How is information collected from my mobile device?

When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access the site, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more "device identifiers." Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware; data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software; or data sent to the device by a social media site.

What information is collected automatically?

When you visit the site, we may use cookies to collect information about how you use the site. This allows us to personalize your experience, provide specialized content and support, record session information, recall visitor preferences, and simplify the completion of online forms. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can use settings on your browser to disable or turn them off. If you choose to reject the cookies, your site experience may be degraded.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers may include features that send a "do not track" signal to websites and other online services. Currently, there is no standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We do not take action in response to these signals.

Generally, we use the personally identifiable information we collect about you to provide services you specifically request to register for and participate in our events. Upon its collection, we may share such personally identifiable information with our affiliates.

Will you share my e-mail address with your affiliates?

When you register for services, you authorize us to share your information with the affiliate in your region. We will only provide the information needed to deliver the services for which you express interest. Our affiliates are, without limitation, regionally-based nonprofit organizations that are associated with us. Because our affiliates may keep and use your information whether or not you purchase their services, you should contact them directly for more information about their specific privacy policies.
