We believe it is important for you to understand what information we may receive and how we may use it. When you visit our website, you are accepting the terms and practices described in this privacy policy, including any changes or revisions. Please take a moment to read this privacy policy. You will be asked to acknowledge that you have read this privacy policy and agree to its terms in order to complete your registration. You may also from time to time be asked to confirm your agreement to any changes in the terms of this privacy policy. We suggest that you periodically review this privacy policy to be aware of any changes to these terms and conditions.

We may collect nonpublic, personal information about you from the following sources:
- Information you voluntarily supply us in exchange for information, products, or services;

We may collect information about you in written, oral or electronic form. The types of information about you that we may collect include your name, address, phone and facsimile numbers, email address, and other information we may need to process your registration.
Some of our services may require you to register or open an account.

We will use that information to provide you with the information and services we offer.
How We Use Collected Information
We collect and use information for business, management and administration purposes, such as evaluating and processing inquiries about our services, processing subscription payments, indexing information, determining particular user preferences, and other communications and exchanges that you request.
Other than as set forth in this privacy policy, we do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you to nonaffiliated third parties, except as permitted by law which may include responding to a subpoena or other legal process, or reporting to consumer reporting agencies. We will also release information about you if you direct us to do so.
We may disclose the above described information to service providers to help us process your request. These service providers may include our retail or business partners. We may also disclose this information to our partner companies or companies that perform marketing services on our behalf as well as our financial, tax and legal advisors. The information we disclose to our service providers is limited to the information needed to carry out their function, to provide you with information about their services or products which we feel may be of interest to you, or to otherwise provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services.
We may also share aggregated information with others. Aggregated information may include, for example, the number of users who searched for “Birthday Gifts” or how many users clicked on a specific advertisement.

In general, you can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers may seek (as many websites do) to place a "cookie" (a small data file) on your computer's hard drive that allows the server to determine the computer when it visits again, in order to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout certain areas of our website. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes, such as to improve website navigation. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your web browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed.
We may also gather data about visits to our website, including domain name, length of time on our website and other data to assist us in evaluating the usefulness of our website and to allow us to provide more efficient service in the future.
In addition, some areas of our website may request personal information from you, such as information necessary to process your inquiry or to provide you with certain information you request. Additionally, to gain access to the services we offer our users, it will be necessary for you to provide us with personal information, including your name, address, and other necessary information.
The sites displayed as search results or linked to by our services are developed and maintained by third parties over whom we have no control. These other sites may place their own cookies on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information.
Our website is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.

Security
In an effort to protect your personal information we have implemented a number of safeguards. We operate secure data networks protected by industry-standard firewall and password protection systems. Access to information is restricted to authorized persons. Additionally, when your personal information is collected through our website, it is encrypted using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") technology. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. We periodically review our security policies and update them as necessary.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
Periodically, we may revise our privacy policy, and will post the revised policy on our website so you are always aware of our privacy policy and our practices regarding the collection and use of information. Use of personal information that we gather now is subject to our privacy policy in effect at the time of use. If, however, we decide to use users’ personal identifiable information in a way that is different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their personally identifiable information in this different way. However, if users have opted out of all communication with our website, or deleted or deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted and their personally identifiable information will not be used in this new way.
