Protecting Your Information & Security

We are proud of our commitment to protecting your privacy online. We value your trust in us and will work hard to earn your confidence so that you can enthusiastically use our services and recommend us to friends and family. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

All pages on our website that collect user data are encrypted utilizing the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. Pages requiring personal identifying informational also are session based with timeouts in order to protect your data should you leave your computer unattended.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All user information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees are required to secure their computers when leaving their desks, and must utilize a password to re-gain access to their computer. Additionally, all personal information is secured in a database that has authorization levels depending on the employee function, requires unique passwords for entry, and has session timeouts. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every month, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, please feel free to contact us pursuant to the "How to Contact Us" section below.

Retention of Information

We retain Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or until an individual requests that we delete information about them, unless a longer retention period is required or is permitted by law. If you would like additional information concerning how long we keep a specific type of information, you can contact us pursuant to the "How to Contact Us" section below.

Miscellaneous

Aggregate Information
We collect aggregate information about you and your use of our Website whenever you visit us online. For instance, we may collect various forms of "click stream" information such as entry and exit points for our Website (i.e., referring URLs or domains), site traffic statistics, page views, impressions, and operating system and browser type. In addition, when you request pages on our Website, our servers automatically log your IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the internet. We also track traffic directed to the Website from affiliate websites and the purchases that result from this traffic. This aggregate information generally will not identify you or be correlated to you individually for external purposes. If we do correlate any aggregate information to you, such information will be treated like any other Personal Information under this policy.

Links to Other Sites
Please be aware that we provide links to third-party websites as a service to our users, and that we are not responsible for the content or information collection practices of those pages. Please note that these websites' privacy policies may differ from our privacy policy. We encourage you to review and understand their privacy practices before providing them with information.

Transmission of Information For Customer of Other Countries
We are a United States of America based corporation. Accordingly, our servers and offices are located in the United States, so your information will be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States. While the data protection, privacy, and other laws of the United States might not be as comprehensive as those in your country, we take many steps to protect your privacy.

Third Party Tracking
We participate in behavior-based advertising. This means that a third party may use technology (e.g., cookies) to collect information about your use of our Website so that it can provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests. That advertising may appear either on our Website, or on other websites. You can opt out of receiving advertising based on your browsing behavior from some network advertising companies by going to the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance websites, although to completely prevent advertising based upon your browsing behavior you should also disable the cookies on your browser.
