products and services.

Web Site Use
Information
Similar to other Web
sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs 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.
How Do We Use the

Broadly speaking, we
use personal information for purposes of administering 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. You may notify us at any time if you do
not wish to receive these offers just
contact
us.
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?
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 do not share your
information with unaffiliated third parties. We may, however, share
your information with our own personnel and our service providers to the
extent necessary to fulfill your requests. We reserve the right to
disclose your information under limited circumstances, such as to
cooperate with law enforcement or judicial authorities as required by
law or legal process, to protect our own legal rights, or to protect the
public good.
Whenever you are online, you run the risk that the information you give
out will fall into the wrong hands. Although we implement and maintain
reasonable security procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy,
we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide to us. We accept no responsibility or liability for the activities of third
parties.

from time to time, change our Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any
