Our basic Privacy Policy
Our
Privacy Policy was developed as
an extension of our commitment
to combine the highest-quality
products and services with the
highest level of integrity in
dealing with our clients and
partners. The Policy is designed
to assist you in understanding
how we collect, use and
safeguard the personal
information you provide to us
and to assist you in making
informed decisions when using
our site and our products and
services. This statement will be
continuously assessed against
new technologies, business
practices and our customers'
needs.
What Information Do
We Collect?
When you visit our Web site
you may provide us with two
types of information: personal
information you knowingly choose
to disclose that is collected on
an individual basis and Web site
use information collected on an
aggregate basis as you and
others browse our Web site.
Credit Card Information
If you
choose to purchase products or
services from us or our
partners, you may need to give
personal information and
authorization to obtain
information from various credit
services. For example, you may
need to provide the following
information:
- Name
- Mailing
Address
- E-Mail
Address
- Credit
Card Number
- Home and
Busines Phone Number
- Other
Personal Information (i.e.

E-Mail Information
In addition
to providing the foregoing
information to our partners, if
you choose to correspond further
with us through email, we may
retain the content of your email
messages together with your
email address and our responses.
We provide the same protections
for these electronic
communications that we employ in
the maintenance of information
received by mail and telephone.
Similar to other commercial
Web sites, our Web site utilizes
a standard technology called
"cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and
Web server logs to collect
information about how our Web
site is used. Information
gathered through cookies and Web
server logs may include the date
and time of visits, the pages
viewed, time spent at our Web
site, and the Web sites visited
just before and just after our
Web site. This information is
collected on an aggregate basis.
None of this information is
associated with you as an
individual.
How Do We Use the
Information That You Provide to
Us?
Broadly speaking, we use
personal information for
purposes of administering our
business activities, providing
customer service and making
available other products and
services to our customers and
prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use
the information we collect to
notify you about important
changes to our Web site, new
services and special offers we
think you will find valuable.
The lists used to send you
product and service offers are
developed and managed under our
traditional corporate standards
designed to safeguard the
security and privacy of our
customers' personal information.
As a customer, you will be given
the opportunity, at least once
annually, to notify us of your
desire not to receive these
offers.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of Web
browser software that allows Web
servers to recognize the
computer used to access a Web
site. Cookies are small pieces
of data that are stored by a
user's Web browser on the user's
hard drive. Cookies can remember
what information a user accesses
on one Web page to simplify
subsequent interactions with
that Web site by the same user
or to use the information to
streamline the user's
transactions on related Web
pages. This makes it easier for
a user to move from Web page to
Web page and to complete
commercial transactions over the
Internet.
How Do We Use
Information We Collect from
Cookies?
We use Web site browser
software tools such as cookies
and Web server logs to gather
information about our Web site
users' browsing activities, in
order to constantly improve our
Web site and better serve our
customers. This information
assists us to design and arrange
our Web pages in the most
user-friendly manner and to
continually improve our Web site
to better meet the needs of our
customers and prospective
customers.
Cookies Help Us Collect
Important Business and Technical
Statistics
The information in the
cookies lets us trace the paths
followed by users to our Web
site as they move from one page
to another. Web server logs
allow us to count how many
people visit our Web site and
evaluate our Web site's visitor
capacity. We do not use these
technologies to capture your
individual email address or any
personally identifying
information about you although
they do permit us to send
focused online banner
advertisements or other such
responses to you.
Sharing Information with
Affiliates
From time to time you may
notice offers from outside
companies advertised on our Web
site. We take measures to select
product or service providers
that are responsible and afford
privacy protections to their
customers. However, we cannot
make any representations about
the practices and policies of
these companies.
Notice of New Services and
Changes
Occasionally, we may also use
the information we collect to
notify you about important
changes to our Web site, new
services and special offers we
think you will find valuable. As
our client, you will be given
the opportunity to notify us of
your desire not to receive these
offers by clicking on a response
box when you receive such an
offer or by sending us a ticket
request to
our sales
department.
How
Do We Secure Information
Transmissions?
When you send confidential
personal credit card information
to us on our Web site, a secure
server software which we have
licensed encrypts all
information you input before it
is sent to us. The information
is scrambled en route and
decoded once it reaches our Web
site.
Other email
that you may send to us may not
be secure unless we advise you
that security measures will be
in place prior to your
transmitting the information.
For that reason, we ask that you
do not send confidential
information such as Social
Security or account numbers to
us through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your
Information?
Information Security. We
utilize encryption/security
software to safeguard the
confidentiality of personal
information we collect from
unauthorized access or
disclosure and accidental loss,
alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information
Protection Practices
Periodically, our operations
and business practices are
reviewed for compliance with
corporate policies and
procedures governing the
security, confidentiality and
quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and
Expectations
Our
corporate values, ethical
standards, policies and
practices are committed to the
protection of customer
information. In general, our
business practices limit
employee access to confidential
information, and limit the use
and disclosure of such
information to authorized
persons, processes and
transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct
Your Information?
You may request access to all
your personally identifiable
information that we collect
online and maintain in our
database by creating a
support
ticket for our sales department.
Do We Disclose Information to
Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate
information about our customers,
sales, Web site traffic patterns
and related Web site information
to our affiliates or reputable
third parties, but this
information will not include
personally identifying data,
except as otherwise provided in
this Privacy Policy.
What About Legally Compelled
Disclosure of Information?
We may
disclose information when
legally compelled to do so, in
other words, when we, in good
faith, believe that the law
requires it or for the
protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not
responsible for the practices
employed by Web sites linked to
or from our Web site nor the
information or content contained
therein. Often links to other
Web sites are provided solely as
pointers to information on
topics that may be useful to the
users of our Web site.
Please
remember that when you use a
link to go from our Web site to
another Web site, our Privacy
Policy is no longer in effect.
Your browsing and interaction on
any other Web site, including
Web sites which have a link on
our Web site, is subject to that
Web site's own rules and
policies. Please read over those
rules and policies before
proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our
Web site you consent to our
collection and use of your
personal information as
described in this Privacy
Policy. If we change our privacy
policies and procedures, we will
post those changes on our Web
site to keep you aware of what
information we collect, how we
use it and under what
circumstances we may disclose
it.
