We respect the privacy of our online visitors. We
collect information on or through this site that can personally identify
you only when it is voluntarily offered by you. For example, we collect
personally identifiable information to respond to visitor questions and
comments about us and our products and services, to mail e-newsletters and
to contact winners of contests and promotions.
Our site sometimes includes sweepstakes or other promotions that we are
offering or are offering jointly with another company, and we may allow
you to enter electronically in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the
information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion (for
example, to contact you if you have won) and with your consent, to offer
you products and services of ours and our joint sweepstakes sponsors. In
addition, we may also collect demographic and other data for market
research, advertising and promotional purposes.
We do not share any of the personal information you provide to us with
any third party other than service providers of ours who assist us in
providing the information and/or services we are providing to you. To the
extent that we do share your personal information with a service provider,
we would only do so if that party has agreed to comply with our privacy
standards as described in this privacy policy.
Any non-personal information, communications and material you send to
this site or to us by E-mail are on a
non-confidential basis. We are free
to use and reproduce any such information freely, and for any purpose
whatsoever. Specifically, we will be free to use any ideas, concepts,
know-how or techniques contained in such information for any purpose,
including developing, manufacturing or marketing products. Any information
you send to this site must be truthful, not violate the rights of others
and be legal.
Like many other companies, we use "cookie" technology, where
our servers deposit special codes on a visitor's computer. This
information helps us determine in the aggregate the total number of
visitors to the site on an ongoing basis and the types of Internet
browsers (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) and operating
systems (e.g., Windows or Macintosh) used by our visitors. This
information is used to enhance your on-line visits. Under no circumstances
do we use this information to personally identify visitors or
cross-reference the information with any type of personal information that
is voluntarily offered on or through the site.
We may modify this policy at any time, in our sole discretion and all
modifications will be effective immediately upon our posting of the
modifications on this site. Unless we specifically provide otherwise, this
policy only applies to this site and our online activities, and does not
apply to any of our offline activities.
