protect our own
legal rights, or to protect the public good.
Whenever you are online, you run the risk that the information you
give out will fall into the wrong hands. Although we implement
and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to
safeguard your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any
information you provide to us. We accept no responsibility or
liability for the activities of third parties.
