In order for you to access certain services that we offer via the Site or otherwise, we may require you to provide us with information that personally identifies you, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address and home and business telephone numbers ("Personal Information").

Use of Cookies
We employ technology called "cookies" to store and sometimes track information about the users of this Site to provide you with a more personalized user experience. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from web page to web page and to complete commercial transactions over the internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but most browsers can also be configured to reject cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. If you refuse cookies, some portions of the Site may not function exactly as intended.
Uses and Sharing of Information Collected
Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with third parties, unless such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with legal process (such as a court order) or other legal requirements of any governmental authority; (b) protect our rights or property; (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of this Site, this website, or the public; or (d) operate or conduct maintenance and repair of our services or equipment, as authorized by law. Your Personal Information is stored on secure servers that are not accessible by third parties.
We may use Traffic Data to analyze trends, administer the Site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use so that we can better understand who our audience is and what it is that our audience wants. We may provide Traffic Data and/or other aggregate non-personally identifying information to third parties, including our affiliates and business partners.
We may use Personal Information to send you information about our company and services, or promotional material from some of our business partners, or to contact you when necessary.
