What
Information Do We Collect?
When visiting the our web site, you may
provide us with two types of information:
personal information you voluntarily choose
to disclose that is collected on an
individual basis, and Web site use
information gathered on a collective basis
as you and others browse our Web site.
Personal
Information You Choose to Provide
Registration
Information
You will provide us information about
yourself, your firm or company, and your
practices when you register to be a user of
our services, register for certain services,
or register for email newsletters and
alerts.
Email
Information
If you choose to correspond with us through
email, we may retain the content of your
email messages together with your email
address and our responses. If you use our
"Email this page" feature to send a copy of
that page to someone else, your email
address will appear as the sender of the
email. Both your email address and the
recipient's email address will not be used
for any other purpose.
How Do We Use
the Information That You Provide to Us?
Generally, we use personal information for
purposes of managing 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.
Choice/Opt-out
We allow you the choice to opt-out of having
your information used for purposes not
directly related to our site, when we ask
for the information.
Until you
explicitly opt-in for the first time we
consider you in the opt-out category. We
always notify our customers when their
information is being collected by any
outside parties. We do this so our users can
make an informed choice as to whether or not
they should proceed with services that
require an outside party.
If you do not wish to
receive any promotional or marketing e-mails
and/or surface mail marketing letters, you
may opt-out of receiving those
communications by using the opt-out
mechanism on the User Account Settings Web
page, or by sending an e-mail with the
subject line "Unsubscribe" to or
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?
As you visit our Web site, the site uses its
cookies to differentiate you from other
customers. In some cases, we also use
cookies to prevent you from seeing
unnecessary advertisements or requiring you
to log in more than is necessary for
security.
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 may enter into alliances, partnerships or
other business arrangements with third
parties who may be given access to personal
information including your name, address,
telephone number and email for the purpose
of providing you information regarding
products and services that we think will be
of interest to you.
In connection
with alliances, partnerships or
arrangements, we may also provide certain
information to third parties if we have
determined that the information will be used
in a responsible manner by a responsible
third party.
We also use
third parties to facilitate our business,
including, but not limited to, sending email
and processing credit card payments. In
connection with these offerings and business
operations, our partners and other third
parties may have access to your personal
information for use in connection with
business activities.
As we develop
our business, we may buy or sell assets or
business offerings. Customer, email, and
visitor information is generally one of the
transferred business assets in these types
of transactions. We may also transfer such
information in the course of corporate
divestitures, mergers, or any dissolution.
How Do We
Protect Your Information?

of communication. For this reason, we
