Introduction


We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily supply to us online while using the Site (e.g., while on the Site or in responding via email to a feature provided on the Site). The Site only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the event that they have signed up to receive our messaging, have registered for one of our events, or have purchased one of our products or services.

Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for registration or opt-in purposes and name, email address, and credit card information when purchasing our products or services. All of this information is provided to us by you.


We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Site. For example, we may collect information about behavior on the site such as whether you’ve accessed the dashboard, which allows us, among other things, to provide customer service to help troubleshoot log in issues.

These third-party advertisers and ad servers may use the information they collect to help present their advertisements, to help measure and research the advertisements’ effectiveness, or for other purposes. The use and collection of your information by these third-party advertisers and ad servers is governed by the relevant third-party’s privacy policy and is not covered by our Privacy Policy. Indeed, the privacy policies of these third-party advertisers and ad servers may be different from ours. If you have any concerns about a third party’s use of cookies or web beacons or use of your information, you should visit that party’s website 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.
