We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

The Internet domain (for example, “xcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account, or “yourschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our website;

The date and time you access our site;

If you linked to OAAA’s website from another website, the address of that website.

We use this information to help us make our website more useful to visitors, to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use.

If You Send Us Personal Information

If you choose to provide us with personal information by sending an email to OAAA, by making an online purchase/registering online for an OAAA event, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it through our website, we use that information to respond to your message, to fulfill your order/request, and to help us provide you with information.

If you register for an online account to access restricted materials, your contact information and selected topics of interest will be used to help us communicate with you and develop content suited to your interests.
