privacy of our visitors while they interact with the content, products and services on this site (the

used, and how you can control our disclosure of it. You agree that your use of the Site signifies
your assent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use
the Site.
1) Information Collected
We collect two types of information from you: i) information that you voluntarily provide to us

· Cookies
Our site uses "cookies" and other tracking technologies. Cookies enable us to serve secure
pages to our users without asking them to sign in repeatedly. Most browsers allow you to
control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. If a user's
system is idle for a defined time, the cookie will expire, forcing the user to sign in again to
continue their session. This prevents unauthorized access to the user's information while
they are away from their computer.
You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to
block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your
cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to
certain parts of the Site.

send any other communication besides invitations and invitation reminders. Recipients of
