2. Web Site Use
Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, this Web site
utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server log
files to collect information about how the 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 the Web site, and the Web sites visited just
before and just after this Web site.
How Do I Use the Information That You
Provide to Me?
Broadly speaking, I
use personal information for purposes of administering my
business activities, providing the products and services you
requested, to process your payment, to
monitor the use of the service, my
marketing
and promotional efforts and
improve
our content and service offerings, and customize the
site's content, layout, services and for other
lawful purposes. These uses
improve the site and better tailor it to meet your
needs.
Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an
aggregate basis. Personally identifiable information or
business information will not be shared with parties except as

Website, new services, and special offers I think you will
find valuable. You may notify me at any time if you do not
wish to receive these offers by using the link provided on the

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 my site will not function as
effectively. A cookie cannot retrieve
any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer
viruses.
How Do I Use Information I
Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse my
Web site, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other
users. In some cases, I also use cookies to prevent you
from having to log in more than is necessary for security.
Cookies, in conjunction with my Web server's log files,
allow me to calculate the aggregate number of people
visiting the Web site and which parts of the site are most
popular. This helps me gather feedback to constantly
improve the Web site and better serve my clients.
Cookies do not allow me to gather any personal information
about you and I do not intentionally store any personal
information that your browser provided to me 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 my 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.
Sharing and Selling
Information
I do not share,
sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely
identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal
details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to
process transactions or provide services that you have
requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your
Information?
You may request access to all
your personally identifiable information that I collect
online and maintain in my database by writing to me at the
address on the Contact Me page of
this Web site..
What About Legally
Compelled Disclosure of
Information?
I may disclose information when legally compelled to do
so, in other words, when I, in good faith, believe that the law
requires it or for the protection of my legal
rights. Imay also disclose account
information when I have reason to believe that disclosing
this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring
legal action against someone who may be violating my Terms
of Service or to protect the safety of my users and the
Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked
to this Web Site?
I am not responsible for
the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from this
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 this Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from my
Website to another web site, this Privacy Policy is no
longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other
web site, including web sites, which have a link on this
Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies.
Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.
Your
Consent
By using my Web site you
consent to my collection and use of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy. I reserve
the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or
without notice.
My Commitment To Data Security:
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not
receive future messages. After unsubscribing I will
discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as
technically feasible.
Surveys &
Contests
From time-to-time my site requests information from users
via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to
disclose this information. Information requested may include
contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this
site.
A Special Note About
Children
Children are not eligible
to use my services unsupervised
and I ask that children (under the age of
14) do not submit any personal information to me. If you
are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction
with permission and guidance from your parents or
guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in
Ownership
In the event that the web site (or a substantial portion of its
assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part
of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are
transferred.
Policy
Modifications
I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time.
If/when changes are made to this privacy policy, I will
email users who have given me permission to do so. I
will post any changes here, so be sure to check back
periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy
Policy changes in the future, I will not use the personal
information you have submitted to me under this Privacy
Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this
Privacy Policy, without your prior consent.
