Site.

This Site, ad server companies may collect information such as your
domain type, your IP address, and clickstream information.
Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are
moving from This Site to another Web site. We encourage you to read
the site terms and privacy statements of these linked sites as
their site terms and privacy policies may differ from ours.

policies of such other sites so review their site terms and privacy
policy before completing your order.

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 sex life.
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 ZIP 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.

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.
VIII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THIRD PARTY INFORMATION & LANGUAGE

TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND OUR SITE

DISPUTES). YOU AGREE THAT THIS SITE'S LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF
THIS PRIVACY POLICY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE VALUE OF
