Notwithstanding any other provision, we may engage a data provider who may collect web

log data from you (including IP address and information about your browser or operating

system) via a tracking pixel, or place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to

enable you to receive customized ads or content through web, mobile or other media

channels. These cookies contain no personally identifiable information. The cookies may

reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have

submitted to us, e.g., your email address, that we may share with a data provider solely in

hashed, non-human readable form. To opt-out of these data provider cookies, please

visit http://www.aboutads.info/choic... or http://www.networkadvertising/choices.

How do we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal

information when you submit a request, place an order or enter, submit, or access your

personal information.

These security measures may include password protected directories and databases to

safeguard your information, SSL (Secure Sockets Layered) technology via HTTPS urls to ensure

that your information is fully encrypted and sent across the Internet securely or PCI Scanning to

actively protect our servers from hackers and other vulnerabilities.

We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers

database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems

and are required to keep the information confidential.

After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials,

etc.) will not be stored on our servers.

Do we use cookies?

Yes (cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard

drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers’

systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use

cookies for our own purposes on the sites and our partners may also use cookies on our sites

to fulfill purposes that we specify that we believe are consistent with this privacy policy.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

We do not sell, rent, loan, or give your email address or other personal information to anybody

without your express permission. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in

operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree

to keep this information confidential. We may provide third-party vendors with encrypted (i.e.

hashed) data that is not identifiable via personal information such as email, phone, address,

etc. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply

with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for

marketing, advertising, or other uses.

From time to time, our sponsors wish to contact our subscribers and customers who have

indicated an interest in their products, services or events. Before we disclose your personally

identifiable data to a third party for their own business purposes (such as a survey or a

sweepstake), we will first obtain your consent, for example via email, click-through, an online

opportunity to opt-out or otherwise. If you register for or access products, services or events

offered by these vendors, you choose to share your name and contact details directly with

those vendors so that they may contact you. For example, if you register for a vendor-branded

(or co-branded with us) resource, we will collect your registration information on behalf of that

vendor for its own use. When you register for an in-person or online event, we will provide your

registration information to the sponsor(s) of such event. If you want to know how a vendor or

advertiser will use data about you, we urge you to check that vendor’s or advertiser’s privacy

policy.
