The purpose of this site is to provide you with information about the Company, and the Company’s (“our”) products and services. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand the conditions in which we collect different types of information and disclose information, as well as your rights in relation to that information, and, finally, our policy regarding browser “Do Not Track” requests.

What Types of Information Does the Company Collect?
At various times, the Company may collect “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information.” “Non-Personal Information” is information that cannot directly be connected to a specific person without being compiled with additional information. For example, “Visitor from Wheeling, West Virginia” or “254 visitors from Wheeling, West Virginia on January 24,” in and of itself would be Non-Personal Information. On the other hand, “Personal Information” can be directly associated with a specific person, without any additional information, such as a first and last name, an e-mail address, mailing address, or a telephone number. For example, “John Doe of 123 Any Street, Wheeling, West Virginia,” would constitute Personal Information. If you have questions about the distinction between Non-Personal Information and Personal Information, please contact us.
What Is the Scope of the Policy?
The policy governs the treatment of Non-Personal Information and Personal Information obtained by us. It is intended to be broad and informative in nature.
How Does the Website Respond to Do-Not-Track Signals?
Major commercial web browsers allow users an option to send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites, requesting such sites not use online tracking mechanisms for the user. If you opt through your web browser to send a “Do Not Track” signal, and our website receives the signal, our website is designed to honor the “Do Not Track” request regarding web data. The website uses a third-party “Do Not Track” plugin on the WordPress platform. While no third-party plugin is foolproof, we use the selected plugin through the WordPress platform because of its trusted reputation in the industry. While we exercised our best efforts in selecting this plugin, we make no warranty regarding the effectiveness of this plugin or any other third-party security plugin. If you have any further questions about our policy regarding “Do Not Track” signals, please contact us.
