A Special Note About Children

This Site is not intended for children, particularly children under 13.  Children may use this Site only with the direct supervision of their parent.

What User Information Do We Collect? Why?

Real World Contact Information.  When you use our Site, we may request your name, street address, telephone number, or other "real world" contact information.  This information may reveal or be associated with your personal identity.  You may choose not to provide this information or opt out of certain uses at the point of collection (see specific collection screens for details or exceptions).  We use this information to:

• Complete and support the online activity for which you supplied the information.

Online Contact Information.  In addition to "real world" contact information, we may also request your email address or other online contact information.  Although you may choose an email address that identifies you, this information does not inherently reveal and will not be associated by us with your personal identity.  You may choose not to provide this information or opt-out of certain uses at the point of collection (see specific collection screens for details or exceptions).  We use this information to:

• Complete and support the online activity for which you supplied the information.

To Whom Do We Disclose User Information?

• Information that would allow you to be contacted in the real world, such as your name, telephone number, or street address, may be disclosed only to our staff and to our immediate agents.
• Information that would allow you to be contacted online, such as your email address, may be disclosed only to our staff and to our immediate agents.

Certain Exceptional Disclosures

We may disclose user information in exceptional situations.  For example, disclosure may occur if we consider it necessary to protect our legal rights or if the information relates to actual or threatened harmful conduct.  Disclosure may be required by law or if we receive legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order.

We Currently Don't Use Cookies

Cookies are small data files stored by your browser in your computer when you visit a web site.  Cookies are used to recognize users during visits and to improve web site performance.  Currently, we do not use cookies at our Site.  If we later decide to use cookies, we will revise this Policy accordingly.

How Do We Protect User Information?

We generally do not use secure pages to collect information, nor do we generally store data in encrypted form.  While we do implement other practices to help protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of information stored on our system, our Site is not completely secure.  Please keep this in mind as you use our Site.

How Long Do We Retain User Data?

Generally, we retain user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it.  We may alter this practice according to legal and business requirements.  For example, we may shorten the retention period for certain data if needed to free up storage space.  We may lengthen the retention period for other data if needed to comply with privacy standards or applicable law.

Management of Contact-Related Information

• Generally, you may choose not to provide personal contact-related information or opt out of certain uses at the point of collection (see specific collection screens for details or exceptions).
• Generally, our system does not allow you to access personal contact-related information about you stored at our Site.
• You may modify or update personal contact-related information about you stored at our Site.
• You may have personal contact-related information about you removed from our Site and opt out of our using that information in the future.

Data-management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control.  Note: we have greater control over recently collected data than over archived data.  Once data is removed from the system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests.  In those cases, our general data-retention policy applies.

This Policy is governed by California law, excluding conflicts of law principles.  Any provision of this Policy that is illegal or unenforceable shall be deemed automatically conformed to the minimum requirements of law.  Any legal actions against us must be commenced in California within one year after the claim arose, or be barred.
