Who we share your data with

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content – mainly videos from YouTube and Vimeo. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage. You can opt out of Google Analytics if you disable or refuse the cookie and disable JavaScript, or use the opt-out service provided by Google.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner described in Google’s Privacy Policy and for the purposes set out above.

Like and share buttons

We may also interface with social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others. If you choose to “like” or “share” information from this website through these services, you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a social media site, the interfaces may allow that social media site to connect your visits to this site with other Personal Information.

External site links

Our website contains links to 1000’s of other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites and do not monitor them in any way. When you go to another website from here, we advise you to be aware and read their privacy policy.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment or survey response, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments quickly and mitigate spam.

For users that create a user account on our website (mainly administrators), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

We use servers protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our visitors. Hosting is currently provided by Lodestone Systems using servers from InterServer.
