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.
