Privacy Policy

General
We respect your privacy. We do collect information from you, but it is our policy and priority to ensure that all personal information remains private and secure. To earn your trust and confidence in the Internet and this web site, we are disclosing both our privacy practices and the ways we use the information we gather.

To protect your privacy, our technology and service providers:

Provide a privacy notice and/or a link to this Privacy Policy on all pages that ask for personal information;
Will not release personal identifying information about you except as described in this policy or otherwise disclosed on the page that asks for personal information; and
Will not knowingly collect or use personal identifying information from children younger than 13 without parental consent.

Our Terms & Conditions are available here.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time and will alert you that changes have been made by indicating on the Privacy Policy the date it was last updated. But no amendment to this Privacy Policy will, in itself, alter the choice you have already made about how we can use your personal information. That is, if you should choose to not permit us to share your personal information with third parties under the prior policy, then we will continue to honor your choice under the revised Privacy Policy. Because changes to this site and revisions to the Privacy Policy may alter how personal information is collected from you and used by us, you should review the Privacy Policy from time to time. It is your responsibility to make sure you understand our current information practices at the time you decide to allow us to use you personal information, or whenever you change your mind about how we can use it. Remember, your decision to continue using this site after this Privacy Policy is amended will signify that you have agreed to any new Privacy Policy for information collected from that point forward.
