Privacy Policy
Introduction
We and our affiliates respect your online privacy while at the same time we recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information you provide to us.
We established this Online Privacy Policy so you can understand how we intend to treat your Private Information.
Personal Information and Private Information to us means anything that may be used to identify you individually and your activities on our site apart from any other individual AND we know that it is “you”. In general, you can visit our site without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
We make every attempt to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. However, because legal requirements may vary from country to country, we intend to maintain the principles in this Privacy Policy even if we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require what we believe is an “adequate” level of protection. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some of our Web pages utilize “cookies” and other tracking technologies that are “standard fare” for allowing us to understand what our visitors are doing. Some of the cookies and other technologies we use may also serve to recall Personal Information you previously provided to us.
The cookies and other tracking technologies we use may record information such as your Internet domain and host name, your Internet protocol (IP) addresses, the browser software and operating system you are using, your specific click pattern and even mouse movements, and dates and times that you accessed our site. Our use of these tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.
To protect your privacy, we have adopted the following principles:

Notice
When we collect personal information from you, we intend to provide you with a statement that explains why that information is being collected and whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside of our organization or those working on behalf of our organization. We do not intend to transfer your personal information without your consent to third parties who are not contractually bound to act on our behalf unless such transfer is legally required by appropriate law enforcement authority.
Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide personal information to us. The notices we intend to provide when we ask for your personal information should help you to make this decision. If you choose not to provide the personal information we request, you can still visit most of our web site, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you.
If you chose to have a relationship with us, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.
Security
Wherever your information may be held within our organization or on its behalf, we intend to take the appropriate steps our knowledge allows us to protect the information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure while still allowing for your smooth user experience on our site.
Access/Accuracy
To the extent that you do provide us with any personal information, we wish to maintain the accuracy of that information. Therefore, our goal is to provide a means of contacting us should you need to update or correct that information. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your information available on the “Contact Us” page and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes you informed us of as soon as practicable.
Third Party Services
Third parties provide certain services available on our behalf. Therefore, we may provide information, including your personal information, to those providers which help us deliver programs, products, information, and services. Service providers are also an important means by which we maintain our Web site and mailing lists. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect your information on our behalf.
We do not intend to transfer information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on our behalf unless such transfer is required by appropriate law. Similarly, it is against our policy to sell your information without your consent.

We are not not structured to attract children. As such we do not intend to collect personal information from anyone we know to be under 13 years of age although we currently do not take steps to verify the user to that extent.
