We are committed to protecting your privacy and security and have
explained in detail the steps we take to do so. We control this site
from offices in the United States of America. We do not represent that
materials on the site are appropriate or available for use in other
locations. Persons who choose to access this site from other locations
do so on their own initiative, and are responsible for compliance
with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
Outside Sites
The Site contains links to other websites that may offer products or
services that our customers might find useful. These sites may request
information from you. In such instances, the collection and use of
your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy
applicable to that site. We do not control the privacy policies,
contents or links that appear on these sites. We encourage you to review
the
privacy policies of any third party sites or services before providing
any of them with your personal information.
How and Why We Collect Information
We collect your information in order to record and support your
participation in the activities you select. If you register for a
support plan, for example, the information is used to enroll you in the
program,
to enroll you in our newsletters, to track your preferences, and to keep
you informed about the product and related products. As a visitor to
our Sites, you can engage in many activities without providing any
personal information.
In connection with other activities, such as those described above, we
may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out
and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you
to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these
activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal
information, such as your first and last name, mailing address
(including ZIP code),
e-mail address, telephone, credit card, and other personal information.
If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular
activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
In all cases, we will collect personal identification information from
you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will also
tell you how we use your information or if we share it with
another party. Except as otherwise provided in this policy, we will
never intentionally disclose any personal identification information
about you as an individual user to any third party without having
received your permission.
If you supply us with your contact information you may receive periodic
e-mails, mailings or calls from us with information on new products and
services, important issues, or upcoming events. If you wish to be
removed from any postal, e-mail, phone, or other lists, please let us
know by e-mailing us. You can also write us or call us at the contact
information above. Please provide us with your exact name, e-mail
address, mailing address, and phone. We will be sure your name is
removed from the appropriate lists immediately.
When you use our Sites, we or our authorized technology services
provider may also collect certain technical and routing information from
you to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. We use this
information to administer the Site and to understand and measure traffic
patterns on the Site so that we know which areas of our sites are
favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what
technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our
sites. This information is collected in aggregate form, without
identifying you or any user individually. We may use this aggregate,
non-identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing, or
similar promotional purposes.
This data is often tracked by us our our technology services provider by
using “cookies” during your visit. A cookie is small amount of data
that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only
be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your
identification card and enables us to record your passwords, purchases,
and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. Most
browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser
to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide
whether or not to accept it. (For some web pages that require
an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept
cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.)
Exceptions to Privacy Policy
While we are committed to keeping your information secure and private,
we have the following exceptions to our privacy policy: We will release
specific information about you or your account to comply with any
valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena,
statute or court order. We will also release specific information in
special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security
of the Sites, or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may
also transfer user information, including personally identifiable
information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the
sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental
corporate change.
Further, the information you enter when making a purchase or an online
donation will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways, and
your credit card company to authorize credit card payments.
Such information may also be shared with necessary third parties solely
for the purpose or carrying out the transactions. Please note that if
you give out personal information online through a discussion
board or posting site, that information can be collected and used by
third parties. Although we strive to protect our users’ privacy, we
cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these forums.
You disclose such information at your own risk.
