Like the operators of most web sites, we may use tracking software and similar technology, which automatically collects information about your computer hardware and software, and use of the Site. This information may be used by us for the operation of the Site and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Site. Many commercial web site operators collect this information in similar ways.

How Do We Use and Protect Your Personal Information?
When we collect personal information we include it in our computerized database of customers and potential customers. We will use reasonable practices to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. While we will use such efforts, we cannot and will not act as insurers of the security of your personal information. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any disclosure of data due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third party access or other acts of third parties, or acts or omissions beyond our reasonable control.
When Will We Disclose Your Personal Information?
We will not disclose your personal information to third parties who are not our affiliates without your consent. We will, however, share your personal information with our affiliates. Our “affiliates” include our technology consultants and web masters, customer service representatives and contractors who we engage or partner with to provide products, services, support and marketing to our customers and potential customers. In addition, we do not sell customer lists or customer information for marketing purposes with unaffiliated third parties. However, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information without your consent for any of the following reasons:
- Disclosure to Successors. We may disclose your personal information to any actual or potential successor-in-interest of ours, such as a company that is seeking to acquire us.
- Site Administrators. We may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers who help us provide, build or maintain the Site. We require by contract that these third-party service providers implement and maintain reasonable practices to protect your personal information.
- Other Disclosure. We will disclose your personal information without your consent to prevent an emergency, to protect or enforce our rights, to protect against suspected credit card fraud, to protect or enforce the rights of a third party, or as required or permitted by law (including, without limitation, to comply with a subpoena or court order).
