Such information is always voluntarily submitted by you (e.g., when you fill out the required provisions on the “Become A Volunteer” page, “Contact Us” page or “Feedback” page, etc.. The information collected is used to send email communications and other information we think will be of interest to you. The name, comments or email address that you enter will be saved to this website’s database, along with your computer’s IP address (i.e. Google Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), and the time and date that you submitted your data.
