What Information Do We Collect?
When visiting the our web site, you may provide us with two types of
information: personal information you voluntarily choose to disclose
that is collected on an individual basis, and Web site use information
gathered on a collective basis as you and others browse our Web site.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Registration Information
You will provide us information about yourself, your firm or company,
and your practices when you register to be a user of our services,
register for certain services, or register for email newsletters and
alerts.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the
content of your email messages together with your email address and our
responses. If you use our "Email this page" feature to send a copy of
that page to someone else, your email address will appear as the sender
of the email. Both your email address and the recipient's email address
will not be used for any other purpose.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Generally, we use personal information for purposes of managing and
expanding our business activities, providing customer service and
making available other products and services to our customers and
prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new
services and special offers we think you will find valuable.
Choice/Opt-out
We allow you the choice to opt-out of having your information used
for purposes not directly related to our site, when we ask for the
information.
Until you explicitly opt-in for the first time we consider you in
the opt-out category. We always notify our customers when their
information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our
users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should
proceed with services that require an outside party.
If you do not wish to receive any promotional or marketing e-mails
and/or surface mail marketing letters, you may opt-out of receiving
those communications by using the opt-out mechanism on the User Account
Settings Web page, or by sending an e-mail with the subject line
"Unsubscribe" to or e-mail address - see above.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's
computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part
of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site
can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences
allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web
site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies
sent to you by other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit our Web site, the site uses its cookies to differentiate
you from other customers. In some cases, we also use cookies to
prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you to
log in more than is necessary for security.
Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to
calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and
which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback
in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our
customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information
about you and we do not generally store any personal information that
you provided to us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may enter into alliances, partnerships or other business
arrangements with third parties who may be given access to personal
information including your name, address, telephone number and email
for the purpose of providing you information regarding products and
services that we think will be of interest to you.
In connection with alliances, partnerships or arrangements, we may
also provide certain information to third parties if we have determined
that the information will be used in a responsible manner by a
responsible third party.
We also use third parties to facilitate our business, including, but
not limited to, sending email and processing credit card payments. In
connection with these offerings and business operations, our partners
and other third parties may have access to your personal information
for use in connection with business activities.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business
offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of
the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may
also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures,
mergers, or any dissolution.
