How Do We Use Tracking Technologies?

A "cookie" is a small file placed on your hard drive by some of our web pages. We, or third parties we do business with, may use cookies to help us analyze our web page flow, customize our services, content and advertising, measure promotional effectiveness and promote trust and safety. Cookies are commonly used at most major transactional websites in much the same way we use them in our Services.

You may delete and block all cookies from our Services, but parts of the Services may not work. We want to be open about our cookie use.

Even if you are only browsing the Services, certain information (including computer and connection information, browser type and version, operating system and platform details, and the time of accessing the Services) is automatically collected about you. This information will be collected every time you access the Services and it will be used for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

You can reduce the information cookies collected from your device. An easy way of doing this is often to change the settings in your browser. If you do that you should know that:

• (a) your use of the Services may be adversely affected (and possibly entirely prevented),
• (b) your experience of this and other sites that use cookies to enhance or personalize your experience may be adversely affected, and
• (c) you may not be presented with advertising that reflects the way that you use our and other sites.

Web beacons may be used to track the traffic patterns of users from one page to another in order to maximize web traffic flow.

How Do We Secure Your Information?

We take reasonable steps to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or destruction.

If you have an account with us, you are responsible for keeping your membership details confidential. Your account is protected by your account password and we urge you to take steps to keep your information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use. We further protect your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls and secure socket layer technology. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.

We retain your data while your account is in existence or as needed to provide you Services. This includes data you or others provided to us and data generated or inferred from your use of the Services.
