INTRODUCTION

As many of you know, websites and those who collect personal information are required to provide you with a Privacy Statement. A variety of local, state and national governments have placed this requirement upon us. Because it is often difficult to comply with the specifics of each and every governmental body, this notice is based on California Law. California law was chosen for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:

• Our offices are located just outside San Francisco;
• It provides you with the most protection, options and thus rights, with respect to your personal information.

With that in mind, we would like to thank you for visiting this page and reading the details of our Privacy Statement.  Upon reading this document, it should become obvious that protecting your privacy is one of our top goals, and with your assistance, we believe that this document helps us achieve that.

In an effort to comply with applicable laws, we believe that this document covers the collection and use of collected personal data while on our site. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise noted, all references to this website use the term “Site”.

Thank you very much. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
