Information Sharing

Our visitors should know that we – as a blanket policy – agree not to sell, trade, barter, or transfer any of the personally identifiable information we collect and gather here to any third party without your express consent.

At the same time, we want our visitors to know that many of the affiliates that we work with may be able to gain access to personally identifying information in an effort to help us better provide streamlined services and solutions as well as to improve the overall management of relationships with our customers.

Because we offer a variety of third-party products and services on our platform, each of the linked partners may have the opportunity and the authorization to access your personal data with your express consent.

Each of these affiliated websites and services will have separate and totally independent privacy policies as well, and we have absolutely zero liability for the content or the activities of those third-party affiliate websites and services.

Data Retention

If you have elected to leave a comment on our platform, the data that includes the comment as well as all associated metadata will be retained by our services indefinitely. This gives us an opportunity to better recognize and approve any and all follow-up comments and conversations with automatic tools, rather than having to pause all follow-up to go through independent human moderation.

Every user of every class will have a chance to see, edit, modify, delete, or otherwise alter any of the information that they have provided with one sole exception – the username that they have selected.

Our website administrators and backend management team will be able to view all of this information and also have full permissions to edit it as necessary.
