ABOUT THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THIS WEBSITE COLLECTS AND HOW IT
IS USED
This
website routinely collects information about its visitors, subscribers,
members, and customers. This information is obtained in various ways,
such as:
VISITOR, SUBSCRIBER, MEMBER, OR CUSTOMER INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM
'REGISTRATION'
Registration
means that the Visitor, Subscriber, Member, or Customer
takes active, positive steps to communicate information to this website. This
can include pages or 'pop ups' where you register for a newsletter
or subscribe
to a mailing list; it can include your participation in
visitor surveys; it can include requesting information from the website
via email, mail,
or courier; it may be from joining an affiliate program
or other membership organization, paid or unpaid; it may be from ordering
a product.
Occasionally
complete credit card information may be provided to the website via
fax or a fill-in form rather than regular secure merchant service processing. This
information is kept at the highest level of security and is never divulged
to anyone except the merchant service provider or for the purpose of
communication with the customer.
ONLINE ORDERING
Online
ordering via SSL encrypted communication provided by shopping
cart services supporting merchant service companies like
Visa and Master
Card provides information to the website but does not
provide complete credit card numbers. In the process of online ordering,
the customer provides, name, address, city, state, email
address, phone number,
CVV2 (back of card) number, and, occasionally a member
password. You
should consider all this information available to the website. This
information is used to deliver the product, but under the
Purchase Agreement you also approve its use for general
solicitation purposes.
VISITOR EMAIL INQUIRIES
Website
visitors who wish to communicate with the website do so under two conditions: one,
they give their permission for contact by the website; two, they are
subject to any ‘submission’ provisions of the Terms of Use, Purchase
Agreement, or this Privacy Policy. While your email address may or
may not be used to solicit you, it is added to the website's general
solicitation database.
CUSTOMER EMAIL OR TESTIMONIALS
If
you are a customer and send an email to the website, or if you communicate
with the site by phone or mail, the website collects information about
your communication and by communicating with the site you give your
permission to collect, archive, retrieve, and otherwise use any information
collected as the site sees fit.
Any
communication, which, in its sole discretion, the site
deems to be a testimonial, may be publicized for commercial purposes.
INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM VISITOR INTERACTION WITH BANNERS, POPUPS,
OR SITE ADVERTISERS
Visitors
clicking on banners or pop-ups or hyperlinked advertising,
appearing on this website, must assume that information is being collected
about
them. This site is not responsible for the use of information collected
in such a fashion. Visitors must assume that (1) information

"Cookies" is
web jargon for bits of computer code placed on your hard
drive. Websites
use this to keep you 'logged in', to keep track of search
criteria, to monitor use, and to password protect use of
the site or use of products
sold by the site. Cookies can also be used to obtain information about
your computer configuration or your use of your computer.

and marketing organizations.

use of information, as described below, may or may not
be how information that is collected, is customarily used
by this site. While

conservatively, you
