1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information volunteered by the user. Personal information means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, address, telephone number, mobile number, email address, or credit card number) and information about that individual or their activities that is directly linked to personally identifiable information. Personal information does not include "aggregate" information, which is data we collect about the use of the website or about a group or category of services or users, from which individual identities or other personal information has been removed. This Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate information.
We collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you register for an event, make a donation, make a purchase, send us an email, or sign up to receive email updates. Such information may include personal information, such as your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and credit card information. Personal and demographic information may also be collected if you provide such information in connection with creating a profile or group, leaving comments, posting blog comments or other content, sending an email or message to another user, or participating in any interactive forums or features on the website.
