This privacy policy will advise you about how we protect your personal information, and about what choices you have concerning our use of such information. By using our Sites, you consent to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, now and as amended by us.

 

2. Personal Identification Information We may request personal identification information from you in connection with your use of, or participation in, scheduling appointments, communications, class registration, discussion groups, requests for information or suggestions, and in connection with other activities, services, or resources we make available on any of our sites. In all of these cases, we will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual user (such as, for example, your full name, street address, telephone number, or email address) to any third party without having received your permission. We do not sell or otherwise share your data with third parties. Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process. We may share with others aggregated demographic information.

 

3. To Whom We Disclose Your Information We may disclose the information we collect from or about you:

  • To service providers who work on our behalf;
  • When required to protect our rights or your safety or the safety of others, or to detect, prevent, or respond to misuse of our Sites.

In addition, we may share de-identified information, such as reports on user demographics and traffic patterns, with third parties, including researchers.

 

4. Chat Rooms, Message Boards, And Public Forums Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas – that information can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

 

5.

6. Miscellaneous The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy set forth in the Sites is governed and interpreted under the laws of the United States of America and the State of Kansas, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provisions. If any portion is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable, and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. We can, at our sole discretion, replace or amend such provisions with another provision. This sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to the Sites and any materials, communications, transmissions, or postings to the Sites.
