We do not independently gather or use any individually identifiable information
about our users from our web site.
Mailing Lists
We allow visitors the opportunity to enter and send us contact information
to be included on our email or postal mailing lists to receive information
about events we produce. These may include email messages and mailings
sent via the United States Postal Services. The address lists are securely
maintained and the information is never provided to any outside entity.
Information Gathered Routinely
Software running on our hosting service records certain information about
visitors, including the IP address of their computers at the time of their
visits, the type of browsers and operating systems they are using, entry
and exit pages, and dates and times of their visits. We only review this
information to determine the general geographic origin of our visitors
and do not connect it to individual visitors.
Additionally, our site is audited by Quantcast, which gathers certain information
about visitors to the site to generate data reports about site traffic.

Information Gathered When You Make an Inquiry
If you write to us via email with an inquiry, we will have a record of
the email address you sent the inquiry from and any information about yourself
that you may include. We will use this information to communicate with
you in regard to your inquiry, but unless you specifically ask us to use
it in some other way, such as being included on our email list, we will
only maintain that information in received and sent email folders.
