The primary reason we obtain this information is to make the site easier for you to use by not having you enter information more than once. We may also periodically use your information to alert you to updated information and other new services from Woodturning Online.

If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of Woodturning Online. But you will not be able to access areas or use features that require registration.

We do not share information acquired on Woodturning Online with any external parties.

The only exceptions to this policy are those cases where you choose to make certain information publicly available. Examples of this include:

Classified ads
We publish your member name, and city in the ad along with the ad text. We do not publish your phone number unless you check the box asking that it be included in your ad.

Woodturning Online forum
Anything you enter in the forum is publicly visible. We don't do anything with the information, but since you've entered it, we can not prevent others from using it.

Directories
If you fill out a member's web sites directory listing, anything you include on these forms could be published on Woodturning Online. We do not do anything else with the information. Since the listing is a link to your web site, anything you put on your web site will be visible to visitors.

Polls
All information in the Polls is anonymous. We do not match responses with IP addresses or make any other attempt to determine the identity of the responses.

Product reviews
We publish the name and email address of the reviewer unless anonymity is requested. Since the purpose of product reviews is to create credible, personal options about products and services, anonymous reviews may or may not be published.

Email
Submissions, suggestions, comments, articles, photos, and other items which are sent in are occasionally published with the name and email address of the author. If you wish to remain anonymous in any email submission, please tell us. We do not, under any circumstances, sell, trade, or give away email addresses or any other personal information gathered from Woodturning Online.

Registered User Profiles in the Forum
When you register for the forum, your information is protected by use of a password which you select. Each person who registers must have a unique email address and user name. Duplicate profiles using the same email address or user name are not permitted. We highly recommend that you select a password which is neither common or known to others. We encourage you to NOT use information such as your Social Security Number, Phone Number or Date of Birth as your password.

If you are a previous registered user and you have lost or forgotten your password, you may reset it using our "I forgot my password" feature. Click the link on any login page to request a new password. The new password will be emailed to you immediately. Use this new password to login into the forums and to modify your profile. We cannot provide your password by any other means. You can now change your password to something more desirable to you.

We provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information at any time. After logging in, follow the "Profile" link provided on the top navigation bar of the Forum. You may view and edit personal information you have already given us.

Contacting Other Members in the Forum
If you want to contact any of the other members in the forum, you may access the memberlist from the top navigation bar of the Forum. This function allows you to send a "private message" to the member but does not give you their email address, which remains private.

Subcriber List

You may also elect to receive or discontinue receiving any email newsletters we may choose to distribute periodically. The subcribe (unsubcribe) function is contained on the Woodturning Online home page.

Any other exceptions will be specifically noted on the page itself. If you have any questions or require clarification of any portion of our privacy policy, please contact us.
