Information That We May Collect

We protect the information that you provide and that we collect when you register for a workshop, respond to a survey, purchase a publication, or participate in a forum. This information may include your name, address, email address, phone number, user name, password, birthdate, and credit card information. We may also collect other information using tracking software and cookies, as described below. We use this information for internal business purposes only, such as maintaining and improving our Web site, developing publications and services that correspond with your interests, processing purchases made by you, ensuring we have your current contact information and for certain analytic and website functionality and performance purposes, as described in more detail below. We maintain appropriate security measures to keep this information private

Tracking Software

The tracking software on our Web server collects only the domain name of visitors’ computers, not their e-mail address. Domain name information is used only in aggregate and for internal purpose.

Cookies

We may use cookies to store pertinent user information during a session. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored in a designated file on your computer. We use cookies only to hold information during online sessions (for example, to hold answers to online surveys for short-term storage or to create a temporary ID for use in a multiple-session assessment).

If you are using our Services via a browser you can restrict, block or remove cookies through your web browser settings. The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers also tells you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to delete old cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether.

Cookies only track individual IP addresses, not individuals themselves. Data we have on our users is based on account data and order history. You can also visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ for more information on how to manage and remove cookies across a number of different internet browsers.

How long do cookies remain on my computer or devices?

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. See the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.
