practices and our customers' needs.

I provide the same protections for these electronic communications that I employ in the maintenance of information
received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, my Web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server log files to collect information about how my Web site is used.
Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed,
time spent at my Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after my Web site.
How Do I Use the Information That You Provide to Me?
Broadly speaking, I use personal information for purposes of administering my business activities, providing the
products and services you requested, to process your payment, to monitor the use of the service, my marketing and
promotional efforts and improve my content and service offerings, and customize my site's content, layout, services
and for other lawful purposes. These uses improve my site and better tailor it to meet your needs.
Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis. Personally identifiable
information or business information will not be shared with parties except as required by law.
Occasionally, I may also use the information I collect to notify you about important changes to my Website, new
services, and special offers I think you will find valuable. You may notify me at any time if you do not wish to
receive these offers by emailing me at the link provided on the newsletter.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web
site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive
specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it
has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies.
However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse
cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of my site will not
function as effectively when viewed by the users.A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or
pass on computer viruses.
How Do I Use Information I Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse my Web site, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, I
also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction
with my Web server's log files, allow me to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting my Web site and which
parts of the site are most popular. This helps me gather feedback to constantly improve my Web site and better
serve my clients. Cookies do not allow me to gather any personal information about you and I do not intentionally
store any personal information that your browser provided to me in your cookies.
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 my
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.
Sharing and Selling Information
I do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email
addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide
services that you have requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that I collect online and maintain in my
database by emailing me at the usual address.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
I may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when I, in good faith, believe that the
law requires it or for the protection of my legal rights. Imay also disclose account information when I have reason
to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be violating my Terms of Service or to protect the safety of my users and the Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to My Web Site?
I am not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from my Web site or the information or
content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics
that may be useful to the users of my Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from my Website to another web site, my Privacy Policy is no
longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other web site, including web sites, which have a link on my
Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.
Your Consent
By using my Web site you consent to my collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy
Policy. I reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or without notice.
My Commitment To Data Security:
Please note that your information will be stored and processed on my computers in Europe. The laws on holding
personal data in Europe may be less stringent than the laws of your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, I have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information I collect
online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not receive future messages. After unsubscribing I will
discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as technically feasible.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time my site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys
or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and
award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of
this site.
A Special Note About Children
Children are not eligible to use my services unsupervised and I ask that children (under the age of 14) do not
submit any personal information to me. If you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with
permission and guidance from your parents or guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in Ownership
In the event that the web site (or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would be
considered part of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are transferred.
Policy Modifications
I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are made to this privacy policy, I will email
users who have given me permission to do so. I will post any changes here, so be sure to check back periodically.
However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, I will not use the personal
information you have submitted to me under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with
this Privacy Policy, without your prior consent.
