Use of Your Information

Anonymous Information.  We may aggregate, evaluate, and use Anonymous Information to improve the Website and our business, and we may provide it to third parties.  We may use cookies, IP addresses, or other Anonymous Information to analyze trends, administer the Website, track customer site navigation, gather broad demographic information, and make the Website better for you.

Personal Information.  Gathering Personal Information about our users allows us to serve you better.  We will never use your Personal Information in a way that is prohibited by applicable law.  Here are some ways in which we might use your Personal Information:

• Our Business Purposes. We may use your Personal Information for our everyday business purposes, such as to provide services to you, to communicate information and updates to you, and to update our profile about you.  Additionally, we may share your Personal Information with companies related to us by common ownership or control, and they may use your Personal Information for their everyday business purposes.
• Service Providers. From time to time, we may employ companies and individuals to perform certain services on our behalf (such as conducting audits, performing legal services, processing credit card payments, or providing customer service).  These third-party service providers may have access to Personal Information, but only to the extent required to perform their assigned roles, and they may not use your Personal Information for any other reason.

We may transfer any information, including your Personal Information, in the event of a transfer of ownership, assets, securities, or bankruptcy involving us and in connection with business transactions such as buying or selling subsidiaries or engaging in joint ventures with third parties; provided, however, that we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use any transferred information, including your Personal Information, in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

The Internet is constantly changing, as is the nature of our Internet business operations, so we will likely need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time.  You should check this Privacy Policy frequently to review the latest version of the Privacy Policy.  Our posting an amended version of the Privacy Policy on the Website will serve as notice to you of that amendment.
