Our site may utilize a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and web server logs to collect information about how our website is used.

This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. 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 users to move from web page to web page and complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information Collected From Cookies?
We use website browser software tools such as cookies and web server logs to gather information about browsing activities in order to constantly improve our website and better serve our users. This information helps us continually improve our website to better meet the needs of our users and prospective users.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. This information lets us trace the paths users follow to our website as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our website and evaluate our website’s visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you.
Notice of New Services and Changes
We may use the information collected to notify you about important changes to our website, new services, and special offers. You can opt out of receiving these notifications by clicking on a response box when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email request to [email protected].
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal information to us on our website, secure server software encrypts it before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our website.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as social security, credit card, or account numbers through unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We are committed to protecting user information through encryption/security software, periodic reviews of operations and business practices, and limiting employee access to confidential information.

Evaluation of Information Protection Practices — Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with organizational policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality, and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations — Our organizational values, ethical standards, policies, and practices are committed to the protection of user information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes, and transactions.
