Where and Why We Collect Personal Information Online

Community Forum
When an individual registers for our community forum they are required to provide their name, email address, and password. This information allows us to deliver services to them in a secure manner and enables them to change their preferences associated with the forum. We also ask subscribers for additional information, which is not required to participate in the forum. The purpose of gathering this optional information is twofold: 1) with a greater understanding of our users we can develop services even better suited to the needs of our subscribers and 2) to generate a statistical profile of all subscribers that is shared with users of said forum. Note that Geniator Software Engineering will not sell or share your email address or individual information with any third party.
When a subscriber cancels his or her subscription, that individual's personal information (name and email address) will be deleted from our membership database. Any posts the user has elected to make, however, will still have the personal information they provided displayed. This is to ensure accountability for all content on our forum. If a user wishes to delete their posts, they may do so before canceling their subscription.
Donations and Charter Membership
When a visitor purchases a Charter Membership or makes a donation to Geniator Software Engineering, our third-party merchant service provider collects personal information in order to validate billing. Of this information, email address, name and shipping address are made available to Geniator Software Engineering. This information is used to verify buyers' identity and to resolve delinquent accounts.
