Our Commitment to Privacy
Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site. This statement will be continuously assessed and revised in light of new technologies, business practices and our users' needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information: 1) information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis, and 2) Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site. For each group/team we collect demographic information that may be shared with potential advertisers. We only require your name and email address because it is required for the Web site to function. We do not collect any personal or business addresses on this site
Web site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site may use a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use information we collect for purposes of administering our business activities and for providing customer service. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our site, and new services on related sites we manage. Additionally, we may use information we collect to inform advertisers about the demographic characteristics of users of our site. We do this so advertisers know who they are reaching when they advertise on our site.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We may use software tools such as Web server logs to gather information about our Web site users' browsing activities, in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. This information assists us in designing and arranging our Web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site's visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you although they do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses to you.
Sharing Information with Affiliates And Strategic Partners
We may share information about our users based on demographic data captured at the group or team level with any of our suppliers or partners.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, Web site traffic patterns and related Web site information to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information does not include personally identifying data.
What about Legally 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, or when law enforcement agencies request it for use in their investigations.
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 nor 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. We will make every reasonable effort not to provide links to any web site that promotes illegal activities such as, drug use and pornography.
