Information collection

Personal and non-personal information

This web site collects two types of data about visitors: personal information (e.g., name, email address, phone number) and non-personal information (e.g., page visits, visit length, browser type).

In general, you are free to visit this web site without revealing who you are or any other personal information. When we do collect personal information, we make it obvious what information we are collecting and why.

For example, you can anonymously read our blogs, but you must register if you wish to add a comment to any of them. During the registration process, we will collect personal information about you. If you submit a comment to us, we can save your comment in a database, display your comment to this web site's other visitors, and associate that comment with your registration “username.”

If you choose to register with us, your account will contain a uniquely identifiable “username,” a personal password that you will use to access your account, and a valid email address. At our discretion, we might collect other required or optional information about you. Please note that this information may be viewable to other members. Be careful when including any personal details. Within your account, you have the option to opt-in or opt-out of automatically generated emails.

We encrypt your password with a one-way hash so it is secure and cannot be decrypted (even by us). Still, we recommend you not reuse the same password across different web sites. Your password is the means by which you access your account on this web site, so please guard it carefully. Under no circustances will anyone affiliated with this web site legitimately ask you for your password. If you forget your password, you can use the “I forgot my password” service. This process asks you to submit your saved username and email address. It then generates a new password and sends it to that email address.

With your permission, we might collect information from you over the telephone, by mail, or in person. We might use it to improve our products and customer service.

It is your choice whether you provide personal information or not. However, withholding certain information could prevent us from providing goods or services to you.

Cookies and web beacons

When you browse this web site, we might create a number of cookies, which are small text files that your web browser downloads and temporarily stores on your computer. These cookie files are designed to improve your viewing experience and can contain various data, such as a user identifier (or “user-id”), an anonymous session identifier (or “session-id”), or a list of topics you have previously read.

Web tracking applications might record non-personal information such as Internet domain names, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, operating system types, and the date and time when you access our web pages.

These tracking technologies allow us to improve this site and your browsing experience. We also might analyze this information for trends and statistics.
