Information Collection and Use
Personal Information
"Personal Information" means information that can identify you as a specific
individual, such as your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, or other
contact information, whether at work or at home.
On all Company web sites that collect Personal Information, we specifically
describe what information is required in order to provide you with the product,
service, or feature you have requested.
We collect Personal Information when you contact us, when you register with
us, when you use our products and services, when you submit an order with us,
when you visit our web sites or the web sites of certain of the Company
partners, and when you enter promotions and sweepstakes.

If you wish to subscribe to the Company newsletter(s), we will use your
name and e-mail address to send the newsletters to you.
Other Information Collected
Some information may be collected automatically every time you visit the
Company web sites, such as cookies and computer information. In addition,
information may be collected from other independent, third-party sources. We
also collect information about which pages you visit within this site. This site
visitation data is identified only by a unique URL.
Cookies
The Company uses both session ID cookies and persistent cookies as part of
its interaction with your browser. A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier (a
file) that the Company web sites transfer to your computer hard drive
through a web browser to enable its systems to recognize your browser for
record-keeping purposes. A session ID cookie expires when you close your
browser, while a persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended
period of time.
We use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the our web
sites. We use persistent cookies to identify and track which sections of its web
site you most often visit. We also use persistent cookies in areas of its web
site where you must register, and where you are able to customize the
information you see, so that you don't have to enter your preferences more than
once.
By configuring the options in your browser, you may control how cookies are
processed by your system. However, if you decline the use of cookies you may not
be able to use certain features on this site and you may be required to reenter
the information required to complete an order during new or interrupted browser
sessions.
Some of the Company business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on
the site. We have no access to or control over these cookies (see "Third Party
Advertising" and "Third Party Cookies" below). Accordingly, this Privacy Policy
covers the use of cookies by the Company only and does not cover the use of
cookies by any advertisers.

automatically and stores it in log files. This information includes internet

The Company uses this information to analyze trends, to screen for fraud, to
administer the Company sites, to track users' movements around the web sites
and to gather demographic information about the Company's user base as a whole.
Information from Third Party Sources
To improve services and enhance personalization, the Company may periodically

cookies on your computer.

The ads that appear from time to time on the Company web sites are

unauthorized access, improper disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the
