How we protect your personal information
We take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and
procedural measures) to help safeguard your personal information from
unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, only authorized employees are
permitted to access personal information, and they may do so only for permitted
business functions. We use firewalls to help prevent unauthorized persons from
gaining access to your personal information.
We want you to feel confident using our website to transact business. However,
no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure
your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your
personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain
secure. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for
information about how to protect yourself against identity theft.
Blogs, bulletin boards, reviews and chat rooms
We may provide areas on our websites where you can post information about
yourself and others and communicate with others, as well as post reviews of
products, establishments, contractors, and the like, or upload content (e.g.
pictures, videos, audio files, etc.). Such postings are governed by our Terms
& Conditions. In addition, such postings may appear on other websites or
when searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Also, whenever you
voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web pages, that
information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others.
For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited
messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with
the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise
discretion and caution with respect to your personal information. Once you have
posted information, you may not be able to edit or delete such information.

A session cookie expires when you close your browser and is used to make it

security purposes, we will encrypt any usernames, passwords, and other user or
member account-related data that we store in such cookies. In the case of sites
and services that do not use a user or member ID, the cookie will contain a
unique identifier. We may allow our authorized service providers to serve
cookies from our website to allow them to assist us in various activities, such
as doing analysis and research on the effectiveness of our site, content and

subsequent visits to the advertised websites. They also may combine this
information with personal information they collect from you. The collection and
use of that information is subject to the third-party's privacy policy. This
information allows them to deliver targeted advertisements and gauge their

Web Beacons:
Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or web bugs) are tiny
graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used
to track the online movements of web users or to access cookies. Unlike cookies
which are stored on the user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded
invisibly on the web pages (or in email) and are about the size of the period
at the end of this sentence.
Web beacons may be used to deliver or communicate with cookies, to count users
who have visited certain pages and to understand usage patterns. We also may
receive an anonymous identification number if you come to our site from an
online advertisement displayed on a third-party website.
