What information do we collect from our users and how do we collect it?
First: this site does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when specifically and knowingly provided by such individuals, for instance, when submitting an e-mail, a comment, or registering to receive a mailing. This site does not rely on cookies to collect or save personal information for your future visits. However, cookies are used to numerically identify your computer and track your movement on the site.
We do collect anonymous, aggregated data for statistical purposes. We may use such information to help determine ways to improve our site and may share this unattributable information with our affiliates.
Is the information you collect about me secure?
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard Personal Information in our possession against loss, theft, unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification.
What about children using your site — is their privacy protected?
Yes. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), this site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. If it is learned that such information has been collected without parental consent, that information will be deleted from the site’s database as quickly as practical or the child’s parent(s) will be contacted to obtain consent for the collection of the information.
And we encourage parents to get involved with their children’s online usage and to be aware of activities in which they are participating. Parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. If you are interested in learning more about these protections, information is available at http://www.myparentalcontrol.com as well as a number of other Internet sites that provide information on this form of protection.
HOW WE USE AND SHARE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
