How we store

We store the information you provide to us and the information we collect electronically
in our computer databases. Passwords and other sensitive data is encrypted and hashed.
The computer servers containing our databases are
owned and operated by our hosting provider, and are under tight security controls. Access
to these computer servers is controlled by firewalls and security gatekeepers.

the information we collect.
We use the personal information about you stored in our member database in various
ways. First, the next time you use our service and enter your User ID and Password,
we will call up your information from our database to make your visit faster
and easier.
We do not sell your
personal information, or any information that can be identified to you personally,
to any third-party marketers or other third parties. We do aggregate information
about how our service is used (without specific identification to any particular
user) to be able to improve our service and make it more responsive to our customers'

in said non-promotional email. Non-promotional email will include, but will
not be limited to surveys, maintenance notices and system updates.
Our policies
may change.
This is our current privacy and security policy, but we reserve the right to
change our website and this policy at any time. You should check this privacy
policy periodically. If our policies regarding collection, storage and use of
your information change, the information collected under prior policies will
continue to be governed by those policies, unless we obtain your consent to
use that information in new ways.

How is my

Your information is password-protected and our website is SSL enabled which encrypts
all information you supply. In order to maintain this protection,
we caution you not to provide your password to anyone. We do not have access to
your password, just an encrypted 'hash' that we can use to verify. We recommend that,
if you share your computer with other people,
you close your browser window when your session is completed. Signing off will
protect your information if you share a computer with someone else or are using
a computer in a public place like a library.
