your domain type, your IP address, and clickstream information.
Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving from This Site to another Web site. We encourage you to read the site terms and privacy statements of these linked sites as their site terms and privacy policies may differ from ours.

Privacy Policy
CONSUMER PRIVACY
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT: INDIVIDUAL
INTERNET CONSUMERS
A. Personally Identifiable Information
(PII).
Under no circumstances does This Site request or collect sensitive
PII such as an Internet user's medical/health conditions; racial or ethnic
origin; political, religious or philosophical beliefs or affiliations; trade
union membership or sex life.
B. Non-Personally Identifiable
Information (Non-PII).
When a consumer responds to or views an Internet
advertisement served by This Site (such as through third-party Web sites or
email solicitation) or visits an advertiser's web site, we send a cookie and/or
gif file ("Cookies") to assign an anonymous, unique identifier to the end user's
Internet browser. Cookies are small data files commonly used on the Internet to
help optimize and personalize the Internet end user experience and identify
repeat visitors to Web sites.
This Site uses Cookies to obtain
information about the preferences of consumers and the services they select; and
also to optimize and personalize the Internet user's experience. If the Internet
user re-visits the advertiser's site directly, This Site is able to continue to
track the user's activities.
Like most standard Web site servers, we use
log files to collect Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet
service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time
stamp. We use the information to analyze site usage, administer the site,
understand usage and navigation trends in aggregate, and determine the relevance
of content. This information, however, is not linked to any personally
identifiable information.
We also may use Internet browsing and online
purchase data associated with an anonymous identifier to develop a predictive
statistical user profile of the end user's needs and interests. This Site does
not use Cookies or log files to collect end users' names, physical addresses,
email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or
any other information which can be used to identify a specific person. We may
match the IP address and user profile with email address data obtained
separately in order to better target campaigns to meet user's interests, but
will not share this information with third parties.
This Site has
relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads and links on our
Web pages. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving
to another web site. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these
linked sites as their privacy policies may differ from ours.
Some of these other companies may use marketing technology that allows
advertisers to add non-personally-identifying demographic information, such as
age, gender, area code, or ZIP code, to the non-identifiable profile data. Thus,
there is no direct connection between an end user's online choices and his or
her personal identity.
In some cases, This Site receives and records
partial email addresses of Internet users, only in circumstances where the user
voluntarily provided its identity and contact information through the
Advertiser's site or third-party marketer's site. This partial email address
does not enable This Site to personally identify an Internet User nor is it
shared, sold, rented, or given away.
II. INFORMATION SHARING
This Site may release account and any other personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to respond to a subpoena or otherwise
comply with the law; or protect the rights, property, or safety of This Site or
others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection.
III. CONSUMER CHOICE AND ACCESS
A. Opting Out.
Some Cookies have an "opt-out" option.
This process does not remove This Site's Cookie from your system; it simply
replaces it with an opt-out Cookie that does not contain any unique identifiers.
If this site provides such a process it is detailed below.
Some of This
Site's Cookies do not have an "opt-out" option, yet you still have the option of
blocking the use of Cookies by changing a setting in your Internet browser.
Please see your browser supplier's Web site for details on how to do
this.
This site does not maintain a process for an individual consumer to
opt-out of This Site's Cookies.
B. Accessing Consumer
Information.
Because they are not directed towards individual Internet
users, most sites do not maintain a process for an individual consumer to review
and/or request changes to any PII collected.
Except as provided below,
this site does not maintain a process for an individual consumer to access
his/her PII.
IV. SECURITY
This Site employs industry
standard security measures to ensure the security of all data. Any data that is
stored on This Site's servers is treated as proprietary and confidential and is
not available to the public. This Site allows access to this data only to those
employees or third parties who have a need to know such information for the
purpose of effectively delivering This Site's products and services by means of
user login and password requirements.
No transmission of data over the
Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third
parties not under the control of This Site to intercept or access transmissions
or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your PII, This
Site cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to
us. You acknowledge and assume this risk when communicating with This
Site.
V. CONSENT AND CHANGES
This Site may find it
necessary or be legally obligated to update this Privacy Policy from time to
time. When we do, we will post those changes on this page and update the
effective date so that you are always aware of the information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. Except as otherwise
required by law, modifications to this Privacy Policy will not affect the
privacy of data collected by This Site prior to the effective date of the policy
change.
VI. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY AND SPAM
This Site is very
sensitive to the issue of children's privacy and makes every effort to protect
the privacy of children using the Internet. It is possible that This Site's Web
site, products, and services may may not be appropriate for or directed at
children. Children (persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to do business
with us and we do not collect personal information from any person we actually
know is under the age of 13.
This Site is committed to proper Internet
practices and full compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701).
It is our policy to prohibit the sending of unsolicited or "Spam" e-mail by This
Site or any of our marketing partners.
Please note that under the
CAN-SPAM Act, an advertiser is required to provide an opt-out mechanism for
consumers to unsubscribe from future emails about the advertiser. Although not
required to by law, many email marketers also include an opt-out mechanism to
enable consumers to be removed from their mailing list. This has caused some
confusion for consumers in opting out. The table below clarifies which opt-out
mechanism you should use for commercial emails.

VII. DATA PROCESSING/SAFE HARBOR
The European Union
("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These rules differ significantly from US
laws. To reconcile these differences, the US and the EU have created a Safe
Harbor that defines mutually acceptable privacy operations. This Site adheres to
the Safe Harbor principals. For more information see www.export.gov/safeharbor.
VIII. LIMITATION

AND AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OVER PRIVACY IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
