Information Collection and Usage


A.     General Collection and Use of Personal Identifying Information
In order to use some parts of the web site, a user must complete a buyer information form or web contact form, provide an e-mail address, or provide information such as name, email, postal address, and so on. We will use this personal identifying information to establish the identity of the submitter and we will retain this information. Generally, we use information only for the purpose for which it was originally collected. For instance, we must use buyer information to deliver products or we might use the collected information to contact a site visitor about services or information on our site in which he or she expressed an interest or to improve and customize our content. A user can remove his or her consent at any time and stop information from being used for informational and promotional purposes by sending an e-mail request to us and requesting to be removed from a distribution list.  For contact information, please see the Questions and Contact Information section at the end of this document.

B.     Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer and linked to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is not linked to personally identifiable information while on our site. We sometimes use session-based cookies for shopping cart and session navigation purposes. For example, by setting a cookie on our site, users have their shopping cart items tracked and would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie or turn off their browser cookies, they can still use our site; however, the user will not be able to use certain functions and could be timed out prematurely.

C.    Web Service Log File Data Like most standard Web site servers, we use log files. This could include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Communication From Our Site


A.     Newsletters, Forms, and Other Publications
If we offer a newsletter or other subscriptions and a user wishes to subscribe to them, or if we offer documentation material such as brochures and we ask for contact information such as name and email address, out of respect for our users privacy we provide a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice/Opt-out section below.

B.     E-Commerce and Online Financial Transactions
Any financial transactions initiated through our Website take place on a secure server and any personal or credit card information is encrypted during transmission. We do our utmost to provide optimum security for our users and use the latest technology to this end. For e-commerce transactions it is also necessary to gather contact information such as name and email address and possibly shipping information such as mailing address. We will use this information in only appropriate ways. See the section below on Information Sharing. If we initiate contact based on this information, we always provide a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice/Opt-out section below.

C.    Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an e-mail. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.

D.    Information Sharing
We
DO NOT Share Personal Information with Third Parties without users' express consent (except as needed to fulfill requested services using intermediaries/agents). Registration, emails, or other communications related to sponsored events indicates willingness to share contact information and personal preferences with event affiliates and sponsors. Although we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may disclose personal information when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with an appropriate law enforcement investigation, current judicial proceeding, a court order, or a legal process that we must legally comply with.

D.    Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to "opt-out" of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for information. Users who no longer wish to receive a newsletter or secondary communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by contacting us. For contact information, please see the Questions and Contact Information section at the end of this document.

F.     Security
We have taken steps to ensure that personal identifying information collected in the future is secure, and we have limited the number of people who have access to the information by such things as password protections that guard against unauthorized access. Electronic components that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.

G.    Notification of Changes
