The short version:
We do not, under any circumstances, sell, rent or trade your e-mail address or contact information with anyone. Period.
The long version:
We hate spam as much as you do, and we try very hard to make sure you don’t get any spam from us or any of our business partners. Sometimes we do need to share data with outside vendors; for example, with our credit card processing vendor — we are not a bank so we need to hire an outside company to do it for us. When your information is shared with a third party vendor through our website, your private information is protected by the third party’s privacy policy. Here are links to some of our partners:
iContact provides us with mailing list management services and powers our “New class announcements” e-mail newsletter. When you sign up to receive e-mail alerts from us, your e-mail address will be shared with iContact. This vendor has a very strict privacy policy as well as a zero-tolerance policy for spam.
2Checkout.com, Inc. (2CO) is a third party vendor of our products and services. At this time, the vast majority of credit card purchases made from our website are actually products and/or services being resold through 2CO.
Authorize.net is strictly a credit card processing vendor. At this time, the only time your information is shared with this vendor is when you place a credit card order with us over the telephone. This is extremely rare.
Google Analytics is a tool that we use to monitor our website traffic. This service collects data about visits to our website and presents us with reports about how people use our website.
