We are providing this Privacy Statement to inform you of our privacy policy and practices, and, of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. We've structured our web site so that, in general, you can visit us without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information.

This privacy statement covers personally identifiable information, anonymous data collection and aggregate reporting. Personally identifiable information is any information that is associated with your name or personal identity. Anonymous (non-personal) information is data about usage and service operation, reported in aggregate, which is not associated to a specific personal identity. Aggregate information is data collected and summarized in broad categories.

In order to personalize and improve web sites, services or communications, you may also be asked to provide information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, and experiences with the web sites, services or communications. Providing this additional information may be optional.

Most anonymous data is collected via cookies or other analysis technologies. At present our web pages do not use cookies or web beacons for data analysis and personalization services. We will not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and do not target information to children under 13. We are committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents to take an active role in their childen's online activities and interests.

How cookies, web beacons and other analysis technologies may be used:
A "cookie" is a small data file transferred by a web site to your computer's hard drive. A web-site may send cookies when you surf a site, make purchases, request information, for personalization, or if you register yourself or for certain services. Accepting the cookies used on a site does not give the site access to your Personally Identifiable Information, but the cookies may be used to identify your computer. Many cookies are "session" cookies, meaning the cookie does not stay on your computer after you leave the web site or close your browser. Cookies that remain on your computer are often called "permanent" cookies. These types of cookies are used to facilitate shopping, personalization and registration services. For example, cookies can keep track of what you have selected to purchase as you continue to shop and allow you to enter your password only once on web pages where a logon is required.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually refuse cookies or selectively accept certain cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser. If you turn off cookies, there may be some features of a site that will not be available to you and some web pages may not display properly. You can find information in the help area of most browsers on how to adjust your cookie preferences.
Some web pages and HTML-formatted email newsletters use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about web site usage. A web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1x1), or clear-GIF. You may render web beacons unusable by rejecting their associated cookies. This data is not personally identifiable or linked to personally identifiable information.
Currently we do not use any form of cookies or web beacons on our site.
We may use third-party media companies to place ads for our services on other companies' web sites. If you view a web page where our ads appear, the online media company may place a cookie on your computer or use a web beacon. This allows the online media company to recognize the computer when it is used to return to that site, or to measure advertising response. This data is anonymous and is not linked to personal data on the user's computer or to any of our databases. Some newsletters delivered on our behalf by online media companies use the same technologies. In both cases, this data is also used by the online media company to measure advertising and content interest and relevance. We do not have access to the data collected by the online media company. To prevent online media companies from placing cookies on your computer, you will need to visit each media company's web site and use their opt-out process.
