Privacy Policy: Updated December 16th, 2008
We believe that privacy and security are of major concern to online
users. Therefore, we have adopted the policy below, which discloses the
privacy and security practices for our Site. The policy is designed to
inform you of:
• What information we might gather from you.
• What we will do with that information.
• What benefits you may receive by our use of that information.
• How you can control the information you choose to submit on our Site.
• What protections we provide for the online privacy of children.
• How you can correct and update your Member information, opt-out of
communications, or delete your information from the database.
Because we want to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, we have
agreed to disclose our information practices. If you have questions
regarding this policy, please contact us here: (link to customer service

Our Privacy View
We believe that strong electronic privacy is crucial for the ongoing
success of the Internet as a service and as a commercial, educational,
and entertainment medium. However, we do need to understand user
behavior in order to serve you better. To achieve this goal, we need to
understand what differentiates you from other unique users of the Site.
We collect information in two ways: at registration/purchase and with
cookies.
Information We May Ask You to Provide at Registration/Purchase:
We gather information about our registrants that allows us to offer
compelling services and easily accessible online content in a manner
that provides personal privacy protection as well. When you register or
purchase from us, we request and collect personal information including
your name, address, phone, email address. This information also helps us
provide content and products that are relevant to you. It is up to you
to decide whether you wish to participate in these activities and
provide the required information. We do NOT collect Social Security
numbers. Credit card information, such as card numbers and expiration
dates, are collected only when purchases are made and are used for
purchase transactions only. This information is used solely in the event
of a commercial transaction, and is kept as confidential information.
We may also request information about your likes, dislikes, purchasing
habits, age, gender, and online activities. This information helps us
deliver content and activities that are customized and relevant to your
preferences. This information may be made available to our corporate
sponsors in varying degrees of complexity, but only if you have given
your permission for this to occur.
Along with all of our Registrants, you will receive periodic
electronic-mail messages and newsletters covering such topics as the
confirmation of initial Registration and/or topics related to the
product of purchase.
Information We May Implicitly Collect:
Use of Cookies
Cookies are small bits of information that a Web site transfers to your
computer's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web
surfing easier by saving your registration, passwords, and preferences:
they allow you to be recognized when you return to the Site. The use of
cookies is an industry-wide practice and you'll find them at most major
Web sites.
Cookies help us to serve you better by improving the site. They allow us
to track your interests and add content that is more relevant to you.
The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard
in the Internet industry. Most Web browsers are usually set to initially
accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse
cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, the site
may not function properly if you do not accept cookies. Acceptance of
our registration process obligates you to accept our cookies.
Collecting IP Addresses:
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to
report aggregate information to our advertisers. An IP address is a
number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing
the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP
address. When you order any one of our products from our sites, our
servers log the Registrants' IP addresses. We, in turn, use this
information to track navigation through the Site and to improve the
performance of your online experience.
Collecting Interests:
In general, do not collect Site Member information simply based on your
interactions with our Site. However, we may make note of your interest
or disinterest in a particular subject via a simple numeric value added
to your Member profile. This value indicates your relative interest or
disinterest in a particular subject when you complete specific events or
activities that are meaningful to us in understanding how to provide you
with better customer support.
Sharing of Information:
We may use gathered personal information for any legally permissible
purpose in the discretion of us and our third parties. Ourselves and our
third parties may sell or transfer Individual Information. Individual
Information may also be shared with third parties that provide some of
the personalized content on our site and with other third parties who
may provide products of interest with you. We and our third parties may
use personal information to provide promotional offers to individuals by
means of email advertising, telephone marketing, direct mail marketing,
and online banner advertising, among other uses. We may update this
policy from time to time.
Guidelines for Children:
We understand that children have unique privacy needs. Therefore, we
have adopted a special policy to protect their privacy online,
especially children under 18 years of age. Without verifiable parental
consent, we will not collect any registration information from children
we know to be under 18 years of age, nor will we send them any direct
email offers. We will allow consenting parents of children under the age
of 18 to access their child's account, edit account information, and
help manage their child's personal information. We will continually
review our privacy policies to ensure our compliance with the latest
children's online privacy protection regulations. Our sweepstakes are
not available to Registrants under the age of 18. We encourage parents
and guardians to spend time online with their children and to
participate and monitor the online activities of their children. No
information should be submitted to, or posted at, our site by a visitor
under 13 years of age without the consent of the child's parent or
guardian.
