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. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if
you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration
of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser
refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site will not
function as effectively when viewed by the users.A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your
hard drive or pass on computer viruses.

Used on the Site? Cookies
are used for a variety of reasons. We use Cookies to obtain information
about the preferences of our Visitors and the services they select. We
also use Cookies for security purposes to protect our Authorized
Customers. For example, if an Authorized Customer is logged on and the
site is unused for more than 10 minutes, we will automatically log the
Authorized Customer off. 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 to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our

or service providers have access to Personally Identifiable Information
from Visitors and/or Authorized Customers on the

information.

a court order or subpoena or a request from a law enforcement agency to
release information. We will also disclose Personally Identifiable

who are given a password in order to gain access to the information. We

information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers, is
protected by encryption protocols, in place to protect information sent

However, because of
backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete a
Visitor\'s entry without retaining some residual information. An
individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information
deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we will
not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to
that individual in any way moving forward.
What happens
if the Privacy Policy Changes? We will let our Visitors and Authorized Customers
know about changes to our privacy policy by posting such changes on the
Site. However, if we are changing our privacy policy in a manner that
might cause disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information that a
Visitor or Authorized Customer has previously requested not be disclosed,
we will contact such Visitor or Authorized Customer to allow such Visitor
or Authorized Customer to prevent such disclosure.

visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not receive future messages.
After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the particular messages as
soon as technically feasible.

these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore
has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
