We collect personally identifiable information you submit such as name, email address, street address, telephone number, credit card number, and age, to authenticate users, process payments for services and to send notifications to those users relating to the Site.

If you do provide us with personally identifiable information for any of the activities of the Site, we may use it to conduct the activity. We may also use cookie technology and Web beacons (discussed in detail below) to improve your experience of these activities, including remembering your preferences, customizing the content or authenticating your access to your personal information.

We may also contact you to confirm registration information, if applicable, and about your account status, and regarding changes to this Site’s terms of use and this privacy statement. On occasion, we may send you updates, a newsletter or other news regarding the Site. For us to obtain your permission to send you this information, we will give you an opportunity to "opt-in" at the time our request for your personal information is made. If you do "opt-in," you may choose to "opt-out" at any time, even after you have provided personal information, by following the procedures set forth below. Please note, however, that under certain circumstances, if you initially do not choose to "opt-in," or if you later "opt-out," you may not be eligible for certain services from us for which a name, e-mail address, telephone number or other personally identifiable information is needed.

We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order.

Our systems may also automatically gather information about the areas you visit and search terms you utilize on this Site and about the links you may select from within this Site to other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online.

We use such information to administer the Site and, in the aggregate, to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on this Site. This way we know which areas of this Site are favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve this Site.

We realize that they may not understand all the provisions of our policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available to our adult users. We strongly urge all parents to participate in their children's exploration of the Internet and any online services, and to teach their children about protecting their personal information while online.

We prohibit registration by children under the age of 13 for all interactive portions of this Site. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
