We are not responsible for any third-party unauthorized use of your publicly displayed information.
As you use the Sites and Services, certain information may also be passively collected through technologies like cookies, web beacons and IP addresses. By knowing about you, we can provide more helpful information, programs, services, products and affiliate offers.
Cookies, Web Beacons and IP Addresses
We may send “cookies” (or small bits of information) to your computer in order to improve the quality of your interaction with the Sites. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until deleted) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience with the Site and Services.You may choose to accept or decline cookies from the Sites using your web browser settings. Please keep in mind that if you choose to refuse cookies some aspects of the Sites may not work properly for you.
We may also use “web beacons” (which are usually small, transparent graphic images) and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit, the features and information for which you searched and viewed, or the email you opened. This type of information is collected to make the Sites and Services more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.
An “Internet protocol address” or “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We, or our service providers, may track your IP Address when you access the Sites or Services to assist with delivering geographically targeted advertisements.
Use of Personal Information
We may use the personal information you provide to: respond to inquiries made through the Sites forms, fulfill your requests for communication or information, products or services (including our email newsletter), and to communicate with you about additional services, products, affiliate offers and educational information that we believe may be of interest to you.
Your personal information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any third-parties for any reason whatsoever without your consent. This does not include our agents, successors, or assigns or persons or entities that assist us in the operations of our business and site, including, but not limited to our email service providers, who have agreed to keep this information confidential.
We may provide your personal information to third-party service providers who work on our behalf or help us to operate our business, the Sites, the Products and the Services. Examples of such service providers include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services, and/or content for sending email, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing payments (including credit card payments), and providing customer service. Access to your personal information by these service providers is limited to the information reasonably necessary to perform its limited function. These service providers have an obligation under their contracts with us to keep your personal information confidential.
There may be other instances where we may need to share your personal information in order to protect ourselves, such as instances of suspected copyright or intellectual property infringement, or as required by law, such as in response to a legal process, order, or investigation.
Protecting Your Information
Keeping your personal information secure and private is of high-importance to us. We make every effort to maintain the security and privacy of your personal information through electronic, physical, and organization procedures. We employ reasonable and current security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of information. We use secure server software (SSL) to process all financial transactions that occur on the Sites.
But, please understand that no exchange of information online can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You acknowledge that you are using a third-party connection and communication system, and we take no responsibility for such a third-party system or the exchange of your information through such a third-party system. You acknowledge that you provide personal information to us at your own risk. You agree to release any and all claims related to or arising out of our exchange and collection of your personal information.
