Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We will collect and use both your personal and non-personal information as you participate in the activities and services we provide. This section describes how we may collect this information and how it may be used.

  1. As used in this Privacy Policy, "personal information" means information that specifically identifies you as an individual, such as addresses and phone numbers. "Non-personal information" means information that does not directly identify you, such as IP addresses and web browser information.
  2. Participation requires you to complete our registration form, which requires you to provide certain specific personal information.
  3. When registering, you agree that you will not provide false or misleading information about yourself except that you may use a screen name for the purpose of privacy. We may take steps to verify that information you provide is accurate, complete and current, but we are not responsible for doing so.
  4. Failure to provide certain personal information or providing false personal information may result in temporary account suspension until you work with us to correct and verify your information. If you refuse to correct the information, your account will be permanently suspended.
  5. Registering for an account requires you to agree that we may contact you at any time via methods available using any of the information you provide. Maintaining an account requires that you continue to agree to such contact. We may provide information on the nature of such contact before it occurs or we may choose to contact you without prior notice.
