Cookies: Like many sites, this Site uses "cookies" to recognize Your computer on subsequent visits
to this Site. Cookies are small files created by Web sites that reside on the hard drive of Your

the cookie’s creation. You may not copy, modify or alter such cookies in any way, except as changed

Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) contains information about rejecting and explicitly managing
cookies on a computer.
How Information is Used; Access
Access: We have the right but not the obligation to access and review the information that We collect
from You that is described in the preceding section ("Information").
Site features and capability: We will use the Information to fulfill Your requests or provide the

Third-party Organizations: We will not sell or share Your Information with unaffiliated organizations
unrelated to Our business. We may work with unaffiliated businesses to provide services to You and shall

combination of those parts of Your Information that do not contain Your name or other personally
identifiable information with the information of other Site users, even if it is possible for some to
guess what individuals may have been involved or to combine the data with other information to learn
Your identity. An example without limitation of such information provided on an Aggregate Basis is the
most common zip code of the Site’s users.
Exceptions: We may disclose all or any portion of Your Information if We believe there are exceptional
reasons to do so as We determine in Our sole discretion, which include, but are not limited to, the
following situations: (1) to correct technical problems and malfunctions in how the Site operates or

same conditions in this Site Privacy Policy. We make no promise or warranty that any Information or
other information will be available to You at any time.
