Information About All Our Visitors
We collect certain information from and about our users in three ways - directly from the user, from our Web server logs, and with cookies.
User-Supplied Information: When you register on our website, respond to a survey, complete a form or post your company profile on our directory, we may ask for various information such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number and other personal information, as well as certain payment information. You may, however, visit our website anonymously.
Server Log Information: When you visit an Internet website, you disclose certain information about yourself, such as your Internet [Protocol] (IP) address, the time of your visit, and the referring location (e.g., the website page that offered a link to our website page). Like many other websites, we record this basic information about visits to this website.
Cookies: In order to offer and provide customized, personal service, we may use cookies to store and help track your information. These cookies are relatively standard and do not collect personally identifiable information. Nor do we combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us who you are or even what your username or e-mail address is. If for any reason you wish not to take advantage of cookies, you may have your browser not accept them, although this may disable or render unusable some of the features of our website.
You should remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose information online, such as on message boards, through e-mail, discussion groups, or in chat areas, your information can be collected and used by others. Although we try to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. You are solely responsibility of maintaining the secrecy of any passwords you set up and/or any account information.
THIS WEBSITE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY MINORS. ACCORDINGLY, WE DO NOT REQUEST ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM MINORS, AND MINORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE PURCHASES OR PARTICIPATE IN CONTESTS ON THIS WEBSITE. MINORS SHOULD NOT POST ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIS WEBSITE.

How We Protect Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our website policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
WHILE WE STRIVE TO SELECT THIRD PARTY PARTNERS WHO HAVE OR SHARE THE SAME STANDARDS IN REGARDS TO PRIVACY POLICIES COMPARABLE TO ITS OWN THE USER AGREES THAT WITH RESPECT TO THOSE THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WEBSITES WE LINK TO, WE DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE SAME, NOR WILL WE BE RESPONSIBLE TO THE USER OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR OTHER MATERIAL THAT MAY BE SOLD, LICENSED, DISTRIBUTED OR PROMOTED BY SUCH THIRD PARTIES OR ON SUCH WEBSITES, OR FOR ANY CONTENT ON SUCH WEBSITES.
