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 personal
preferences.
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 post 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.
- To receive no further emails

- about the advertiser
- Advertiser's
- from the email marketing company

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 .
