We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of all
Information provided by users of our website. We created this policy with a fundamental respect for our users' right to privacy and to guide our relationships with our users.
Information Collection and Use
We collect information for our users and subscribers. In this section of our privacy policy, we will describe the type of information we collect and how we use it to provide better service to our customers.
Registration
When using our website and signing up for certain selected services, users must first register. During registration, users are required to give their contact information (such as name, mailing address and phone number). For internal purposes, we use this information to communicate with users and provide requested services and to provide a more personalized experience when visiting our site.
E-mail Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, we ask for contact information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally, demographic information). We use this information in the same manner as we use our contact information in the registration and payment process listed above. Recipients of our newsletters can un-subscribe using the instructions in the e-mail newsletter.
Communications with Us
We have features where users can submit information to us (such as our feedback forms). Requests for service, support or information may be forwarded as needed to best respond to a specific request. We may retain e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to serve customers better.
Communications from Us
In order to best serve our customers, we may send updates that contain important information about our site and services. We may communicate with a user to provide requested services and for account related issues via e-mail, phone or regular mail.
With Whom your Information is Shared
We do not share personally identifiable information with other companies. We will also disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights to property. Users should also be aware that courts of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit personal information to be shared or transferred to third parties without permission. We may share aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable, with others. This information may include usage and demographic data, but it will not include personal information.
Security
We use reasonable precautions to protect our users' personal information and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted to us online is encrypted and is transmitted to us securely. In addition, access to all of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Notifications and Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post these changes on this page so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Users should check this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
