As stated above, we
collect information about you through your interactions with us. Our Websites
include community areas (e.g., messaging, forums, blogs and chat rooms) in
which you may participate after establishing a Membership Account. Although
your participation in these communities is governed by this privacy policy,
there are certain important characteristics of these communities that you
should always keep in mind.
We use Membership
Account registration information and other information users provide as they
interact within the communities to: authenticate users; provide communications
from us to users regarding the community; and administer the community
(including, but not limited to, managing the technical requirements of the site
and monitoring submissions and posts for offensive content after posting and
removing such content in our sole discretion).
Please note that
information (including your name, email address, address, or phone number) you
provide in a posting in a message, or on a blog or bulletin board is available
(even after you stop participating in the community) to any other individual
who has access to that same community and may be used by another individual in
a manner unintended by you, including as a target for unsolicited communications.
You should therefore treat any information provided by you in the content of a
submission or post to a community as public information. For this reason, we
urge you to act cautiously in providing any such information in your
submissions or posts, as we are not liable for any use or misuse by an
individual user of the information you provide in a submission or post.
Upon termination of a
community, Personal Information we collected through the community will
continue to be treated in accordance with this privacy policy.

your information. To help protect your privacy, we allow only limited access to
