The following summarizes how we will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our website. The information we learn depends upon what you do when visiting our site. Our Home Page and the Terms of Use linked thereon provide that by accessing, retrieving files from or sending files, form submissions or E-mail to and using our site you agree to be bound by those Terms of Use as a legal agreement.

We outsource virtually all our operations, support and functions to various third parties. Although we seek to disclose the policies and contractual and legal obligations of these providers, we disclaim any and all liability for failure to accurately disclose practices of those third parties (or of their
employees or contractors) which may vary from the policies and procedures described herein. Under our Terms of Use, you waive any liability on the part of the owner of this website for actions or omissions of third parties providing software, hardware or other support or services to us. Nonetheless, if you become aware of actions of such parties which you believe are not consistent with the Privacy Policy set forth herein, please notify us and we will endeavor to correct the situation.

    Via software provided by our web host provider and via Google Analytics we collect certain information automatically when you visit any of our site web pages. This includes the placement of "cookies" upon your computer so that we may track your visits to and activity upon our site based upon your originating IP address. Generally, your originating IP address does not disclose your personal identity, but merely identifies you as a user from your internet service provider or, for visitors accessing thru a business account, the internet domain of your business. Although we do not seek to solicit or otherwise obtain further identifying information, it is possible that this information, coupled with access to the IP address logs of your internet service provider could permit the future individual identification of you as a user. Other information will only be collected if you voluntarily submit that information by entry or registration and submittal or by accepting a "cookie" designed to gather and track certain information. Information collected may be aggregated and used for our purposes, however, unless expressly otherwise noted on part of our site at this time it is our policy that individual user information is not resold or otherwise made available to any unaffiliated third parties (other than consultants working for us on the development of this site) for commercial or other purposes without your express consent and acknowledgment of that possible use. We will, however, make information, available to law enforcement personal or whenever required by order or subpoena issued by a court or other regulatory or governmental body. Although we (1) disclaim any obligation to contest the validity of any such request order or subpoena, and (2) assume no liability for failure or inability to do so or to notify you, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you by E-mail (assuming we have your E-mail address), and if you wish to contest such request order or subpoena on bona fide grounds through valid use of judicial process through legal counsel acceptable to us, we will generally cooperate in such efforts.

If you visit our site to read or download information, we utilize software programs provided by our web server hosting services provider to collect and store the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account, or gmu.edu if you are connecting from George Mason University's domain); the date and time you access our site; pages within our site which you access, and, if applicable, the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site. In addition, for repeat users of certain features on our site, the program offers you the option of having a "cookie" placed upon your own computer so that our computers will recognize you on repeat visits without need for re-entry of a password. If you share your computer with others, you may wish to consider whether or not you desire to use this feature as it could permit those other users to make posting under your name.  We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, to gauge the level of interest among visitors in various topics, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors.

You may personally identify yourself by registering, sending an E-mail or by registering for and participating in one of our features. You may provide other personal information by completing an online form and submitting that form to us.  We permit registration from any valid email address, and you may chose to use an anonymous email address or hide your name. Users are cautioned to be careful not to pose queries or responses which could disclose confidential information about and company or business, particularly insider information regarding publicly traded concerns.

To the extent you provide identifying information by posting to or participating in our forum bulletin boards, visible information posted by you will be generally available to other visitors to our site. As a registered user, you are given certain options about information that you chose to make publicly
available. Our site Terms of Use provide that by using our site you (and others) agree not to exploit or utilize information or E-mail addresses posted by others for commercial use. If you become aware of a violation of this term by any third party, please advise us.

Unfortunately, some users may not honor this policy, and it is possible that providing an E-mail address may result in "spammers" obtaining and using your E-mail address.

Our policies and terms of use are subject to change from time to time and you should check this page periodically for revisions.
