If you fill out the contact form we will collect your name, email address, phone number and other basic contact information that you enter into the form. We collect this information solely for the purpose of contacting you at your request.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
