What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a tiny text document, often including an anonymous unique identifier. If you visit a Web site, its computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in the cookies folder on your hard drive. All Web sites can send cookies to your browser provided your browser's preferences are set to allow it (the default setting is to “Allow Cookies”), However, to protect your privacy, your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it sent to you, not the cookies sent by other sites. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can change your browser settings to refuse them, however it is possible that some areas of our site will not function as effectively as a result. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.

How We Use Information Collected from Cookies
When you visit our Web site, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we can use cookies to help you avoid having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to analyse the aggregate number of people visiting the site and to identify which parts are most popular. This feedback enables us to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather personal information about you and we do not intentionally store any personal information that your browser may provide to us in your cookies.

IP Addresses
IP addresses are ID numbers used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet; and are used by other computers on the network to identify your computer. Our web server automatically collects IP addresses as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data”, so that data (eg. the Web pages you request) can be delivered to you.

Sharing and Selling Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identifies a subscriber (eg. email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide the services you have requested.

How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You can request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing support.

What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, i.e. when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that such disclosures are necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service, or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.

What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Site?
When linking to or from our website from other websites, our Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices employed by the other Web sites nor the information or content contained therein. Such links should usually be regarded solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.

Our Commitment To Data Security:
Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our computers in the United States; where the laws on holding personal data may be less stringent than those of your own country of residence. To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

This site allows visitors to unsubscribe from receiving future messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as is technically feasible.

Surveys & Contests
Occasionally our site requests information from users, via surveys or contests.

Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Surveys will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the user experience on this site.
