We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information: 

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

You can review and change your personal information by sending us an email at or other communication to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.  If you delete your User Contributions or other information from the Website, copies of your User Contributions and other information may remain viewable in cached and archived pages. 

We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and organizational measures, internal controls, and data security routines intended to protect Customer and User information against accidental loss or change, unauthorized disclosure or access, or unlawful destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer and User acknowledge and agrees that hosting data online involves risks of unauthorized disclosure or exposure and that, in accessing and using our services, Customers and Users assume all such risks. We offer no representation, warranty, or guarantee that Customer and User information will not be exposed or disclosed through errors or the actions of third parties.  We will not be responsible for any distribution, publication, display, or other disclosure of Customer and User information.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
