We may collect and store two types of information: "personal information" and "technical information." Personal information tells us who you are and may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, telephone number, date of birth or age, and any personal preferences you choose to provide. Technical information is information that we collect automatically whenever you interact with our Site such as your IP address, and the web browser you use. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. Each time you visit our Site, our web server may automatically recognize and collect this information. Technical information also includes "cookies" and "web beacons".
A "cookie" is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Among other things, cookies provide a means for us to keep track of your online patterns and preferences. By understanding which areas of our Site you visit, cookies allow us to present information and services that are of personal interest. A cookie will not allow us to learn any personal information (such as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can change your browser so that it will not automatically accept cookies. However, if you do so, it is possible that some portions of our sites may not function as intended.

Accordingly, we have put certain security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
