Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user.
Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on our site.
Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates.
For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not
have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our
site. If
a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site.
The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our site.
Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some
of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users 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

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’
information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line.
When
our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information,
that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL.
While on a secure page, such as our Secure 1003 Application the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when
you are just ‘surfing’.
If
you have any questions about the security at our website, you can contact
us.
Correction/Updating
Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as
your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will
endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s
personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member information page
or by emailing our Customer Support.
Some sites may also provide telephone or postal mail options for
updating or correcting
personal information.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was
collected, we will notify users by way of an email.
Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
