SVRT.org is committed to protecting your privacy. Privacy is a shared responsibility and we cannot protect you from yourself. Please,

• Think before using your full name or a well-known nickname as your user name. This is a public Internet site that is indexed by search engines and read by thousands of people every day.
• Protect your personal identifying information. Do not include your e-mail address, your mailing address, your telephone number, your date of birth, your employer, or any other personally identifying information in your profile, a post, or a message to anyone that you do not know and trust.
• Protect your membership by choosing a good password. Good passwords are long, contain a mix of letters, numbers, and other characters, and are hard to guess.

The remainder of this privacy statement explains our policies on collecting, using, and sharing information.

You control what information is displayed:

• Under Display name you may request that your posts and profile are labeled with your username only or your full name.
• Under Display e-mail you may specify that your e-mail address is displayed to all users or concealed from un-registered users. Other organizations may send unsolicited e-mail (or SPAM) to e-mail addresses that appear on public web pages.

Your profile may include the following information that is public, optional, and may contain personally identifying information:

• Company or other affiliation.
