By visiting any page within this website you agree, without limitation or qualification, to terms set forth in this Privacy Policy. External sites linked to this site may have dissimilar privacy policies and are not governed by these terms. My goal is to provide visitors with the information most useful to them however I have an additional obligation to provide any customers with a marketing tool. To help me achieve these objectives I may collect data on both my users and customers.

An important distinction must be made between my users and customers. The term "customers" refers to those individuals who have any paid marketing, advertisements or enhanced content. "Users" include all other visitors to this site.  This site automatically collects IP addresses and aggregates information on what web pages my visitors use, the frequency and length of their visits, referral data (e.g. the internet address of the last web page visited by a user before proceeding to this site), and other general information that may be used to evaluate and improve my web site. I collect no personally identifiable information from anyone except paying customers, users who voluntarily register to use features or services I provide, and users who choose to initiate contact with me. Personally identifiable information is any information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, address, phone number, web address, etc.

If you choose to communicate with me over the internet, I may request that you provide personally identifiable information necessary for me to process your request for information, respond to your questions, or deliver a product or service. The information you send me via email or through one of my internet services requiring an ID and password may be shared with my employees who require this information to respond to your request and as permitted by law. I may retain this information as deemed necessary.

Personally identifiable information submitted to this site for the purposes of registration or listing editing may be stored temporarily in a "session" on my server until you elect to permanently save it in my secure database. The temporary information will be destroyed when you close your browser and, in many cases, earlier. this site also uses "cookies", which are small files stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive, for storing general information about you that would not be considered personally identifiable information such as preferences, IP addresses, and other data that may help improve my services to my users without compromising security. You may always choose not to accept cookies by reconfiguring your browser to refuse cookies automatically or prompt you before accepting them. Note that some of this site services may be unavailable to you if you refuse to accept cookies.

Information collected when you respond to surveys and promotions on my web site will be used in my continuous quality improvement process to improve my information and services. I may inform you of new products and services from this site or my affiliates based on the information you provide me. Information collected when you seek technical or billing support for this site is used only to the extent necessary to resolve your issue. All other information you submit or that which is automatically collected by this site is for internal use only, with the notable exception of that data provided by paying customers for display in my public listings.

For additional privacy and to help curb spam, contact email addresses of any registered customers may be hidden from my users.  As with any electronic means of communication, there exists a possibility that emails may be intercepted, forwarded, or altered without authorization or detection.  This site can not and does not guarantee the confidentiality of internet communications although there is no evidence to suggest that current security measures are insufficient.
