Similar to other

activities, providing the products and services you

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. How Do We Use
Information We Collect from Cookies? As you visit and
browse our Web site, the site uses cookies to
differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we
also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in
more than is necessary for security. 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 clients. Cookies do not
allow us to gather any personal information about you
and we do not intentionally store any personal
information that your browser provided to us in your
cookies. On our site cookies are only used in
conjunction by Amazon.com in conjunction with our
Amazon.com Webstore or listings.
IP
Addresses
IP addresses are used by your
computer every time you are connected to the Internet.
Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on
the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are
automatically collected by our web server as part of
demographic and profile data known as �traffic data� so
that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be
sent to you. Sharing and Selling Information We
do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information
that uniquely identify a customer or visitor (such as
email addresses or personal details) with anyone except
to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or
provide services or information that you have requested.

all your personally identifiable information that we
collect online and maintain in our database by emailing
us at using our email page:

Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may
disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in
other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the
law requires it or for the protection of our legal
rights. We may also disclose account information when we
have reason to believe that disclosing this information
is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be violating our Terms of
Service or to protect the safety of our users and the
public.
What About Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not
responsible for the practices employed by Web sites
linked to or from our Web site or the information or
content contained therein. Often links to other Web
sites are provided solely as pointers to information on
topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our
Website to another web site, our Privacy Policy is no
longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any
other web site, including web sites, which have a link
on our Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules
and policies. Please read over those rules and policies
before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection
and use of your personal information as described in
this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this
privacy policy at any time with or without notice but
are unlikely to do so.
Our Commitment To
Data Security:
Please note that your
information will be stored and processed on our
computers in the United States. The laws on holding
personal data in the United States may be less stringent
than the laws of your Country of residence or
citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of
information, we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and
secure the information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
Since this site does not
use a registration system it is unnecessary we believe
it is unnecessary for visitors to unsubscribe. As
mentioned above it is our policy not to send gratuitous
messages to our visitors or customers. Surveys
From time-to-time because of our business
relationship with Amazon.com that site may request
information from users via surveys. Participation in
these surveys is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Such survey information will be used for
purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site exclusively. A Special
Note About Children Children are not eligible to use
our services unsupervised and we ask that children
(under the age of 14) do not submit any personal
information to us. If you are a minor, you can use this
service only in conjunction with permission and guidance
from your parents or guardians. Acquisition or
Changes in Ownership In the event that the web site
(or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired,
your information will not be considered part of those
assets, and will not be part of those assets that are
transferred.
Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time.
If or when changes are made to this privacy policy, we
will email users who have given us permission to do so.
We will post any changes here, so be sure to check back
periodically. However, please be assured that if the
Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use
the personal information you have submitted to us under
this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially
inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your
prior consent.
