the site collects information from all end users of the
services (the "Services") — those who access some of our Services but
are not participants in the activities of this website ("Visitors") as

carefully. |
Introduction
|
| This website may collect information in different ways from
Visitors and Members who access the various Services of
the websites or network of websites accessible through the Services.
This website uses this information primarily to provide a customized
experience as you use the Services and does not share this information
with third parties. However, the administrators may disclose personal
information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or
in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such
disclosure is required by law or other special cases described
below. |
Member Registration
|
| Individuals may be asked to provide certain personal information
when they sign up for our Services as Members. The personal information
collected from Members during the registration process is used to
manage each Member's records for administrative purposes. This
information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically
stated otherwise or in special circumstances. |
Online Purchases
|
| This website may provide links to other sites. At some websites,
you can purchase products and services or register to receive
materials, such as a catalog or new product and service updates. In
many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as
your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit or debit card
information. If you complete an order for someone else, such as an on line gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to
provide information about the recipient, such as the recipient’s name,
address, and phone number. The administrators of this website have no
control over the third parties’ use of any personal information you
provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when doing
so. |
Responses to Email Inquiries
|
| When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to this website, the
return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive, if
applicable. This website does not use the return email address for any
other purpose and does not share the return email address with any
third party. |
Voluntary Surveys
|
| This website may periodically conduct voluntary surveys. Members
and Visitors are encouraged to participate in these surveys
because they provide important information that helps
improve the Services offered and how they are provided to you. Your
personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential,
even if the survey is conducted by a third party. |
| We take the information received from individuals responding to surveys is combined (or aggregated) with the responses of other
Visitors and Members to create broader, generic responses to the survey
questions. The aggregated information is then used to improve the
quality of services to you, and to develop new services. |
Special Cases
|
| It is the policy of this website not to use or share the personal
information about Visitors or Participants in ways unrelated to those described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt
out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, this website
may disclose personal information about Visitors or Participants, or
information regarding your use of the Services or websites accessible
through the Services, for any reason if it believed that it is justifiable to do so, including: to satisfy laws,
such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or
governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose
information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating the Acceptable Use Policy or
other user policies to use the Services properly; or to protect this
website and our Members and Visitors. |
