For example, we may ask you for information when you register for meetings, participate in a survey or ask to receive a newsletter or e-mail. You always have the option not to provide the information we request.

Our site's secure information requires users to give us contact information (like their name and email address). We use contact information to send the user information about CGPCT. The user's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

Use of Information

Our primary goal in collecting user information is to enhance your experience on our website. We achieve this goal by, among other things, providing interactive communications such as our electronic newsletters to the e-mail address that you provide to us, and developing future editorial content based on your interests. To develop content targeted to your interests, we use aggregated user information to determine which areas of our website users prefer based upon traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but instead how well each page or content area performs overall.

This website contains both free public pages and also password-secured pages for members only. We derive revenues from membership dues, meeting fees and sponsorships. In order to attract and retain sponsors we use the aggregated, anonymous information that we gather (as well as information from third-party market researchers) to describe our services to partners and to assist our sponsors to better understand our audience. We do not disclose personally identifying information about our users to these parties.

This website may also disclose information about our users when we believe, in good faith, that the disclosure is required by law.
