The Site only contacts people who have specifically requested it or in case they have subscribed to receive our messages, participated in one of our events, or purchased one of our products. The Site collects personally identifiable information from our users during online registration and online purchase. Generally, this information includes name and email address for registration or membership purposes, and name, mailing address, and credit card information when registering for our events or purchasing our products. All this information is provided by you.

We also collect and store automatically generated information as you browse online through the Site. For example, we may collect information about your computer’s Internet connection, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages and measure traffic on the Site. We may also use a standard feature in browser software called “cookies” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for storage purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us publish advertisements, identify how many unique users visit us, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences in some areas of the Site where you may have previously entered preference information. The Site may also use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages.

We use the information we collect from you while using the Site in various ways, including using the information to personalize features; advertisements appearing on the Site; and making other offers available via email, direct mail, or otherwise. We may also provide your information to third parties, such as service providers, contractors, and third-party publishers and advertisers for a variety of purposes. Unless you inform us in accordance with the process described below, we reserve the right to use and disclose to third parties all information collected from and about you while using the Site in any way and for any purpose, such as allowing us or third parties to provide you with information about products and services.

We cannot be responsible for any unauthorized use of such information by third parties.

Some of our advertisers and third-party ad servers that place and present ads on the Site may also collect information from users through cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies. These advertisers and third-party ad servers may use the information collected to present their advertisements, measure and research the effectiveness of advertisements, or for other purposes.

If you have any doubts about the use of cookies or web beacons by third parties or the use of your information, you should visit the website of that party and review its privacy policy.

The Site also includes links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control.
