We respect your privacy and recognize the need for appropriate protection and management
of any personally identifiable information you may share with us (the phrase "personally
identifiable information" or "personal information" means any information by which
you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc.). The
purpose of this Privacy Statement is to inform you how we may use personally identifiable
information or personal information collected from you when you visit our website
and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct,
the information collected. Because we may revise our privacy policies from time
to time, you should periodically visit this page to review the then current Privacy
Statement.
How We Collect Information
In general, you can visit many of our website pages without telling us who you are
or revealing any personally identifiable information. We may track the Internet
domain address from which people visit our website and analyze this data for trends
and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily
tell us who you are.
There may be times when we ask you to provide certain personal information about
yourself, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. Whether
or not to provide such information is completely your own choice; we collect only
the personal information that you provide to us. If you choose not to provide the
information we request, you may be unable to access certain services, offers, and
content on our website.
Cookies
To enable us to provide customized and personalized services, we may use cookies
to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of
data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer.
Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us any personally identifiable information about
you. However, if you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information
(such as your e-mail address), that information could be linked to the data stored
in the cookie. We reserve the right to change our use of cookies and our practices
regarding linkage to personally identifiable information without prior notification.
How We Use Information We Collect
We use the information we automatically receive from your Web browser to see which
pages you visit within our website. We can then develop statistics that are helpful
to understanding how our website is used by our visitors. This statistical data
is interpreted by us in our continuing effort to present website content that visitors
are seeking in the format they find most helpful.
When we receive personally identifiable information, we may use it for reasonable
business purposes, such as contacting you, via e-mail or regular mail, to provide
you with information we believe may be of interest. If you e-mail us, you are voluntarily
releasing information to us. We will use your e-mail address to respond to you.
Third-Party Use of Information
We will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information
to third parties except as provided herein. Specifically, personally identifiable
information may occasionally be transferred to third parties who act on our behalf,
or in connection with our business, for further processing in accordance with the
purposes for which the data was originally collected. Where disclosure of personally
identifiable information to a third party is likely or necessary, further explanation
may be provided, where appropriate, at such collection points as to the intended
use of the data. We will require that such third parties protect the information
and, where appropriate, we will contractually require them to process data transferred
only for the purposes expressly authorized by us.
Because of the nature of the Internet, we may transmit the information to another
country, but remaining within our system, for purposes other than direct marketing,
such as for storage, or because of where our servers are located. We may also use
the information to investigate security breaches or cooperate with authorities pursuant
to a legal matter. We may remove the personally identifiable information and use
the other information for historical, statistical, or scientific purposes. Our website
contains links to other websites. Be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy
practices of other websites. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of
any websites that you visit through a link on our website.
