PRIVACY
POLICY
Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist
you in understanding how we collect and use the personal
information you provide to us and to assist you in making
informed decisions when using our site and our products and
services.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us
with two types of information: personal information you
knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual
basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate
basis as you and others browse our Web site.
Registration Information & Email Information
You will provide us information about
yourself, your firm or company, and your practices when you
register for certain services, or register for email newsletters
and alerts. You may also provide additional comments on how you
see us servicing your needs and interests.
If you choose to correspond with us through
email, we may retain the content of your email messages together
with your email address and our responses.
Web Site Use Information
Similar to other Web sites, our Web site
utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect
information about how our Web site 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 Web site,
and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web
site.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide
to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information
for purposes of administering and expanding 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 Web site,
new services and special offers we think you will find valuable.
You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive
these offers by
contacting us.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which
often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a
Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission
to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically
designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to
your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to
protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to
access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies
sent to you by other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's
log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people
visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most
popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly
improve our Web site and better serve our customers. Cookies do
not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we
do not generally store any personal information that you
provided to us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We do not share your information with
unaffiliated third parties. We may, however, share your
information with our own personnel and our service providers to
the extent necessary to fulfill your requests. We reserve the
right to disclose your information under limited circumstances,
such as to cooperate with law enforcement or judicial
authorities as required by law or legal process, to protect our
own legal rights, or to protect the public good.
Whenever you are online, you run the risk that
the information you give out will fall into the wrong hands.
Although we implement and maintain reasonable security
procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy, we cannot
guarantee the security of any information you provide to us. We
accept no responsibility or liability for the activities of
third parties.
Notice of New Services and Changes
We may, from time to time, change our Privacy
Policy. We will notify you of any changes by posting our updated
Privacy Policy on our Website and inserting a new Effective
Date.
Effective Date - April 1, 2009
