This site is owned and operated by Universal Data Solutions, Inc (UDS). Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At UDS, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION UNIVERSAL DATA SOLUTIONS GATHERS AND TRACKS
Universal Data Solutions gathers two types of information about users:

• Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive additional information about our products and services.

• Information UDS gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our company better understand the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does UDS divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

USAGE TRACKING
UDS tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. UDS does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. UDS uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.

USE OF INFORMATION
UDS uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in certain areas of our website. UDS never shares voluntary information with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
As stated above, UDS never shares information gathered on our site with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

SECURITY
UDS operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.

OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:

• Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters and mailings.
• Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users
