Methods of Collecting Personal Information:
We may collect information in several different ways from our Site:
We may collect information about your computer and your visits to this Site such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views. We may use this information in the administration of this Site, to improve the Site’s usability, and for marketing purposes.
As an initial matter, you may browse our Site without submitting any personal information. If you choose to provide us with your personally identifiable information such as your name, company, email address, and phone number. We keep all of your personally identifiable information in secure online and offline facilities.
If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. From time to time, we also may ask users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes.

In addition, we may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Finally, our Site also may contain links, advertisements, or other interactional tools to websites that are operated by other companies or persons. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of other websites or third-party website functionality. This Policy statement only applies to information collected and maintained by us.
Our Use of Cookies:
We may use cookies on this Site. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. Some of these cookie files will be stored on your hard drive even after you close your browser and other files may be temporary files that will be deleted when you close your Internet browser. We will not, however, attempt to read any cookies or files that may be on your computer, including cookies that may have been placed on your computer by other websites that you may have visited.
We may send a cookie which may be stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this Site, to improve the Site’s usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognize your computer when you visit our Site.
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites.
Generally, We Use Cookies to:
(1) Remind us of who you are and to access your account information (stored on our secured computers) in order to permit the tailoring of the Site to better match your interests and/or preferences. These cookies will be stored on your computer when you visit our Site, and may be modified while you browse our Site.
(2) Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing our Site is given a unique cookie that is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered user versus by an unregistered user, and to help target our services and advertisements based on your interests and behavior.
(3) Measure certain traffic patterns, such as which areas of our Site you have visited and your visiting patterns. This information, however, is only gathered in aggregate form – that is, this aggregated information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We use this research to understand how our users’ habits are similar or different from one another so that we can make each new experience on our Site a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our Site.

(d) provide other companies with statistical information about our users – but this information will not be used to identify any individual user. We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.
In addition, we do research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files, or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis and may be shared with advertisers or business partners.

How We Protect Personal Financial Information:
Keeping your personal financial information private is vitally important to us.
Knowing that you use certain services or features may help us to offer you better and more relevant content and advertisements. But as with all personally identifiable information, we do not make this available to any third parties except as set forth in this Policy.
Security Precautions Regarding Loss, Misuse, or Alteration of Information:
Unfortunately, it is not possible for data transmissions over the Internet or wireless networks, or for any security precautions, to be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Children and Privacy:
The safety of children is very important to us. We maintain general audience Site that is designed for use by adults and that complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Specifically, we do not knowingly collect information from users under age 18.
We encourage parents to create a safe place for children on the Internet. Parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist parents in limiting access to content that may be harmful to minors. We also encourage parents to monitor their child’s use of the Internet and teach them not to disclose any personally identifiable information (including their age, appearance, school, grade, etc.) about themselves in emails, chat rooms, or on other sites, except with your knowledge and approval.
Policy Amendments:
We may update this Policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our Site. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
