By accessing this site website, you agree, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Information Collected &amp; Stored Automatically <\/strong><br \/>\nThe site operator may automatically collect and store anonymous information about site visitors to enable us to make the website more useful and improve the overall quality of the visitor\u2019s online experience. Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. We may collect the following anonymous information from you every time you access the website:<\/p>\n<ol type=\"a\">\n<li>Internet domain from which you access our website (e.g. google.com, your-company.com, bing.com)<\/li>\n<li>IP Address: An IP address is automatically assigned to your computer or mobile device when you surf the web. In some cases, these addresses may be individually or regionally identifiable. However, even when an IP address is identifiable, it usually takes additional effort to link a particular IP address to a specific individual. For many users, an IP address cannot be linked to a specific individual.<\/li>\n<li>Type of browser and operating system used to access our website<\/li>\n<li>Date and time of access<\/li>\n<li>Pages visited<\/li>\n<li>Address of the website (if any) from which you linked to\u00a0the website<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Weblogs may also be automatically created and used to identify visitors who seek to damage the website, use the website in unauthorized ways, or interfere with operations.\u00a0 Information about users who try to engage in any unapproved activities may be shared with law enforcement agencies.

In the situations described above, your personally identifiable information may be shared among our staff, members, and support services (including third party vendors) as we deem necessary. Once information reaches the correct office, it will be used in the same manner as comparable information collected in other ways. In no event will we sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to any third parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Linking to Other Sites\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom time to time, the website may provide links to other websites, not owned or controlled by us, that we think might be useful or of interest to you.\u00a0We cannot, however, be responsible for the privacy practices used by other website owners or the content or accuracy of those other websites.\u00a0Links to various websites do not constitute or imply endorsement of these websites, any products or services described on these sites, or of any other material contained in them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Security &amp; Data Quality<\/strong>\n<ol type=\"a\">\n<li>The site operator maintains its website and its information with technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect against loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification, and improper disclosure.
