User submitted information. We collect user submitted personal information (such as your name, age, gender, picture, email address, telephone number, mailing address, hobbies, affinity groups, etc.) via internet browser based forms or by a user sending us an e-mail. We also intend to collect user submitted information (both electronically and physically) at live events, exhibitions and other similar events. We use your information to allow you to create an online profile, in order to assist users in locating your personalize page on our web site and to provide ads relevant to our users on our web site. We generally retain all communications with us in order to process your request, respond to such communications or improve the quality of our customer experience. [We may require you to submit a credit card for certain services, such as payment for the purchase of a product from our online store or as a method of verifying your age. We take reasonable steps to encrypt your credit card information as it is processed and stored on our servers.] We do not consider information you post in any forum, online journal, or any other publicly available portion of our web site to be user submitted personal information. You should not post information you intend to be private on any such publicly available portion of our web site.

Our computer systems are located in the United States of America, but the computer systems of our service providers may be located in another country. Your submission of personal information constitutes your consent to the transfer and storage of your information across international borders.]
Do we accept personal information from children?
We do not knowingly accept information from children under the age of 14.

If we become aware a person under the age of 14 has provided us personal information without consent, we will discontinue the use of such information and remove it from our active systems. If we become aware a person under the age of 18 has registered with our web site without proper consent, we will discontinue the use of such person’s information and remove from our active systems.
