The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google's privacy policy is available here.

You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. We will not ask you for your password or credit card number.
(7) Your use of Other Users' Information
You may not use other user’s information for commercial purposes, to spam, to harass, or to make unlawful threats. We reserve the right to terminate those user accounts who misuse other user’s information or who otherwise violate our Terms of Use.
(8) Control of Your Password
You may not disclose your password to any third parties or share it with any third parties. If, despite the foregoing, you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.
