commitment to the privacy of personal information provided by those visiting and interacting with
this web site. We hold the privacy of your personal information in the highest regard. The
following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.
We recognize the importance of protecting your privacy and our policy is designed to assist you
in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and
to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site. This policy will be continuously
assessed against new technologies, business practices and our customers' needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit this web site you may provide us with information: Web site usage information
collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. We do not collect personal information.
We do not use cookies in anyway or collect data of any kind except to provide an aggregrated
amount of visitors to our website.
But because our site is connected to the internet as a whole you may find that third parties
(meaning not our site) may make use of of cookies or web beacons.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. This means that these
ads are targeted to coincide with the content of our site. This is how all the sites on the
internet that display Google ads work. Google has made some changes, however, to how the ads are
displayed. Google now keeps track of your IP address and displays ads that thye think you will be
interested in. This is actually a good thing becasue it means that depending on the websites you
visit, you will see advertisements that meet your choices in web surfing.
Google does this with the use of a technology called DART which uses cookies to tell what
it is you might be interested in learning more about. This is a really good use of smart
technology. But if you don't like this, you can always opt out of it by going to this link:
Google ad and content network privacy
policy.
But basically we do NOT collect any information about you personally, except that which lets us
tell how many people come to our website.
2. Web Site Usage Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies"
(see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server log files to collect information about
how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited
just before and just after our Web site.
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. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would
prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies.
If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site will
not function as effectively when viewed by the users. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from
your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web site, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other
users. 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 to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our clients. Cookies
do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not intentionally store any
personal information that your browser provided to us in your cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP
address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP
addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data
known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, 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 disclosing this information is
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 Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site or
the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as
pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Website to another web site, our Privacy
Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other web site, including web
sites, which have a link on our Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies.
Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect
