The Company is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. The Company collects
information from our users at several different points on our Website.

In order to access and utilize this website, users are required to complete the registration form.
This form includes providing essential contact details, such as the user's name and email
address. The information collected during registration serves the purpose of reaching out to the
user regarding services available on our website that align with their expressed interests.
Use of Information
The company, along with its operational service partners, gathers and utilises your personal
information to effectively operate and provide the services you've requested. Additionally, the
company employs your personal information to keep you informed about other products or
services offered by the company and its affiliates. Periodically, the company may reach out to
you through surveys to gather insights into your opinions on existing services or potential new
offerings.
It's important to note that the company does not sell, rent, or lease customer lists to third parties.
On occasion, the company may contact you on behalf of external business partners regarding
specific offerings that might be of interest to you, but in such cases, your personal information is
not transferred to the third party.
For certain services, we may enlist the assistance of other companies to provide limited services
on our behalf, such as handling mailings, offering customer support, processing transactions, or
conducting statistical analysis of our services. These companies only receive the necessary
personal information to deliver the service, and they are bound by confidentiality agreements to
safeguard your information and prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
The company is committed to not using or disclosing sensitive personal information, such as
details about race, religion, or political affiliations, without obtaining your explicit consent.
In specific circumstances, the company may access and/or disclose your personal information if
required by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) comply with legal
obligations or legal processes served on the site, (b) protect and defend the rights or property of
the company, or (c) respond to exigent circumstances to ensure the personal safety of site users
or the public.
User Profile
We retain information gathered from log files, clear gifs, and/or third-party sources to construct a
profile of our users. A profile comprises stored data about individual users, outlining their
viewing preferences. As a result, the collected information is linked to personally identifiable
information to offer special deals and enhance the website's content for the user. This profile
serves to customise a user's experience on our website and target relevant marketing
promotions to them. It's important to note that we do not disclose your specific profile to external
third parties; instead, it is shared in an aggregated, anonymised form.
Server Logs
Similar to typical website servers, we employ log files to collect information. These log files
encompass details such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the number of clicks.
The purpose is to analyze trends, manage the site, track users' movements in an overall sense,
and compile general demographic information for collective use. It's important to note that IP
addresses and other collected data are not connected to personally identifiable information.
Site Communications
Service Notifications
In certain instances, there may be a need to dispatch service-related announcements. For
example, if our service undergoes temporary suspension for maintenance purposes, users
might receive an email notification. Typically, users do not have the option to opt-out of these
communications, but they retain the ability to deactivate their account. It's important to note that
these communications are strictly informational and not intended for promotional purposes.
Sharing
Legal Disclosure
While we strive to safeguard user privacy, there may be instances where we are compelled to
reveal personal information as mandated by law. This disclosure is undertaken in good faith,
under the belief that it is necessary to comply with an ongoing judicial proceeding, a court order,
or a legal process served on our website.
Combined Data (Non-personally Identifiable)
At present, we do not distribute combined demographic data to our partners and advertisers.
Choice/Opt-Out
Our users have the option to "opt-out" if they prefer not to have their information utilized for
purposes unrelated to our website. For instance, our registration form includes an opt-out
feature. This allows users who make a purchase or subscribe to our service but do not wish to
receive marketing materials to keep their email addresses off our mailing lists.
Hyperlinks
Within this website, you'll find links to other sites. It's important to note that we, The Company,
are not accountable for the privacy practices employed by these external sites. We urge our
users to exercise caution when navigating away from our site and to review the privacy
statements of each website that gathers personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement exclusively pertains to information collected within this particular website.
Security Measures
This website employs comprehensive measures to safeguard the information of our users.
When users submit sensitive information through the website, we ensure that their data is
protected both online and offline.
For sensitive information entered through our registration or order forms, we use top-tier
encryption software in the industry known as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). On secure pages,
such as our order form, the lock icon at the bottom of web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Microsoft
Internet Explorer) appears locked, indicating a secure connection. This encryption is not limited
to data transfer; we also store sensitive details like passwords in encrypted format.
While online security is a priority, we extend our efforts to protect user information offline as well.
All user information, including the sensitive data mentioned earlier, is confined within our offices.
Access to personally identifiable information is granted only to employees who require it for
specific job roles, such as our billing clerk or customer service representative. These employees
adhere to password-protected screen-savers when leaving their desks, necessitating password
re-entry upon return. Our commitment to security and privacy practices is reinforced through
regular updates for all employees. They are informed annually and whenever new policies are
implemented, emphasizing the importance we place on privacy and outlining measures to
ensure user information remains secure. Additionally, the servers housing personally identifiable
information are located in a secure environment within a locked facility.
For any inquiries regarding the security of our website, users are welcome to email The
Company.
Supplementing Information
In order to fulfill our commitment to users, it is necessary for us to enhance the information we
receive by incorporating data from third-party sources.
Purchase History
At present, we do not share purchasing information with our partners.
Improving Marketing Profiles
To refine our advertising efforts and present relevant offers, we acquire third-party marketing
data and integrate it into our existing user database. This allows us to enhance or supplement
the profiles of individual users. It's important to note that this aggregated marketing data is
associated with users' personally identifiable information. For more details, refer to the "Profile"
section.
