You have the option of placing personal information (name, email address, etc.) on the site's bulletin board or poll comments. If you choose to offer this information we ask that you be aware that this information will be displayed on a public website and as such will be available to anyone. You should use discretion. You also have the right to email the site and ask that any entry you or your children have made or which refers to you or your children be removed. 

Non-personal information is data about usage and service that is not associated with a specific personal identity. Non-personal information is collected and summarized into a statistical database.  The database is organized by date and includes which pages have been visited and how often, browser type, referring URLs, and IP address. This information is evaluated to improve site organization and navigation.

This site includes links to third-party websites that contain related information. These sites, which open in a new window, may have privacy practices that differ from ours.  We do not control or have any input into how other websites are structured or how they handle personal information. 

The "How Did You Find Us" poll is managed as part of this website, but the information itself is collected and stored using HTML Gear provided by Lycos.  You may wish to review the Lycos privacy policy.

The Alm Website Shop is sponsored by Cafepress.com.  Your visit to the shop and any purchases you make are covered by the Cafepress.com privacy policy.

We are committed to protecting the privacy of children, and abide by the "Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998" (COPPA).  Our interactive pages are monitored so that any entry deemed to be inappropriate (either by virtue of content or the amount of personal information revealed) is removed quickly. Parents and/or guardians have the right to ask us to delete his/her child's entries at any time.
