VISITING OUR SITE
You can always visit our site without revealing who you are or providing any Personal
Information. When you visit our site or visit our site through one of our partner's
sites, we do collect usage information ("session data"), but it is anonymous and
is not linked to you as an individual.
COOKIES
We may place a "cookie" on your personal computer. A cookie is a small computer
file that our computer sends to your computer and that your computer sends back
to us each time you make a request from our site. Cookies help us recognize you
when you visit our site again. We use cookies on our site to collect session data
for several purposes to personalize and improve your individual viewing experiences
on our site. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can
instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or prompt
you before accepting a cookie from the sites you visit. If you decide not to accept
our cookies, you will still be able to access those parts of our site that are available
to the general public, but you will not be able to view some information on our
site, use some features designed to enhance your experience at our site or access
many of the services offered at our site.
We also have third party advertisers ("advertisers") on our site. These advertisers
may use cookies and pixel tags to track session data about the ads you have seen
and types of things that you appear interested in. We do not share any Personal
Information about you with these advertisers unless you give us permission to do
so separate from any permission you provide during the registration process. However,
these advertisers may have other sources of information and their own privacy policies.
These advertisers may also use combined information about your visits to our site
and other sites in order to provide advertisements about related goods and services
that you may be interested in.

site. We will use this combined information to describe our user base, without reference
to any specific individual, to potential partners, investors and advertisers. We
will not share your Personal Information with any other users of our site, but we
may use information we collect about your preferences and experiences to make recommendations
to other users of our site. We may also share aggregated statistical information
about users of our site and our service and product offerings with others, including
our investors, vendors and partners. We will not link this statistical information
to any Personal Information that can identify you as an individual.

If you sign up for any of these additional products or services, we will share your
name and any other Personal Information that is necessary for these other companies
to provide the products or services you have signed up for. This policy will not
cover the use of your Personal Information by these other companies. We encourage
you to read each such company's privacy policy before signing up for any of its

Changing Personal

We are committed to giving you control over your Personal Information. You can change
your password and any of the Personal Information in your profile. If at any time
you want to view the Personal Information in your profile, your Personal Information
changes, you want to change the preferences associated with your account, or would
like us to remove some or all of the Personal Information stored in your profile,
you can correct, update, or remove the information and preferences you have shared
with us. If you request that we remove all of the Personal Information stored in

prominently post such changes prior to implementing the change. If any proposed
change is unacceptable to you, you may request that we remove your Personal Information
from our records.
How We Protect Your

We are committed to safeguarding your information. For that reason we utilize industry
standard security technology. Specifically, your information is secured from unauthorized
access from the Internet through industry-standard firewall technology. We also
protect the connection between your computer and our server from eavesdropping through
industry-standard encryption technology known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL). To ensure
that we fulfill our commitment to safeguard your information, we continually assess
new technology for protecting your information to make sure that our information
handling practices are in accordance with the highest industry standards and best
practices on the Internet at all times.

are leaving our site and entering another site that we do not control and for which
we cannot be responsible. You should carefully review the privacy statements or
policies on any other site that you visit because those privacy statements or policies
will apply to your visit to that site and may be very different from our policy.
