PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for the sites.  This privacy policy does not cover information we collect by means other than the Site.  If you have any questions about how we use information collected by means other than the Site, you should inquire at or before the time you give such information to us.

Note that this policy contains several important exceptions, most notably the exception involving use of information to identify or pursue persons who are under criminal investigation or who damage, or may damage, our information or other resources.  Please read the entire privacy policy to be sure that you understand these exceptions.
We are the sole owner of the information collected through the Site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from those disclosed in this policy.  We may collect information from users at several different points on the Site.
The Site may contain links to other websites. We do not operate those websites and we cannot control the information that the operators of such websites gather or what the operators of such websites do with the information.  We are therefore not responsible for the activities of the operators of such websites.

Where we collect nonpublic personal information from you, we or one or more of our service providers use industry-standard encryption and security standards to protect such information.  You can tell whether encryption is being used by noting the "locked" or other status indicator on the browser you are using.  If the browser you are using does not indicate that the session is secure (e.g. by displaying a lock, a key or another icon), you should assume that the connection is not secure and that third parties will receive the information shared by you and us during that part of the session.

We also use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information offline. All sensitive user information is maintained in our offices or at the facilities of our information technology provider. We cause access to servers and connections to be limited by key or other access. Only employees or agents who need the information to perform specific functions are granted access to personally identifiable information. We use reasonable efforts to assure that our employees and agents are informed of our security and privacy practices.
For the purposes of any applicable law regarding notification of persons whose personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person, our information security policy provides that any required notification may, where permitted by law, be made by the use of e-mail, telephone, fax, mail (including a notice printed in an available area of a bill or statement) or posting a notice on the Site.  The specific means used is up to us and we will use our judgment based on the circumstances.  Where any notice is to be sent to a specific address or number (such as e-mail address, physical address, telephone number, etc.), we will use the latest available address in our records.  EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AGREE TO THIS MEANS OF NOTIFICATION.
If we have collected personal information through the Site and (i) your personal information changes, (ii) you have reason to believe that your personal information as we maintain it is incorrect, or (iii) you no longer desire service associated with the personal information that we collected, you may contact us using the contact information below and we will accommodate all reasonable requests for such changes.

If we decide to change this privacy policy, we will post the changes on the Site.

Except as stated below, we will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THIS CHANGE PROCEDURE.
Notwithstanding anything else in this privacy policy to the contrary, we may collect personally identifiable information and use such information in ways other than those described above if we are required to do so by law or if we deem it advHisable in the course of assisting law enforcement activities or protecting our sites or other property.  Without limiting the foregoing, we reserve the right to use and disclose any information that you provide to us if we deem it advisable in the prosecution or defense of any litigation involving your use of this Site.
If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy or if you have questions regarding the policy, you may contact our privacy liaison using the following information.
