What Personally Identifiable Information is collected?

We may collect basic profile information, such as name, email address, and website URL if you choose to comment on an article. This information is not sold, leased, or given to any third party and is not used by us for any purpose other than to validate a visitor’s login attempt.

In addition to our direct collection of information, our third party service vendors, namely Google® (www.google.com/privacy) will collect your name and email address, if you choose to opt-in to our site’s email delivery service. FeedBurner (www.feedburner.com), who is owned by Google, manages the email delivery service.

Visitors who opt-in to the email delivery service may choose to stop receiving emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of each email.

What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?

We will let our Visitors know about changes to our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site. However, if we are changing our privacy policy in a manner that might cause disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information that a Visitor has previously requested not be disclosed, we will contact such Visitor to allow such Visitor to prevent such disclosure.
