Security
To view this site securely, you will need to use a browser such
as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator that supports SSL (Secure
Socket Layer) security protocol. These browsers will let you know
whether or not the site is secure. There's a symbol, such as a key
or lock, to show that you are in secure mode; if not, a warning
will appear when you are about to send us sensitive information.
While we use a secure mode whenever we request personal information,
we regret that we cannot guarantee that information transmitted

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
There are instances where The Beanstalk Group requests personally
identifiable information to provide site visitors with a service.
This information, such as name and email addresses, is collected
and stored in a manner appropriate to the nature of the request,
as determined by The Beanstalk Group, to fulfill your needs. All
information you provide is used to improve the services offered

may provide links to third party sites not controlled by The Beanstalk
Group. It is recommended that you check the specific privacy statements
of any site before providing any personally identifiable information.
What Are Cookies?
A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored within
your browser or on your hard drive when you visit a cookie-enabled
site. As you browse the Web, cookie-enabled sites will send cookies
to your browser or your hard drive, along with pages. Your browser
probably has options that will let you control whether the browser
accepts cookies, rejects cookies, or notifies you each time a cookie
is sent to you. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies.
If you prefer, you may change your browser settings to refuse cookies.
However, in so doing, you may not be able to fully utilize this
site or may experience difficulties accessing parts of this site.
If you set your browser to reject cookies, cookie-enabled sites
will not recognize you when you return. This provides you with anonymity,
but it also makes it very difficult to offer you customized services.
If you set your browser to accept cookies, any cookies that are
sent to your browser are stored in your computer for a period of
time. There are a few different types of cookies. A "session"
cookie is stored only in your computer's working memory (RAM) and
only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all of your
browser's windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session
cookie disappears forever. A "permanent" cookie is stored
on your computer's hard drive until a specified date, which could
be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Permanent cookies
stay on your computer until either:
a) they expire
b) they are overwritten with newer cookies
c) you manually remove them
The Beanstalk Group never uses cookies to retrieve information from
your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. The Beanstalk
Group does not use information transferred through cookies for any
promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared
with any third parties whatsoever.
