submitting information to this site.
We
will use reasonable efforts to include up-to-date and accurate
information in this Internet site, but makes no representations,
warranties, or assurances as to the accuracy, currency, or
completeness of the information provided. The owners of this site
shall not be liable for any damages or injury resulting from your
access to, or inability to access, this Internet site, or from your
reliance on any information provided at this Internet site.
This Internet site may provide links or references to other sites
but the owners of this site have no responsibility for the content
of such other sites and shall not be liable for any damages or
injury arising from that content. Any links to other sites are
provided as merely a convenience to the users of this Internet site.
Any personally identifiable information in electronic communications
to this Internet site is governed by this site's Privacy Policy. The
owners of this site shall be free to use or copy all other
information in any such communications, including any ideas,
inventions, concepts, techniques or know-how disclosed therein, for
any purposes. Such purposes may include disclosure to third parties
and/or developing, manufacturing and/or marketing goods or services.
The sender of any communications to this Internet site or otherwise
to the owners of this site shall be responsible for the content and
information contained therein, including its truthfulness and
accuracy.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the
collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
Information You Provide
Some areas of this site may ask you to submit personally
identifiable information in order for you to benefit from the
specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers,
or order processing) or to participate in a particular activity (such
as sweepstakes or other promotions). You will be informed what
information is required and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous information can
be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively
providing the information) using various technologies, such as
cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data
collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). Your Internet
browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous
information, such as the URL of the Web site you just came from and
the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your
computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous
information from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or
web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is
sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this
site might not work without cookies.
This site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous
information to provide better service to site visitors, customize
the site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics
and trends, and otherwise administer and improve the site for your
use. Such information is not combined with personally identifiable
information collected elsewhere on the site unless you have
consented.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web
browser that helps the site remember information about you and your
preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to
improve navigation, block visitors from providing information where
inappropriate (the site "remembers" previous entries of age or
country of origin that were outside the specified parameters and
blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical
information on the site. They are erased once you exit your Web
browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are
placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you
delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your
computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain
information you have previously provided (such as passwords),
helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most
valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences on
an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site on your
computer may hold personally identifiable information, but only if
you have registered or have otherwise consented to the retention of
personally identifiable information you have provided at the site.
Otherwise, our site's server only knows that an unidentified visitor
with your cookie has returned to the site.
You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all
cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you
can decide each time whether to accept it. To learn more about
cookies and how to specify your preferences, please search for "cookie"
in the "Help" portion of your browser.
A site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a
number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider
so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be
non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP
address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet),
rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). The IP
address can be used to diagnose problems with a server, report
aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer
to use in connecting to a site, and administer and improve the site.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell
the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser
type related to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on
online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different
pages of the site. Such tags indicate how many times a page is
opened and which information is consulted.
"Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream data)
are used for system management, to improve the content of the site,
market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use information collected via
this site to improve the content of our site, to customize the site
to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have
requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and for any
other purpose specified. In addition, we may make full use of all
information acquired through this site that is not in personally
identifiable form.
(i) to contractors we use to support our business (such as
fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and
financial institutions), in which case we will require such third
parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy
and use it for the same purposes;
(ii) in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of
the business of this site to which the information relates, in which
case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat it in
accordance with this Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes;
or
(iii) to respond to law enforcement requests or where required by
applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
The collection, use, and disclosure of information contemplated in
this Privacy Policy may involve a transfer of the information to
jurisdictions located outside your country of residence that may not
have equivalent laws and rules regarding personally identifiable
information. In these cases, you will be asked to consent to such
transfers and disclosures in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
To keep personally identifiable information that you provide via
this site accurate, current, and complete, please contact us as
specified below and we will take appropriate steps to update or
correct such information in our possession, or to delete your
information from our contact list.
Security
This site takes reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable
information as you transmit it to our site and to protect such
information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet
transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular,
e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites to
which this Privacy Policy does not apply. We encourage you to read
the Privacy Policy of every Web site you visit.
