How We Use Collected Data

 

We use information voluntarily submitted by members and other customers in the following ways:

Member Services and Products. Generally, we use data collected to improve our own Web content; to respond to visitors’ interests, needs and preferences; and to develop new products and services.

Credit/Debit Card Account Information. We do not disclose credit card account information provided by its members and customers. When members and customers choose to pay using their credit cards, we submit the information needed to obtain payment to the appropriate clearinghouse.

 

How Long We Retain Your Data

 

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

How Do We Use Cookies?

 

Cookies are files that contain information created by a web server that can be stored on a User’s hard disk for use either during a particular session (“per-session” cookie) or for future use (“persistent” cookie). We may use cookies only to facilitate automated activity, store and track passwords, determine appropriate solicitations, and review navigation patterns. Cookies are not used to intentionally disseminate significant information about Users over the Internet or to intentionally analyze any information that Users have knowingly or unknowingly provided. When a user registers, the system will ask whether the user approves of the attachment of a cookie. Users may instruct their Internet browsers to opt out of accepting a “persistent” cookie and rather accept only a “per-session” cookie, but will need to log in each time they visit the site to enjoy the full benefits. It is possible that if the user declines the attachment of any cookie, the user may not have access to the full benefits of the website.
