files to collect information about how my Web site is

What Are
Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text
document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier.
When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your
computer for permission to store this file in a part of your
hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site
can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your
browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has
already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other
sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if
you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the
configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose
to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some
areas of this site will not function as effectively when
viewed by the users.A cookie cannot retrieve
any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer
viruses.
How Do I Use Information I
Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and
browse this Web site, the site uses cookies to
differentiate you from other users. In some cases, I also
use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is
necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with the
Web server's log files, allow me to calculate the
aggregate number of people visiting my Web site and which
parts of the site are most popular. This helps me gather
feedback to constantly improve my Web site and better
serve my clients. Cookies do not allow me to gather
any personal information about you and I do not
intentionally store any personal information that your browser
provided to me in your cookies.
IP
Addresses
IP addresses are used by your
computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP
address is a number that is used by computers on the network to
identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically
collected by my web server as part of demographic and
profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as the
Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
Sharing and Selling
Information
I do not share,
sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely
identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal
details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to
process transactions or provide services that you have
requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your
Information?
You may request access to all
your personally identifiable information that I collect
online and maintain in my database by emailing me at
the usual address.
What About Legally
Compelled Disclosure of
Information?
I may disclose information when legally compelled to do
so, in other words, when I, in good faith, believe that the law
requires it or for the protection of my legal
rights. I may also disclose
account information when I have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against someone who may be violating
the Terms of Service or to protect the safety of my
users and the Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked
to My Web Site?
I am not responsible for
the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from my
Web site or the information or content contained therein. Often
links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to
information on topics that may be useful to the users
of my Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from my
Website to another web site, my Privacy Policy is no
longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other
web site, including web sites, which have a link on my
Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies.
Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.

Consent

the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or
without notice.
My Commitment To Data Security:
Please note that your
information will be stored and processed on my computers
in the United Kingdom. The laws on holding personal data in the
United Kingdom may be less stringent than the laws of your
Country of residence or citizenship. To
prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure
the correct use of information, I have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard and secure the information I collect
online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not
receive future messages. After unsubscribing I will
discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as
technically feasible.
Surveys &
Contests

via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or
contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a
choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip
code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify
the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
A Special Note About
Children
Children are not eligible
to use my services unsupervised
and I ask that children (under the age of
14) do not submit any personal information to me. If you
are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction
with permission and guidance from your parents or
guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in
Ownership
In the event that the web site (or a substantial portion of its
assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part
of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are
transferred.
Policy
Modifications I may change this
Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are made to
this privacy policy, I will email users who have given us
permission to do so. I will post any changes here, so be
sure to check back periodically. However, please be assured
that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, I will
not use the personal information you have submitted to me
under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially
inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior
consent.
