Our commitment to privacy

Your privacy is important to us. We have provided this notice to better explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Disclosure

We will not willfully disclose personally identifiable information about our registered members to third parties without first receiving their permission, unless we are required to do so by a legal statute, a law enforcement agency or regulatory authority. This will usually be done only after we receive a court order or subpoena that requires us to release information. If a registered member grants us permission, such information may also be shared with our partners. The information will only be shared in accordance with the specific purpose for which the registered member grants permission so that we can provide more valuable services.

The use of cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information unless you register on our site to receive information or a registered member/program participant. The use of cookies has become an industry standard and is commonly used by most Web sites. Our cookies provide us with access logs that contain the following information:

Likewise, we may use this information to provide feedback to our partners regarding interest our registered members have shown in their products and services. These reports cannot identify a registered member of this site. They simply consist of a summary of our registered member interest(s) and benefit our registered members while improving the quality of the web experience for all people without compromising our customers' privacy. Our partners cannot learn any personally identifiable information about any member included in these reports unless that member has granted permission to do so.

How your information is used

We use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with third parties.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
