Protecting the personal privacy of individuals who use the Internet is a priority of ours. If you have questions or concerns about this Internet privacy policy, or any other issues involving the Internet, please contact our webmaster and let us know your opinions.

Our basic Internet privacy policy is simple: Out & Equal collects no personal information unless you choose to provide it to us during your visit. If you do provide information, how we use it will be clearly stated, typically so that we can contact you about the issue you have raised, help you with a problem, or provide you with requested information, services, or programs that we offer.

The following describes the type of information that may be gathered when you visit Out & Equal and how that information is handled.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically
No individual identifying or personal information (such as your name) is automatically gathered when you visit our site. Out & Equal does not use 'cookies' or other electronic means to track your visit.

Our website does identify the IP address of computers that visit. An IP address is a unique number assigned to each computer on the Internet. This data is used for statistical purposes to determine how many unique users visit the site and in no way is it used to identify specific individuals.

If You Send Us Personal Information
Out & Equal is not set up to collect any personal information about you when you visit the site unless you choose to provide that information to us (for example, registering for our workshops). We use this information to contact you about the matter in which you expressed interest. Should we need to forward your request to a third party, all your personal information will be removed first. If there is a need to send your personal information to a third party, you will be contacted first to seek your permission. No personal information (including your IP address or email) collected at this site is sold, given, or released to any third parties without your express permission. The only exception to this is if legal action forces the release of this information*.

At any time, you may request that we no longer use the personal information that you have provided for the purposes that you had originally requested. Out & Equal will honor your request and remove all information pertaining to your request from our database.

Links to Other Sites
Out & Equal has links to other useful sites on the Internet. Out & Equal is not responsible for the content or privacy policy of sites not hosted on our website. When you leave our site, you will need to refer to the privacy policy listed on that site.

Security of Transaction Data
We ensure that your personal data, your credit card data, and your purchasing information remain secure by encrypting them as they are transferred across the Internet.

*To the extent that Out & Equal deems that such legal action may compromise its values and mission (i.e., pose a threat to the safety or equality of LGBT persons in the workplace), Out & Equal will take appropriate steps (including legal counteraction and/or civil disobedience) to resist complying with any such legal actions which mandates the release of personal information collected on the Internet.
