Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience on the Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use the Internet's vast array of information, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence. We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how our company collects information from all end users of our services (the "Services") - those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts ("Visitors") as well as those who may purchase Products ("Clients") - what we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Clients have concerning the collection and use of such information. We request that you read this Privacy Policy carefully. Personal Information Our Company Collects and How It Is Used Introduction : Our company collects information in different ways from Visitors and Clients who access the various parts of our website. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Products and Services, and do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below. Registration : Clients may be asked to provide certain personal information when they purchase Products or Services including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number). The personal information collected from Clients during the registration or process is used to manage each Client account (such as for billing purposes). This information is NEVER shared with third parties. However, in instances where our company and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. We may also generate non- identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information Clients provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Clients). As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services. Partners and Sponsors :  Some products and services may be offered to Visitors and Clients in conjunction with an affiliate, independent contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Clients some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. In these instances, you will be notified before any such data is collected or transferred and may decide not to use that particular service or feature. Additionally, our partners may have advertisements or co-branded Web Pages that are co- sponsored by an affiliate, independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. Our company may share non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described above), but not personal information, with such partners in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered. Online Shopping : On our website, you can purchase products and services or register to receive materials, such as a newsletter, catalog or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. If you order services or products directly from our company we will use the personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order. Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or Clients send email inquiries to our company, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Our company does not share the return email address with any third party. Voluntary Client Surveys :  We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys. We encourage our Clients to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our client surveys is voluntary. We may take the information we receive from individuals responding to our Client Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other Clients we may have, to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties. Special Cases : It is our company's policy not to use or share the personal information about Visitors or Clients in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, we may disclose required information about Clients, or information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services in our sole discretion to law enforcement agencies, or to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Child Online Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information. We will disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against anyone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect our company and our Clients. Commitment to Data Security :  Services and Web sites we sponsor have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information.

Revisions to This Policy : Our company reserves the right to revise, amend, or modify this policy, our Terms Of Service agreement, and our other policies and agreements at any time and in any manner, by updating this posting.
