In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners,
if you choose to correspond further with us through email, we may

of information received by mail and telephone.
2. Website Use Information
Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes
a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What
Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about
how our website 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 website, and the websites visited
just before and just after our website. 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
website, 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 website. 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 website 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. Cookies
should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We use website browser software tools such as cookies and
Web server logs to gather information about our website users' browsing
activities, in order to constantly improve our website 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 website 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 website 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 website'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.
Site Advertisers
From time to time you may notice offers from outside companies
advertised on our website. 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 website, 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 contacting us by using the contact page.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
Our website is running in a Securd Socket Layer (SSL) and the data
transmitted herein are encrypted. When you send confidential personal credit card information
to us on our website, 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
website.
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 information and numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Information Security. We utilize encryption technology and SSL 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.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers,
sales, website traffic patterns and related website 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 Websites Linked to Our Website?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites
linked to or from our website nor the information or content contained
therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as
pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users
of our website.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our website to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link on our website, is subject to that website's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our website to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
