Our Privacy Policy Commitment
Privacy Policy: It is our policy not to disclose any information that identifies our website visitors to third parties other than as described below.
Site Activity & Aggregate Reporting
We track activity on this website to create general statistical reports about the site and its visitors. We use this information to learn more about our users and how we can improve our site. You can visit our site without identifying yourself or revealing any personally identifiable information. There may be times, however, when you will choose to give us personal information. It is our policy to keep this information strictly confidential and to protect it with the utmost care.
We track the domains (for example, AOL or Earthlink) from which people visit this site. We do this to gain aggregate data that may be analyzed for trends and statistics. This tracking is done through the use of IP addresses. Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Statement, we may use accumulated aggregate data for several purposes including audience analysis, evaluation of services, business planning and to improve client service.
Surveys and Studies
We may conduct surveys or other studies of users and usage for planning purposes. You have the option to participate in these surveys or not to do so. We will notify you at the time a survey is taken if responses to that survey will be disclosed publicly. We will disclose only aggregate information, and will not associate specific responses or other personal information with any specific individual.
Cookies
Cookies: this website employs “cookies” to provide you with tailored information. A “cookie” is an element of data that a website, when visited by a user, sends to that user’s browser; the browser may, in turn, store that element on the user’s hard drive or memory. Cookies allow the site to better serve users; any cookies sent will be marked so that they will be accessible only by websites subject to this Privacy Statement. At your option and your sole expense and responsibility, you may block or delete our cookies from your PC hard drive. However, if you disable or delete cookies, certain site features and functionality may no longer work properly, or at all.

“Opt-in” E-mails: You may “opt-in” to receive site notifications, newsletters, or other information via e-mail. You may remove yourself from such services at your discretion. Any email sent to an “opt-in” list will include directions for how to remove your email address from the list, or a URL where you can find these directions.
