2. Disclosure and Use of Personal Information

In some instances, we may share certain Personal Information.  On occasion, we may disclose some or all of your Personal Information to business partners.  Business partners may include, but are not limited to, our affiliates and companies that provide services in connection with ours.  We do provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, vendors, services providers, credit card and payment processing providers, advertisers, sponsors, business partners and associates and other third parties (“Business Parties”).  We and our Business Parties use your information to operate the Site and to deliver services.  We will encourage our Business Parties to adopt and post privacy policies.  However, the use of Personal Information is governed by the privacy policies of those Business Parties, and is not subject to our control.  We may work with Business Parties to obtain specific services or to perform functions on our behalf, and these Business Parties may have access to Personal Information as necessary to provide those services and perform their functions.  For example, payments for transactions are provided to and processed by one or more third parties.  The privacy policies of these third party payment processors will apply to the Personal Information you submit, rather than this Policy.  We may transfer Personal Information across state and country borders for the purposes of data consolidation, storage, and simplified customer information management.  We may transfer Personal Information to any person or entity succeeding to our business, including as a result of the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or a merger.  We may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide information to the appropriate governmental authorities.  We will disclose information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation.  We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use the Site or our services for illegal activities.  We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.  We may also provide information about our customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to third party advertisers.  We may also use information to help provide and personalize the services you request and expect from us, to conduct direct marketing and sales promotions and to better enhance your experience at the Site or in using any of our services or those of our affiliates.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through the Site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.  We use commercially reasonable safeguards and security procedures to keep Personal Information confidential and secure from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, alteration, unlawful destruction, or accidental loss.  We do not guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat these measures or access and use Personal Information for improper purposes.  We assume no liability in those circumstances, nor for any Personal Information once it is transported onto a managed communication network (including the Internet), other than the Site. 

5. Disclosure and Use of Non-Personal Information; Cookies

We receive an IP address and access date/time information each time you view a page from the Site.  We may use IP addresses for various purposes, including to diagnose reported service or technical problems associated with IP addresses, or to estimate the total number of users visiting the Site from specific localities, countries, or regions of the world.  As previously mentioned we may set cookies on the requesting computer and later access those cookies to help personalize and maximize the online experience and time online.  A “cookie” is a small amount of data, stored on the requesting computer’s hard drive that often includes a unique identifier sent to a browser requesting to view a web page.  We store “cookies” and use them in connection with your use of the Site.  We may use Business Parties who are outside companies and contractors to display banner advertisements or other content on the Site.  As part of their service, they may place a separate cookie on your computer.  We and our Business Parties will collect and use information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, geolocation information, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad.  Other advertisers may also place banner ads the Site in the same manner as above.  Normally, the preferences in your web browser can be set to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.  It is your responsibility to set the preferences in your web browser to the security levels you are comfortable with.  However, if you set the preferences to reject all cookies, it may impact your experience on the Site.  This Policy covers only our use of cookies and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers, sponsors or any of our other Business Parties or affiliates.

6. Links; Third Party Sites

As a courtesy to you, the Site may contain links to websites and resources owned by other individuals and entities, including those of our business affiliates and sponsors, or may bring such third party material and resources into the Site via “inverse hyperlinks” and framing technology (collectively, the “Third Party Sites”).  We have no access to or control over Third Party Sites or cookies used by Third Party Sites.  When you access those links, you are leaving the Site and are accessing the Third Party Sites at your own risk.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other Third Party Sites; nor do we endorse, and we are not responsible for, the information and content contained on Third Party Sites; nor are we responsible for maintaining links to or availability of Third Party Sites. We encourage you to check the privacy policies of Third Party Sites before disclosing any non-public personal information. 

7. The Site and Children

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children without permission from a parent or guardian. If you are a parent or legal guardian and think your child has given us information, you can contact us at the address listed above and we will use our best efforts to remove the personal information permanently from our files and will take any additional required measures under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998.  Please mark your inquiries “COPPA Information Request.”  You can learn more about how to protect children's privacy online at http://www.onguardonline.gov/topics/protect-kids-online.

8. Your California Privacy Rights

Residents of the State of California, under the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which we have disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes and a disclosure of the shared information.  Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that provides you with an “opt-out” choice for use of your personal information by third parties for marketing purposes, we may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice option.  The Site qualifies for the alternative option.  This Policy provides you with information on how you may opt-out from the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes.  Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information during the preceding year for marketing purposes.  If you are a California resident and desire information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, send a request to the address listed above.

9. Modifying Account Information and Opting Out

You have the opportunity to ask us not to share information with third parties or to opt-out of our use of personal information.  In addition, we may provide you with the opportunity to change or delete any personal information you may have provided to us.  To make changes to your information or opt-out, please contact us at the address listed above.
