Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information we collect on the Site, how we may use that information and with whom we may share it. The Privacy Policy also describes the measures we take to protect the security of the personal information. Personal Information is information that can be used to identify, locate, or contact an individual. It also includes other information that may be associated with Personal Information.
Types of Personal Information We Collect
We collect the following types of Personal Information:
- Contact information, such as your name, email address, social media, and website.
Information We Collect by Automated Means
When you visit our Site, we may collect certain information by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, Web server logs and Web beacons.
Cookies are files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings in your browser. Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict or disable certain cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of our Site.
In conjunction with the gathering of information through cookies, our Web servers may log information such as your operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. The Web server logs also may record information such as the address of the Web page that referred you to our Site and the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. They may also log information about your interaction with this Site, such as which pages you visit.
To control which Web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags on our Web pages called “Web beacons or "pixel tags", which are small files that link Web pages to particular Web servers and their cookies.
In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other tools is used in non-identifiable ways, without any reference to Personal Information. For example, we use information we collect about Site users to optimize our Sites and understand its traffic and usage patterns. In other cases, we associate the information we collect using cookies and related technologies with Personal Information. In that case, this Privacy Policy governs how we use that information.

We reserve the right to transfer personal information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy.
