Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how personal information is collected, used, and disclosed with respect to your use of this website and any other websites that display this Policy (the “Sites”), so you can make an informed decision about using the Sites.

We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time. We will notify you about material changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account or by placing a prominent notice on our Sites. Material changes will go into effect 30 days following such notification. Non-material changes or clarifications will take effect immediately. You should periodically check the Sites and this privacy page for updates.

What Is Personal Information?

As used herein, the term “personal information” means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, address, telephone number, mobile number, email address, or credit card number) and information about that individual or their activities that is directly linked to personally identifiable information.

Personal information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Sites or about a group or category of users, from which individual identities or other personal information have been removed. This Policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of aggregate information.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?

Active Collection:

Personal information may be collected in a number of ways when you visit our Sites. We collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you send us an email, sign up to receive email or text message updates, fill out a form, submit content, connect through a social feed, register for an event, or request information.

Such information may include your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, geographic location, and other information you choose to provide. Personal and demographic information may also be collected if you provide such information when posting comments or other content, sending an email or message, or participating in interactive forums or features on the Sites.

Passive Collection:

When you use the Sites, some information may be automatically collected, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, the address of a referring website, and your activity on our Sites. If you access the Sites from a mobile device, we may also collect information about your mobile device, device identifier, mobile browser, and information about the location of your device.

We treat this information as personal information if we combine or link it with identifying information. Otherwise, it may be used in aggregate form.

We may also automatically collect certain information using cookies or web beacons. Cookies are small data files stored on your device at the request of a website. Among other things, cookies help us improve our Sites and your experience. Information obtained from cookies and linked to personally identifying information is treated as personal information.

If you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services available through the Sites.

The use of cookies by our partners, affiliates, analytics providers, and service providers may not be covered by this Policy. We may not have access to or control over these cookies.

Web beacons are small, invisible graphic images that may be used on the Sites or in emails relating to the Sites to collect certain information and monitor user activity, such as counting visits, understanding usage effectiveness, and determining whether an email has been opened or acted upon.

Collection by Third Parties:

Third-party vendors may use cookies or other technologies to provide advertising, content, or analytics services on this or other websites based on visits to this Site and other sites on the Internet.

These third parties may automatically collect information about visits to this and other websites, including IP address, Internet service provider, browser type, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information.

Information collected may be used to provide advertising and content relevant to your interests and to better understand the usage of our Sites. This Policy does not apply to cookies or other technologies used by third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to learn more about their privacy practices.

How Do We Use the Personal Information We Collect?

We use personal information collected through our Sites for the purposes described in this Policy or elsewhere on the Sites. For example, we may use personal information:

• to provide services, products, or information you request and to process related requests or transactions;
• to send confirmations, receipts, updates, alerts, support, and administrative messages;
• to notify you about important changes to the Sites;
• to send newsletters and provide information about issues, events, resources, products, or
• services that may be of interest to you;
• to request feedback and contact you about your use of the Sites;

• to monitor and analyze Site usage and trends and personalize and improve the Sites and user experience;
• to provide advertising on this Site or other websites or media based on information you provide and actions you take; and
• for any other purpose for which the information was collected.

What Personal Information Do We Share with Third Parties?

It is our policy not to share personal information collected from you through our Sites with third parties except as described in this Policy or otherwise disclosed on the Sites.

For example, we may share personal information:

• with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who work with us and need access to such information to perform services on our behalf;
• when you give us consent to do so;
• when we believe in good faith that we are lawfully authorized or required to do so, or when disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, legal processes, or lawful requests;
• when we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of our users, employees, third parties, or the public;
• to enforce or apply this Policy or our other policies or agreements.

We are not responsible for the actions of service providers or other third parties, nor are we responsible for additional information you provide directly to third parties. We encourage you to become familiar with their privacy practices before providing personal information.

Nothing in this Policy restricts the sharing of aggregated or anonymized information, which may be shared with third parties without your consent.

Text Messaging Opt-In Data:

We will not share or sell your phone number or consent with third parties unless required by law or otherwise permitted under this Privacy Policy.

Links to Other Websites & “Do Not Track” Signals

Our Sites may contain links to other websites. Any personal information you provide on linked pages is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party’s privacy policy.

This Policy does not apply to linked sites, and we are not responsible for the content, privacy, or security practices of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy and security practices before providing them with personal information.

We currently do not participate in “Do Not Track” frameworks that would allow us to respond to browser signals or other mechanisms regarding the collection of personal information.

What Steps Do We Take to Protect Your Information Online?

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Please be aware, however, that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or other misuse.

If you maintain an account or password for the Sites, you are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity occurring through your account.

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to periodically check this page for changes so that you remain informed about what information the Sites collect and how such information is used.
