We recommend that you check the privacy policies of those sites to see how your personal information from interacting with those sites will be used.

A NOTE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS (ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT OF 2003 --OPPA)

It is the intent of this Privacy Policy to comply with the California Act. Various provisions of this Privacy Policy specifically address the requirements of the act. In summary, you must presume that we collect electronic information from all visitors to this site. The information we collect is usually not personally identifiable. If you purchase a product or service via this website (and thereby become covered by the Act), the purchase agreement you electronically sign prior to purchase allows the website to collect and archive all the personal information you provide and to transmit and/or transfer that personal information to third parties. There is no way you can modify this information and you have no right to do so. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, you have no right to view or receive any information about our database. In the event that the website, under advice of counsel agrees to divulge information, the requesting party must submit whatever information is demanded by the website in insure that the website is releasing information to the correct party. Other provisions of the OPPA may exempt this website from complying. While we take measures to ensure that outside parties do not have access to any information we have about you, we do not warranty that outside parties will not breach our system and thus have access to your information. (You should know that merchant service providers do not allow us access to your credit card information.) This Privacy Policy also is subject to change without notice. You are required to read it prior to using the website. By interacting with the website you agree to the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy. By using the website or purchasing a product through this website, you waive the right to use state or federal court systems to address complaints and, instead, agree to use the American Arbitration Association located in a city and county specified herein.

ABOUT THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THIS WEBSITE COLLECTS AND HOW IT IS USED

This website routinely collects information about its visitors, subscribers, members, users, 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, User, 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 and polls; it can include on-line forms; it can include a sweepstakes or contest; it can include watching videos or listening to audio files; 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. This information may include (without limitation) your name, postal address, zip code, email address, telephone numbers, fax numbers, instant messaging details, other contact information, credit card information, gender, birth date and information about your interests in various products or services and programs (“Personally Identifiable Information”).

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

If any user will purchase any product or service on this website, payment would be conducted via PayPal (www.paypal.com) or CC Avenue (http://www.ccavenue.com/)

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. We reserve the right to contact you regarding your account status and changes to subscriber agreements, Privacy Policy, customer service issues, announcements of site issues or any other policies or agreements relevant to you.

INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM ELECTRONIC MEANS AND “COOKIES”

Many websites, including this one, automatically collect information about your computer, your email address, your IP address, your browser and operating system, the date and time you used the site, the amount of time you spent on the site and specific pages, and the URL address from which you linked to this website. You must assume that your web-viewing or web-use activity is monitored, tracked, and information on your usage is collected including which pages you visit on the site and how long you spend on each page. This information is not usually of a personal nature, but it may help define your viewing habits and product preferences even though the website may or may not have any idea who you are. We maintain this data in both personally identifiable and aggregate, collective form. We reserve the right to use this data, either in aggregate or personal form, for any business purpose, such as analyzing trends and seeking compatible advertisers and partners.

Like most websites, we employ a data collection device called "cookies." " Cookies" is web jargon for little bits of computer code placed on your hard drive that allow you to interact and communicate more efficiently with the website. They also allow us to track your activities on this site, including but not limited to the advertisements and offers you respond to. Websites use this to keep you “logged in”, to keep track of search criteria, to monitor use, 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.

Cookies can be used to electronically gather information about you. Again, it may or may not be personal information, but it is information and by using this site you are expressly giving permission to use “cookies” and to use the information gathered from their use to benefit you. You also give permission to collect, archive, retrieve, and use any information collected for product design, product offers to you, and general commercial solicitation purposes by this site or joint venture partners, affiliates, and marketing organizations.

Some of our advertisers may also send cookies to your browser which may be saved on your computer. We have no control over cookies placed by our advertisers. If you don’t want to receive cookies, you may be able to alter the settings of your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when one is about to be placed on your computer. However, if you set your browser to reject cookies, you may find that you are unable to use certain features of the website.

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 us to collect, archive, retrieve, publish, and otherwise use any information collected as the site sees fit. All information transmitted, printed, uploaded or otherwise submitted to this website shall be deemed to be the property of the website and its owners/publishers who shall be free to use such information for any lawful purpose as detailed herein.

We reserve the right to release such information to law enforcement or other governmental officials as we, in our sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary to comply with the law. Any communication which, in its sole discretion, the site deems to be a testimonial, may be publicized for commercial purposes without your express permission.

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.
