Providing third parties with statistical information about our users based on user behaviour in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners (but those third parties will not be able to identify any individual user from that information since we will only provide aggregated data from these analyses);

Any substantive information disclosed in this communication can be collected, correlated and used by third parties and can result in unsolicited messages from other posters and third parties. This is beyond our control.
Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the express approval of the user at the time of collection. At such points of collection, you will have the opportunity to indicate whether you would like to "opt in" to receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from us and/or any third parties.
We reserve the right to contact you regarding your account status, changes to the subscriber agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected about you or for your benefit.

We will, however, retain documents (including electronic documents) containing personal data:
To the extent that we are required to do so by law;
If we believe that the documents may be relevant to any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings; and
In order to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk).
Information Supplied by Your Browser
Our website uses cookies, which may automatically collect non-personal information and data. "Cookies" are small text files containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that a website can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the website and allow a website to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising by storing the cookie on the browser. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that a website stores about the user may be linked to the information stored and obtained from cookies.
You should know that we cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information of advertisers or third parties hosting data for us. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature. However, you should note that blocking all cookies may have a negative impact upon the usability of our website because you may not be able to use all of our website’s features.
Choice/Opt-Out
We will allow you to "opt out" of further promotional contacts at any time. Additionally, upon request, we will use best efforts to allow you to update or correct personal information previously submitted which you state is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete you and your personal information from our database; however, it may be impossible to delete your entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions.
Our Commitment to Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, technical and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. All electronic financial transactions entered into through our website are protected by encryption technology through a third-party processor.
However, the transmission of information over the Internet is inherently insecure and so we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the web. We will endeavor to take all reasonable steps to keep your personal information safe. Further, you are responsible for keeping the password you use for accessing our website confidential. We will not ask you for your password except when you log into our website.

Our website includes hyperlinks to, and details of, third party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies, the privacy practices or the content of other websites that may be linked to this website or of any third-party advertisers on this website. You should check the applicable privacy policies of these parties when you provide them with your personal information.
