Privacy Policy

Types Of Information Collected By Websites

There are two kinds of information that Web sites can obtain about you: “Anonymous Information” and “Personally Identifiable Information.”

“Anonymous Information” consists of non-personally-identifiable data, such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address or domain, or information about your usage of one or more of the websites used for administrative purposes only. For example, an IP address is a unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Users' IP addresses may be collected for such purposes as to help diagnose server problems and to report aggregate information to advertisers, corporate affiliates and consultants, and to third parties that perform particular services on a website owner's behalf. IP addresses may also be collected as a security precaution when customers initiate orders online, because although IP addresses themselves are non-personally identifiable, they are linked to information about you that is personally identifiable.

“Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, street address, email address, telephone number or credit card number. When such information are collected, for example, when you subscribe to an email newsletter, or participating in various interactive online activities such as forums, you will be advised that such information collection is being done and you can opt out if you want to.

Use of “Cookies”

Websites normally use “cookies” - data that is transferred from the website that you have visited to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes, and to make sure you do not see the same advertisements repeatedly. Websites also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your password in your machine so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit a website. Some of the advertisements appearing on the websites you are visiting are delivered by third-party ad networks. In the course of serving advertisements to such websites, the ad networks may place or recognize a unique “cookie” in your browser's cache, and may use Anonymous Information (including date/time of the banner ad displayed, the ad that was displayed and the IP address of the visitor) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you and to collect statistical information.

Third Party Web Sites

The websites you are viewing may contain links to third-party web sites beyond the control of the website administrator. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party web sites. Inclusion of any linked web site here does not imply or express an approval or endorsement of the linked web site by us, or of any of the content, opinions, products or services provided on these web sites. Even if an affiliation exists between us and a third-party web site, we exercise no control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a web site via a link from one of our webpages, we encourage you to consult that web site's privacy policy before providing any personal information, and whenever interacting with any such web site.

Public Forums

To encourage a healthy exchange of opinion, public websites may be made available that would allow you to post your views on certain topics of interests. Please remember that any information you post on such public forums may be used by us in any way that we see fit. Consequently, you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information or to upload material of any kind onto our website.
