We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website:

What Information Is Collected
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. We use cookies in our discussion forum to notify you of new messages since your last visit, to save your password (at your option) so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our discussion board, to set your viewing preferences, and to provide access to authorized users in restricted forums and administrative areas. We do not use cookies to track your on-line activities and viewing habits.

Our discussion board registration form requires users to give us contact information in the form of a valid e-mail address. The participant's contact information is used to contact the visitor when necessary. You have the option of not allowing your e-mail address to be made publicly available at the time of registration on our discussion board.

Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

We do not sell or otherwise distribute e-mail addresses or any other information to third parties. Information will be made available to law enforcement agencies and other parties as required in the event of abuse, illegal activities, legal action, or requests for information from law enforcement.

The software that we use for the discussion board is supplied by a third party. It does have security features built in but it is not represented as high security software. There is always the possibility that someone may gain unauthorized access to the data files including your e-mail address and password. For that reason we suggest that you do not use the same password for our discussion board as you do for other services. We do use IP address logging and hack attempt logging to track potential offenders.
