Cookies. Cookies are pieces of information that a web site
transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping
purposes. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify
users, although they do identify a user's computer. Most browsers
are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set
your browser to refuse cookies. However, you may not be able to
take full advantage of a web site if you do so. We reserve the
right to use cookies to collect demographic and profile data for
purposes of delivering content specific to your interests.
Advertisers that display ads on our site may also use cookies;
however we do not have access to the information obtained from
cookies issued from other sites.
-
IP
Addresses. IP addresses are used
by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet.
Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the
network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically
collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile
data known as "traffic data" so that data (such as the web pages
you request) can be sent to you. We will not use your IP address
to attempt to identify your personal information.
-
Referrers.
A Referrer is the information
passed along by a web browser that references the Web URL you
linked from, and is automatically collected by our web server as
"traffic data". We reserve the right to use this information to
identify broad demographic trends that may be used to provide
information tailored to your interests. You will not be personally
identified from this information.
-
System
Information. System information
that we collect as part of "traffic data" includes time, the type
of web browser being used, the operating system/platform, and CPU
speed. This information is sent automatically by your web browser

computer system. You will not be personally identified from this
information.
-
Sharing of
Information. We feel strongly
that your personal data should only be seen by you, unless you
choose to share it with others. We will never sell, rent, license
or exchange personally identifiable data with a third party
without your permission. No personally identifiable data or
information will be shared with advertisers or partners without
your permission. Some of your information may be shared on an
aggregate basis only, as a part of a larger set of statistics (for
example, statistics that indicate the percentage of our members
that are female), but that information will not be sufficient to
permit the recipient to identify you. Notwithstanding the
forgoing, we will only disclose personally identifiable data
without your permission in the following limited circumstances:
(i) if we are required to do so by law, or (ii) if we have the
good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to
applicable laws or comply with legal process served on us, or to
protect and defend this site's rights or property or the rights or
property of an account holder of this site.
