Events, Surveys and Contests

We also collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us. Throughout our site there are opportunities to register for an event or conference, order a research paper, or participate in an online survey or contest. All of these opportunities are voluntary and, therefore, you have the option to participate and submit the information or not. When we collect this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for the information and how it will be used.

When you access our site, your Internet address is automatically collected and is placed in our Internet access logs in order to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement and gather aggregate information. “Aggregate information” is information that describes the habits, usage patterns and/or demographics of users as a group but does not describe or reveal the identity of any particular user. Your Internet address is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Sharing Information

We will not sell individual information and will only share it with our advisors who will not use it for any secondary purposes. “Individual information” is information about a user that is presented in a form distinguishable from information relating to other users but not in a form that personally identifies any user or enables the recipient to communicate directly with any user. We may share aggregate information and survey information but this information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. However, you should be careful when including any personal information in any submission or as a part of any chat room discussion. This information may be readily available to other users and we cannot control their use of that information.

We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill you for products and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We may partner with another party to provide specific services. If you request these services, we will share your name or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide the services. These third parties are not permitted to use the personally identifiable information except for the purposes of providing the requested services.

We may disclose information about you or your company if we have a good faith belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to claims, or to protect our rights, property or safety or those of others.
