Privacy Policy (Effective Date as of July 1, 2008)
This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) governs the online information collection practices of this website (the “Site”). Specifically, it outlines the types of information that we gather about you while you are using the Site, and the ways in which we use this information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may provide to us through means other than this Site (for example, offline, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail).
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Internet is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we will post the changes to this Privacy Policy on the Site and update the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the Site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.
We believe that it is especially important to protect privacy online and encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their young adults to participate and monitor their Internet activity. If you are under 18, we recommend you get your parents’ or guardians’ permission before disclosing any information about yourself to anyone on the Internet. We do not filter advertisements or other content that young adults may receive, and they could receive content and materials from the Internet and/or advertising that are inappropriate for their age if left unsupervised.
Note: This Site is not intended for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children under this age. If you are under 13 you should discontinue use of this Site. We suggest that all parents and legal guardians supervise their children's exploration of online services, and teach their children about protecting their personal information online. If any parent desires to find out if we have collected personal identifiable information or learn what information your child may have submitted to us, please contact us at the address below. Please be sure to include your email address and a telephone number where we can reach you. To protect your child’s privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting you access to the personal information that we collect and maintain about your child.

2. Information that is Automatically Collected.
We collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate through the Site, including, without limitation, data such as your browser, your IP address, your referrer addresses, and generally accepted log information.
In order to collect this information, we use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience on the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes that identifies your browser. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you have entered preference information before. We may also use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open our HTML-formatted email messages. Another example of information that we may automatically collect as you navigate the Site is log information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, including such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser . This information allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site.
How is this Information Used?
We use the information we collect from you while you are using the Site in a variety of ways, including using the information to customize features and advertising that appear on the Site. We also may provide your information to third parties, such as service providers, contractors, and advertisers, for a variety of purposes. For example, we may provide our advertisers with information about you and other visitors that will enable our advertisers to better target advertising to specific types of visitors.
We reserve the right to use and to disclose to third parties all of the information that we collect online about you and other visitors in any way and for any purpose, with one important exception. We will not authorize third parties to use the information that we collect online from you to mail or email promotional offers directly to you from us unless you have informed us that you would like to receive such promotional offers from us. If you choose to receive these promotional offers, then your information may be used for direct mail or email marketing. If you do not wish to receive such promotional offers or other emails, you should always uncheck the button that we provide in connection with registration. You may view or update your preference to receive these promotional offers by visiting us at our registration page.
Please also keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information available for viewing by third parties online – for example on message boards, through email or web logs, or in chat areas – that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides us. We cannot be responsible for any use of such information by third parties.
We offer some of our services in connection with other websites. This Site also includes links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties.

When you access another website or purchase third party products or services through the Site, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the third party operator of the site you are visiting or the third party provider of such products or services. This includes those parties we have contracted with to provide advertising, usage and other services with respect to the Site. These other privacy policies may be different and we encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information to other websites . We have no responsibility for how those other websites use such information. Once you leave our servers (you can generally tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), the use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting.

Additionally, we may disclose your personal information in situations that we believe to be emergencies involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person or property if we believe that your personal information in any way relates to that threat.
Please also note that as our business grows, we or our affiliates may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that we or our affiliates sell some or all of our assets, or this Site is acquired by another company, information about our visitors and/or registered users may be among the transferred assets.
