Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At our Company, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. The information you provide is safeguarded. 

This Privacy Policy discloses what information we gather and how we use it. It applies to information we collect on this Website, including through electronic messages between you and the Website (for example, when you submit a message using our “Contact” form or text with someone through chat). It does not apply to information collected by us offline or through other means, or to information collected by third parties, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from this Website. 

By accessing or using this Website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. Please review it carefully.

Information Our Company gathers and tracks

We gather two types of information about users:

• Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. This information may include personal information, such as your name, phone number, email address, state and zip code. We collect this information to respond to requests from users, customize our features for individual visitors who are the Company’s customers and to notify customers about updates to our site and products or services.
• Information that we collect automatically as you navigate the Website. This information may include usage details, IP addresses and information collected through tracking technologies such as cookies and web beacons. Information the Company gathers through aggregated tracking is used to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. We collect this information in order to determine how to create the best experience for our clients. For example, we may track search terms entered in our Website’s Search bar as one of many measures of what interests our users, but this tracking is not associated with an individual user.

The information we collect automatically may not include personal information, but we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including enabling us to:

• Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.

• Speed up your searches.
• Recognize you when you return to our Website.
