Protecting your personal information

We will provide specific notice before collecting any of your personal information (details that can identify you as an individual, such as your name or address). We will explain what information is being collected and how it will be used. You have the option to decline to have this information collected or transferred for marketing purposes.
We collect no personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information to us. We do not use techniques that collect personal information about you without your knowledge.
We will not transfer your personal information to a third party for marketing purposes unless we have your consent. Any personally identifiable data about our customers, exhibitors or web site visitors is stored securely.
We collect no personal information about children (under 13 years of age) without the express, positive consent of their parent or guardian.

How we use non-personal information

Our site's operating system may automatically record some general information about your visit, such as:

• The Internet domain for your Internet service provider, such as "company.com" or "service.ca" and the IP address of the computer accessing the Web site, such as "ppp-55
• The type of browser (such as "Netscape version x" or "Internet Explorer version x") you are using
• The type of operating system you are using (such as Macintosh, Unix, or Windows)
• The date and time you visit our site and the Web pages that you visit on our site, along with the address of the previous Web site you were visiting, if you linked to us from another Web site.

We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our site more useful to visitors. We may disclose this non-personal information to third parties such as sponsors, clients or advertisers and/or use it for auditing purposes. This tracking system does not record personal information about individuals or link this information to any personal data collected.
We may use "cookies" that identify you as a return visitor. A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then store the cookie on your hard drive. So, when you come back to visit us again, we can tailor information to suit your individual preferences. The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more meaningful visit and to measure Web site activity. Cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. Browsers such as Netscape allow you to disable cookie collection if you wish, or inform you when a cookie is being stored on your hard drive.

What about spam?

You will not receive marketing e-mail from this organization unless you have consented to receive it.
From time to time we may use e-mail as a way to keep in touch with our existing customers, exhibitors and other interested individuals. However, we do not send "spam" (unsolicited marketing e-mail).
If you agree to receive e-mail communications from us, every e-mail message we send to you will include an e-mail address to which you can respond. If at any time you decide you do not want to receive marketing e-mail from us, simply let us know and we will remove your name and e-mail address from our marketing lists. We will do the same with your mailing address and telephone number, on request.
