4 . Cookies
4.1 We use “cookies” to store specific information
about you and track your visits to our Site. It is not uncommon
for web sites to use cookies to enhance identification of
their users. A “cookie” is a small amount of
data that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's
hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your computer’s
hard drive only if you access our Site using the computer.
If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each time
you use the same computer to access our Site, our web servers
will be notified of your visit to our Site and in turn we
may have knowledge of your visit and the pattern of your
usage. Generally, we use cookies to identify you and enable
us to access your Registration Information, Publishing Information
or Payment Information so you do not have to re-enter it;
gather statistical information about usage by Users; research
visiting patters and help target advertisements based on
User interests; assist our partners to track User visits
to the Site and process orders; and track progress and participation
in promotions.
4.2 You can determine if and how a cookie will be accepted
by configuring your browser’s which is installed in
the computer you are using to access the Site. If you desire,
you can change those configurations in your browser. By setting
your preferences in the browser, you can accept all cookies,
you can be notified when a cookie is sent, or you can reject
all cookies. If you reject all cookies by choosing the cookie-disabling
function in your browser, you may be required to re-enter
your information on our Site more often and certain features
of our Site may be unavailable.
5. Minors
The Site and its contents are not intended to be targeted
to minors under applicable law and we do not intend to sell
any of our products or services to minors. However, we have
no way of distinguishing the age of individuals who access
our Site and so we carry out the same Privacy Policy for
individuals of all ages. If a minor has provided us with
personal information without parental or guardian consent,
the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information.
6. Security Measures
6.1 We employ commercially reasonable security methods
to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and
ensure correct use of information.
6.2 As a Registered User, your Registration Information,
Publishing Information and Payment Information (if any) can
be viewed and edited through your Account, which is protected
by Password. We recommend that you do not divulge your Password
to anyone. Our personnel will never ask you for your Password
in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail.
If you share a computer with others, you should not choose
to save your log-in information (e.g., User ID and Password)
on the computer. Remember to sign out of your Account and
close your browser window when you have finished your session.
6.3 No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless
network can be guaranteed and perfectly secured. As a result,
while we try to protect your information, no web site or
company, including ourselves, can absolutely ensure or guarantee
the security of any information you transmit to us and you
do so at your own risk.
7. Changes to Privacy Policy
Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be communicated
through our posting an amended and restated Privacy Policy
on our Site. Our posting the amended and restated Privacy
Policy will make such new Privacy Policy immediately effective.
