How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Generally, we use personal information for purposes of managing and expanding our
business activities, providing customer service and making available other products
and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also

We allow you the choice to opt-out of having your information used for purposes
not directly related to our site, when we ask for the information.

outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether
or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party.

the opt-out mechanism on the User Account Settings Web page, or by sending an e-mail

What Are 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.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit our Web site, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other
customers. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary
advertisements or requiring you 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 in order to constantly improve our Web
site and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal
information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that
you provided to us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may enter into alliances, partnerships or other business arrangements with third
parties who may be given access to personal information including your name, address,
telephone number and email for the purpose of providing you information regarding
products and services that we think will be of interest to you.
In connection with alliances, partnerships or arrangements, we may also provide
certain information to third parties if we have determined that the information
will be used in a responsible manner by a responsible third party.
We also use third parties to facilitate our business, including, but not limited
to, sending email and processing credit card payments. In connection with these
offerings and business operations, our partners and other third parties may have
access to your personal information for use in connection with business activities.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer,
email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets
in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course
of corporate divestitures, mergers, or any dissolution.
