to better protect your sensitive information. This Policy is governed by our
Terms of Service.

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 recognize users and avoid repetitive
requests for the same information. 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.
Your consent to this policy
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.
Legal Disclaimer
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 Connecticut law, excluding conflicts
of law principles. Any legal actions against us must be commenced in Connecticut
within one year after the claim arose, or be barred.
