Privacy Policy
By using this site, you
acknowledge that you understand and agree to the following:
Types of Information We Collect
The information we
gather is either information (for example, your name and address) that you
voluntarily supply when you register or initiate transactions, or information
gathered on usage patterns and preferences as visitors navigate the web site,
use our services such as e-mail, or read our e-mail newsletters.
Cookies
To help make our web
site more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we use a standard feature of
browser software, called a “cookie”, to assign each visitor an unique, random
number that resides on your computer. The cookie does not identify the visitor,
just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. Unless you
voluntarily identify yourself, we won't know who you are, even if we assign a
cookie to your computer as the only personal information a cookie can contain
is information you supply. A cookie cannot read unrelated data off your
computer. We use cookies to help us deliver a better, more personalized
service. For example, we use cookies to track the pages and services on our web
site visited by our users. We can build a better web site if we know which
pages and features our users are visiting and how often.
Browser Level Information and IP Addresses
Our web server
automatically collects limited information about your computer configuration
when you visit our web site, including the type of browser you use, the
operating system you are running, the resolution of your computer monitor, the
web site that referred you, and your IP address. Your IP address is a number
that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer
so that data such as the web pages you want to view can be transmitted to you.
We use IP address information for systems administration and trouble-shooting
purposes.
Other Disclosures
We may occasionally
release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply
with law, to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our sites,
the public, our customers, or our government and its employees, agents,
partners and affiliates.
