WHAT ARE COOKIES? WHY DO WE USE THEM? Cookies are small files stored by your
browser in your computer when you visit our Site. We use cookies to improve our
Site and make it easier to use. Cookies permit us to recognise users and avoid
repetitive requests for the same information. We also use cookies to help build
a personal profile of your online habits, interests and activities as you
navigate our site, which we use for general research, analysis and reporting. We
mostly use "session cookies" that are automatically deleted after each visit.
Cookies from our Site can't be read by other sites. Most browsers will accept
cookies until you change browser settings to refuse them.
HOW DO WE PROTECT INFORMATION WE COLLECT? We offer secure web pages to collect
certain kinds of user information and we store certain kinds of data in
encrypted form. We follow reasonable technical and management practices to help
protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our
system. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures
implemented by our Site reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level
appropriate to the type of data involved.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP USER INFORMATION? We generally keep user data on our server
or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this
practice according to changing requirements. For example, we may delete some
data if needed to free up storage space. We may keep other data for longer
periods if the law requires it. In addition, information posted in a public
forum could stay in the public domain indefinitely.
Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent
feasible and within our direct control. Note: we have greater control over
recently collected data than for archived data. Once data is removed from the
system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In
those cases, our general data retention policy applies.

By using our Site, you agree to this Policy. This is our entire and exclusive
Privacy Policy and it supersedes any earlier version. Our Terms of Service take
precedence over any conflicting Policy provision. We may change our Policy by
posting a new version on our Site.

This Site operates AS-IS and AS-AVAILABLE, without liability of any kind. We are
not responsible for events beyond our direct control. This Policy is governed by
