We respect the privacy of individuals who visit our website, send us e-mail, or participate in features/services we offer online. Accordingly, our policy regarding online privacy has been developed using the following guiding principles:
We maintain a strict “no-spam” policy. Subscribers to our email services (or any other feature/service found on our website) will not receive unsolicited email messages from us. We collect information online primarily to provide our visitors with a more relevant experience on our sites. When doing so, we will make every reasonable effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of data. We will take reasonable physical, electronic and managerial measures to safeguard and secure any information you provide to us (e.g., data will be stored in protected databases on secured servers with restricted access). We will not share any information you’ve provided to us with anyone without your consent other than to provide the service you’ve requested. At the time you register for any such service, you will be notified of, and asked to consent to, the sharing of your information with any particular third party necessary to the provision of the requested service.

Any time you visit our website, we may gather certain non-personally identifiable information regarding the means you use to access our site.

We use this information to help diagnose problems with our server, administer the website, and compile broad statistical data. In addition, we may gather certain navigational information about where you go on our website. This information enables us to determine which areas of the website are most frequently visited and helps us to tailor the site to the needs and interests of our online visitors.

This information may be used to provide you with information you’ve requested about our company, our products and our services, or to provide you with special notices. You may opt out of receiving future communications at any time (see opt-out procedures below). This data may also be used to tailor your experience on our site by providing content that is relevant to your interests and geographic region.
Information Collected from other Sources
To help us better understand and respond to your needs and interests, we may in the future receive information about you from other sources. We will ask any provider of such information to represent and warrant that the information has been gathered and maintained in accordance with all state and federal laws. Any such information will be maintained by us in accordance with the standards set forth in this privacy policy along with other personal information you’ve provided.
Disclosure of Personal Info
We understand the importance of your privacy. We collect and maintain the personal information of our visitors for our use only. We do not sell, rent, or trade consumer information to third parties, other than as described below, and never without your consent. Other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, you will be notified when any personally identifiable information about you may be shared with third parties, and you will be given the opportunity to decline to share that information.
