Like many commercial websites, we analyze how visitors use our Site through
what is known as “cookie” technology. A cookie is a small text file that is
placed on your computer when you access the Site and allows us to recognize you
each time you visit the Site. We may use cookies to: (1) enhance or personalize
your Website usage; (2) monitor Website usage; (3) manage the Website; and (4)
improve the Website and our services. If you choose, you can set your browser
to reject cookies or you can manually delete individual or all of the cookies

have some trouble accessing and using some of the pages and features that are
currently on our Website, or that we may put on our Website in the future.
We may also use web beacons on the Website, in our emails and in our
advertisements on other websites. Web beacons are tiny graphic images that are
used to collect information about your Site visit, such as the pages you view
and the features you use, as well as information about whether you open and/or
act upon one of our emails or advertisements. We may also collect the URL of
the website you visited immediately before coming to the Website. Web beacons
help us analyze our Website visitors’ behavior and measure the effectiveness of
the Website and our advertising. We may work with service providers that help
us track, collect and analyze this information.
We may combine the non-personal information we collect, such as through cookies
and web beacons, with other information we have collected from you.

substantially all of its assets are acquired, your personal information may be
one of the transferred assets. We may also disclose your personal information

about Website users with third parties.
Additionally, we may share your personally identifiable information (excluding
your social security number, bank account information, or other financial
information) with third party marketers and other service providers (including
advertisers) with whom we have an ongoing business relationship.
Credit Implications of Providing Your Personal Information
Our participating third party lenders may verify, without limitation, your
social security number and driver’s license number, or any other qualifying
identification and review your information against national databases to
determine credit worthiness, standing and/or capacity. Please note that
multiple inquiries on the three national databases (Equifax, Transunion and
Experian) may result in a lowered credit score. By submitting your information
you agree to allow third party providers to verify your information and check
your credit as described in their policies and terms.
Security
We take reasonable and appropriate security precautions to secure the personal
information that you choose to provide against the loss, misuse, alteration, or
unauthorized access of such information. Unfortunately, no transmission of data
over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. While we strive to
protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or
confidentiality of any personal information you transmit to us.
Interest Based Advertising
We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising
Providers”) who serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated sites.
Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be
relevant to you based on information Advertising Providers collect about your
visits to this site and elsewhere over time. Our Advertising Providers use
cookies to personalize advertisements that you may see on other websites.
Because an industry-standard Do-Not-Track protocol has not yet been
established, we will not change your browsing experience based on any “Do Not
Track” signals that may be sent by certain browsers or selected by you.
However, you can visit www.cookiecentral.com and www.aboutads.info to
learn more about this type of advertising and how to opt-out of this form of
advertising by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance
(“DAA”) self-regulatory program. Note that electing to opt-out will not stop
advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads
you see less relevant to your interests. In addition, note that if you use a
different browser or erase cookies from your browser, you may need to renew
your opt-out choice. As each browser is different, please check the help
section of your browser for instructions on how to remove cookies and learn
about other privacy and security settings that may be available.

information from, children under the age of thirteen.
