COOKIES
A "cookie" is a text file that this site sends to your browser in the form of a text file. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but they usually can be modified to decline cookies if you prefer; however, certain features of this site might not work without cookies.
SECURE SITE COOKIES
As an additional layer of protection (specifically to assist in preventing fishing attacks), each time you log in you will be presented with an account unique picture and label that you have provided.
To prevent anyone from knowing this unique picture and label, you will be asked to provide your security answer. If you choose, you may “Remember this PC” by electing to accept an anti-fishing cookie. This cookie will flag your browser as an acceptable client to by-bass. The name and value of the cookie will represent a known data value on our servers to validate your system.
No Personal Information is stored in these cookies as the name and value are provided from our servers. If you choose to not accept these cookies, you will be asked to provide your security answer on every login.
These secure cookies are set to expire 50 years from creation.
SESSION COOKIES
To run our sites, we use “session cookies”. These ASP.NET cookies are used to remember selections and preferences that you’ve already made or information that you’ve already given. This cookie is one required aspect of our session security.
These session cookies will expire when you quit your browser.
WEB BEACONS
Web Beacons, sometimes called single-pixel gifs or clear gifs, are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.
ANALYTICS
We do not participate with third party analytics partners like Google Analytics to monitor and analyze Web traffic.
DO NOT TRACK REQUESTS
Some Web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Each browser communicates "Do Not Track" signals to websites differently, making it unworkable to honor each and every request correctly. In order to alleviate any communication error between browsers and website, we do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals at this time. As the technology and communication between browser and website improves, we will reevaluate the ability to honor "Do Not Track" signals and may make changes to our policy.
DATA SECURITY
We will implement reasonable and appropriate security procedures consistent with prevailing industry standards to protect data from unauthorized access by physical and electronic intrusion. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or method of data storage can be guaranteed 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information by following generally accepted industry standards, we cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to us or archive at this site.
When you transmit Personal Information through our registration process or if you purchase products or services, we encrypt that information in transit using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
After the secure transfer of your Personal Information, the information is maintained and stored with 128-bit encryption.
UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
Upon request, we will permit you to request or make changes or updates to your Personal Information for legitimate purposes. We request identification prior to approving such requests. We reserve the right to decline any requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require unreasonable time or effort of our technical or administrative personnel, or undermine the privacy rights of others. We reserve the right to permit you to access your Personal Information in any account you establish with this site for purposes of making your own changes or updates, and in such case, instructions for making such changes or updates will be provided where necessary.
ONWARD TRANSFER OUTSIDE YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE
Any Personal Information which we may collect on this site will be stored and processed in our servers located only in the United States. By using this site, if you reside outside the United States, you consent to the transfer of Personal Information outside your country of residence to the United States.
CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
