Privacy, Permissions, and Other Legal Stuff
Privacy
Okay, here's the deal up front: this website is offered as a service to those interested in our organization and activities, namely you. We will never share your email address (or any other information we've collected from you) with anyone without your permission.
We may send out periodic news updates about the science and engineering fair and its activities. They're pretty important (or we wouldn't be sending them) but we'll only contact you with stuff you've signed up for or directly related to the interests you've listed. If you don't want to continue receiving updates or other communications from us, you can remove your name from our mailing list or change your expressed interests at any time by clicking the easy, automated instructions at the end of any email, or by sending us an email with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. We think it would be pretty silly to remove your name entirely, but, hey, that's your decision and we won't interfere.
We won't show pop-up ads or otherwise intrude with unwanted advertising.
Period. End of story.
Well, almost. Here's a couple of things you need to be aware of. Like most websites, we do collect aggregate information on what pages users access or visit on this website. The information we collect is used for internal review only to improve the content of our Web pages and then discarded.
This website sometimes contains links to other sites. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.
We take every precaution we can to protect your privacy and user information. When you submit sensitive information via this website, your information is protected both online and offline.
If you have any questions regarding this policy, or any questions at all regarding the operation of this website, please contact us. We'd love to hear from you. Really.
