Log Files
Our web server collects and saves the standard default information customarily logged by World Wide Web server software. Our logs contain the following information for each request: date, time, originating IP address and domain name; object requested; and completion status of the request. We use these logs to help improve Our service by evaluating the level of demand for our site and detecting any errors on the site that might occur. We may refer to these logs at any time to protect the integrity of the data on our servers and to prevent security breaches.

We continue to review our policies and procedures to assure that they are appropriate and effective in meeting our commitments to our community, our customers, and ourselves.
We maintain strict internal policies against unauthorized disclosure or use of customer information. Procedures and control mechanisms are implemented. For our E-commerce applications, we typically use information from customers: We may use credit card or ACH information to get a credit approval for the use of credit cards and debit cards or automatic billing, and we may share this information with the credit card processing company. This information is only shared with our credit card processing company if requested by our customer.
