Cookies
We use "cookies" (small files placed on your hard drive) on certain pages
of the Web site to help analyze our web page flow, customize our services,
measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. Cookies are
required for user login to the Web site.
Cookies are not used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to your computer, and can only be read by a Web server in the
domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web
server that you have returned to a specific page. It also identifies you for user login.
Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session.
You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your
browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively,
you may be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time
a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an
individual basis. However, if you decline a cookie from Accordare,
it may interfere with your use of the Web site and you will not be able to login to
see your user area.

Account Protection
Your
password is the key to your account. Use unique numbers, letters, and
special characters and do not disclose your Accordare password to anyone. If
you do share your password or your personal information with others,
remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of

Accessing and Changing Your Personal Information
You
can see, review and change all of your personal information by logging
into the Site. Generally, we will not manually modify your personal
information because it is very difficult to verify your identity
remotely. You should promptly update your personal information if it
changes or is inaccurate. Once you make a public posting, you may not
be able to change or remove it. Upon your request, we will close your
account and remove your personal information from view as soon as
reasonably possible, based on your account activity and in accordance
with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed
accounts in order to comply with law, troubleshoot problems, assist with any
investigations, enforce our User Agreement, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

Security
Your
information is stored on our servers located in the United States. We
treat data as an asset that must be protected and use commercially reasonable technical and
organizational measures to protect your
personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure.
However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept
or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may
abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the
Web site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy,
we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third
parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your
personal information for improper purposes.
