Privacy Policy

If you have questions, please contact us via our contact form or email us directly at [email protected].

We collect, store and use your personal information to allow you to use our Site, to communicate with us, and for the other purposes described in more detail below or as we may specify at the time of collection.

We collect and use information about you in several ways. We may receive information directly from you when you send us email, complete a form on our Site (such as a survey or a request for a meeting), sign up to receive email from us, or call us with questions. We do not store it longer than necessary.

There are two types of information we collect — anonymous and personal. Anonymous information is information that cannot be used to identify you individually. We collect anonymous information automatically. Personal information is information that can be used to identify you individually, such as your name, address, email address, or phone number. Except for your IP address, we collect personal information only when you give it to us. You may be asked to provide personal information anytime you are in contact with us. You are not required to provide any personal information that we request, but if you choose not to do so, in many cases we will not be able to provide you with those related services or respond to any questions you might have.

A. Information You Provide Directly

We obtain information that identifies you personally directly from you. We ask for your contact information (name, street address, email address, and phone numbers) when you request a guide, sign up for electronic newsletters, answer a survey, enter a sweepstakes or other game or contest, participate in other promotional activities, or share your photos with us. We may also ask for information that helps us understand more about your interest in our services, such as demographic information like household information and age group.

We use the information that you voluntarily provide to reply to your requests, to update and improve the content on our Site or in our electronic newsletters, and to assist with marketing research.

B. Information We Collect Electronically

Our Site servers automatically record your visits to our Site. Like all other website servers, ours compiles a log that records the date, time, browser, device type, operating system, and originating IP address of each Site page request.

We use cookies that identify your browser or device. They collect and store information when you visit our Site about how you use the Site, and facilitate interest-based advertising. We have a legitimate interest in collecting this information to monitor usage of our Site, identify issues with our Site, and improve our services.

From your IP address, we can tell generally where you are when you are accessing our Site (e.g., which city).

C. With Whom Do We Share Information We Collect?

Personal Information. We do not share your personal information outside of our organization. This is subject to change and will be noted in this policy. We may disclose your personal information as required by law, in conjunction with a government inquiry, or in litigation or dispute resolution.

Anonymous Information. We may disclose statistical information to third parties in aggregate form without revealing any personal details about our users.

Our Site operates in the U.S. If you are located outside of the U.S., please be aware that all information you provide us will be transferred to and stored and processed in the U.S. Please also be aware that by using our Site and giving us your information, you consent to such U.S. transfer, storage and processing. You also understand that the U.S. privacy laws may be different from the laws of your country.

We store our information on trusted third-party cloud servers of US-based companies.

California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information for direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those parties.
