Information You Provide
Registration Forms. We use registration forms, which allow our customers to register certain information about themselves with us. Through this registration form, we may collect your contact information (like your telephone number and physical and/or e-mail addresses). The contact information we collect is used for our own internal tracking purposes, order placement, information correction and internal records.

Information We Collect
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to enable our Web-based service.

Legally Required Disclosure of Information
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is legally required to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or other legal.

Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include information such as the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at the Site, and the Sites visited just before and just after our Site. By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our site.
