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.
