Privacy Policy
Effective May 5, 2009
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may change or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Privacy Policy changes will apply to the information collected from the date we post the revised Privacy Policy to the Websites, as well as to existing information held by us.
If we decide to change this policy in a material way, we will obtain the necessary consents required under applicable privacy laws if we seek to collect, use or disclose Personal Information for purposes other than those to which consent has been obtained, unless otherwise required or permitted by law. If any proposed change is unacceptable to you, you may request that we remove your Personal Information from our records.
Third Parties and Advertising
When you click on a third party's link from our Websites, you will leave our Websites and will enter that third party's Websites. We are not responsible for such third party's Websites. You should carefully review the privacy statements of any other Websites you visit, because those privacy statements will apply to your visit to that Websites, and may be very different from our policy.
Third parties advertise on our Websites, and we also contract with third parties to serve ads across the Internet. These third parties may display ads about our products or services, or third party products or services in which, based on your Session Data, we or our business partners believe you may be interested. While we may share Data with third parties to help facilitate the serving of these ads, we do not share any Personal Information about you unless you give us permission to do so, separate from any permission you provide during the Member registration process. These third parties may seek to use cookies and pixel tags, including those collected on our Websites, to track Session Data about the ads you have seen and types of things in which you appear interested. These third parties may also use combined information about your visits to our Websites and other Websites in order to provide advertisements about related goods and services that could be of interest to you.
Cookies and other tags
A Cookie is a small text file that our computer sends to your computer, and that your computer sends back to us each time you make a request from our Websites. A cookie contains a unique identification number that identifies the visitor's browser, but not necessarily the visitor. A pixel tag is a small graphic image similar to a cookie.
When you access our Websites, our computer may seek to place "cookies" or "pixel tags" on your personal computer to collect Session Data. Cookies and pixel tags are used to help us recognize you when you visit our Websites again, or to help us customize your online experience. Unless a visitor specifically informs us of his/her identity (e.g. by registering with us), we will not know who the individual visitor is.
Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie from the Websites you visit. You can learn more about the use of cookies by visiting http://networkadvertising.org or http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
If you decide not to accept our cookies, you will be able to access those parts of our Websites that are available to the general public, but you may not be able to access all of the Products and Services offered at our Websites.

We send this information directly ourselves or via third party service providers.
If you do not opt-out from receiving these communications about our Websites, we will send them to you.
At any time you may change which of the communications you wish to receive or not, by changing your preferences as described in How to access, modify or delete Personal Information.
In addition, in our e-mails and other communications we will include instructions on how to unsubscribe and inform us of preferences if you decide you do not want to receive any future marketing or promotional e-mails from us.
