We treat this information as Personal Information only if we combine it with or link it to any of the Personal Information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only.

Our website, like many other commercial web sites, may utilize a standard technology called “cookies” to collect information about how our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a web site operator determine that a particular user had visited the site previously and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site.

If you are simply browsing one of our information sites, a cookie may be used to identify your browser as one that has visited the site before.

Pages of our the website may also contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).

Our website is updated on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This fact is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the website. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our servers.

We will review our security arrangements from time to time as we deem appropriate.

In some circumstances, we may share information you voluntarily provide us with trustworthy business partners. We may disclose Personal Information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

To our subsidiaries and affiliates
To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business
To enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements
To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the Company’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which Personal Information held by the Company about our users is among the assets transferred
To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it
To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request

Also, the Company may provide aggregate statistics about visitors to our sites, such as volume, traffic to the site, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no Personal Information. The Company may also disclose information in special cases when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process, protect and defend our rights or property or act to protect the interests of our users or others.

If you have voluntarily provided information, you consented to the collection and use of your Personal Information as described in this privacy policy. If, in connection with your use of a particular service, we ask to use your data in a way not described in this privacy policy and you do not wish to permit that use, you can choose not to use the particular service. If you have voluntarily provided Personal Information, we may, from time to time, send you mail or e-mail regarding products and services.

Our website may contain links to other sites, including those of our business partners. While we seek to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of these websites or any other sites that are linked to from our website, or any damage to, or viruses that may infect your computer equipment or other property, or for any loss or corruption of data resulting from any third party website navigated to or accessed from links hosted on or contained in our website. If you decide to access any website linked to in our website or any other electronic communication from us, you do so entirely at your own risk. We do not guarantee that you will receive an alert when you leave our website, and it is your responsibility to determine when you have left our website. Any Personal Information you provide on linked pages or applications is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party’s privacy policy. We encourage you to learn about their privacy and security practices and policies before providing them with Personal Information.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about any third party’s policies or procedures, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals. Web browsers may incorporate or activate these features differently, making it unclear if users have consciously activated them. As a result, at this time we do not take steps to respond to such signals.

It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.
