Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once you close the browser, the cookie is deleted. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
By allowing a cookie to be set by our Website, you do not need to enter your username more than once, thereby saving time while on our Website. If you reject the cookie, you may still use our Website. The only drawback to this is that you may be limited in some areas of our Website and the Website may not display appropriately for your screen size.
Log Files
All web servers create and use log files to some extent. We do not use intrusive log files, but use ordinary web-logging to assess and improve the functionality of the Website. The log files track internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the Website, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather general information about which pages are visited. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Disclosure of Information
We do not disclose any personally identifiable information collected through the Website whether publicly listed elsewhere or not, except as disclosed in this policy or as required by law. We may disclose personally identifiable information we collect to third parties to process credit card transactions or to otherwise enable the functions of our service.
We reserve the right to disclose to third parties aggregate usage statistics that do not contain personally identifiable information. In no event will we include personal information in any such disclosure. Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with an appropriate law enforcement investigation, current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Website, or as required by law.
Business Transitions
In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, your personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. If as a result of the business transition, your personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection you will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

If we decide to amend this policy at any time, we will inform you of changes as required by law. By posting changes on our homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, we disclose it.
