What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Registration Information Live/On-Line

Our web site uses a secure conference registration form so that you can conveniently and safely register for a conference using a valid credit card for payment. Contact information (email address, telephone number, address, etc.) from the registration form is used to process and confirm your registration. When necessary, your contact information may also be used to get in touch with you to clarify registration information.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.  If you are a part of a group on-line course, paid for by a third party, course information and exam results maybe released to the third party for performance evaluations.
