This Privacy Policy describes the terms of
our commitment to your privacy.
VIEWING AND/OR USE AND/OR COMMUNICATION IS
CONSTRUED AS ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY
Acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy is a portion of
the consideration required for your right to visit the website.
If you do not accept these terms, you have no right to visit
this site and you are fraudulently using this site.
ABOUT THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THIS WEBSITE
COLLECTS AND HOW IT IS USED
This website routinely collects information about its visitors,
subscribers, members, and customers. This information is obtained
in various ways, such as:
VISITOR, SUBSCRIBER, MEMBER, OR CUSTOMER INFORMATION
OBTAINED FROM 'REGISTRATION'
Registration means that the Visitor, Subscriber, Member or Customer
takes active, positive steps to communicate information to this
website. This can include pages or 'pop ups' where you register
for a newsletter or subscribe to a mailing list; it can include
your participation in visitor surveys; it can include requesting
information from the website via email, mail, or courier; it
may be from joining an affiliate program or other membership
organization, paid or unpaid; or it may be from ordering a product.
Occasionally complete credit card information may be provided
to the website via fax or a fill-in form rather than regular
secure merchant service processing. This information is kept
at the highest level of security and is never divulged to anyone
except the merchant service provider or for the purpose of communication
with the customer.
VISITOR EMAIL INQUIRIES
Website visitors who wish to communicate with the website do
so under two conditions: one, they give their permission for
contact by the website; two, they are subject to the general
'SUBMISSION' agreement of this policy. While your email address
may or may not be used to solicit you, it is added to the website's
general solicitation database.
CUSTOMER EMAIL OR TESTIMONIALS
If you are a customer and send an email to the website, or if
you communicate with the site by phone or mail, the website
collects information about your communication and by communicating
with the site you give your permission to collect, archive,
retrieve, and otherwise use any information collected as the
site sees fit.
Any communication which, in its sole discretion, the site deems
to be a testimonial, may be publicized for commercial purposes.
INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM VISITOR INTERACTION
WITH BANNERS, POPUPS, OR SITE ADVERTISERS
Visitors clicking on banners or pop-ups or hyperlinked advertising,
appearing on this website must assume that information is being
collected about them. This site is not responsible for the use
of information collected in such a fashion. Visitors must assume
that (1) information will be collected, (2) that ‘cookies’ will
usually be placed on their hard drive, (3) that website does
not have any control over what happens with this information,
(4) that website takes no responsibility over the accuracy or
content of advertisers, (5) that website is not responsible for
downloads from third party advertisers that contain viruses or
worms or other computer code that causes their computer or software
harm, and (6) that website assumes no responsibility for the
data that is garnered from the click itself or that the advertiser
collects.
INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM REFERRING EMAIL OR
REFERRING URLS
If you send a friend an email from this site or if you send the
URL or one of our web pages to a friend, you must assume that
some data is collected about your IP address or your email address
and that of your friend. You must assume that referred emails
or web pages may appear to come from your email. You must accept
full responsibility for referring pages or email to a friend
and agree to indemnify this site for any damage, intentional
or unintentional that results from said referrals.
INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM ELECTRONIC MEANS
AND 'COOKIES'
Many websites, including this one, collect information about
your computer, your email address, and your IP address. You must
assume that your web-viewing or web-use activity is monitored,
tracked, and information collected. This information is not usually
of a personal nature, but it may help define your viewing habits
and product preferences even though the website may or may not
have any idea who you are.
"Cookies" is web jargon for bits of computer code placed
on your hard drive. Websites use this to keep you 'logged in',
to keep track of search criteria, to monitor use, to password
protect use of the site or use of products sold by the site.
Cookies can also be used to obtain information about your computer
configuration or your use of your computer.
Cookies can be used to electronically gather information about
you. Again, it may or may not be personal information, but it
is information and by using this site you are expressly giving
permission to use 'cookies' and to use the information gathered
from their use to benefit you. You also give permission to collect,
archive, retrieve, and use any information collected for product
design, product offers to you, and general commercial solicitation
purposes by this site or joint venture partners, affiliates,
and marketing organizations.
HOW INFORMATION MAY BE USED
The use of information as described below may or may not be how
information that is collected is customarily used by this site.
While actual use of any information collected may be used quite
conservatively, you must assume that it is not. You must assume
that information collected is shared with other persons or
entities for commercial purposes. While this is uncommon in
practice, you must assume that it is as you make your decision
whether or not to view or interact with this website. This
type of shared information may include your name, address,
phone number, email address and buying habits, as well as other
information. This information may be used for general commercial
solicitation by this website or other persons it is sold to,
rented to, or shared with.
INFORMATION THAT IS NOT SHARED
Credit card information or other financial information is not
usually known to the website. However, in the event that it
is made known, that information is never revealed to anyone
except to processing authorities or law enforcement agencies.
However, the provider of such information gives express permission
to use it in fraud investigation or for litigation.
SPAM
By providing to this website information that forms the basis
of communication with you, such as an email address, you waive
all rights to file complaints concerning unsolicited email or
spam from this website since, by providing such information,
you agree to receive communication from us or other marketing
organizations. However, all email communication with you shall
contain an 'unsubscribe' link where you may notify the website
that you no longer wish to receive solicitations or information
from the website and your name will be removed from the general
solicitation database.
DATA SECURITY
This website takes measures to protect its data that contains
information related to you. However, as a consideration for viewing
this site or interacting with this site in any manner, you waive
all claims of any nature against this site concerning the loss,
alteration, or misuse of information. You must assume that it
is possible for your personal data to be obtained by others,
such as "hackers," and used in an inappropriate manner
that may cause you harm and that you agree that the site is not
responsible for damages to you.
REVISIONS TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY WITHOUT NOTICE
This Privacy Policy is dynamic. It will continually change. You
may not assume that it remains the same and you agree to check
the policy each time you visit the site for changes. Unless,
in the sole opinion of the website, this policy changes so drastically
as to suggest a posted notification on the site or via email,
you will receive no notification of changes to this Privacy Policy
nor, under any circumstances, does this site promise notification.
Your continued use of this site always evidences your acceptance
of the terms of this Privacy Policy or any modifications.
