1. What information we collect and why
If you become a registered user of the Site, we ask for: your name; your password; and your email address. On the Site we may also: save your favorite retreat search criteria; invite you to post reviews of your experiences with Members of the Site; or invite you to tell us about your experiences at the Site by completing a user survey. Your saved search criteria will enable you to rerun searches without having to reenter all the search criteria. Your reviews of experiences with Members will provide information to other users of the Site and to Members. Information in your user survey will be used to help us improve our services at Retreat Finder or improve the Site. We update the information we hold about you (e.g., your email address) when you provide us with new information about you.

2. Who collects the information
Retreat Finder collects the information about you via your direct input and our web hosting service provider. Please note that if you provide any information to any third party web site (e.g., a Member site) linked to or from the Site, the privacy of that information will not be covered by this policy, and may be subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that third party web site.

3. How your information is stored
Information about you is held in a database. The database is protected by a firewall as well as host-based security.

4. Disclosing your information
We understand how important it is to keep your personal information private, so we will disclose personal information we have about you only in the following circumstances: if you agree to the disclosure (as set forth in this policy or otherwise); or if disclosure is required or authorized by law.

We may also collect the following information during your visits to the Site: the fully qualified domain name from which you accessed the Site, or alternatively, your IP address; the date and time you accessed each page on the Site; the URL of any web page from which you accessed the Site; or the web browser that you are using and the pages you accessed. We use this information so that we can tell which pages are the most popular and where users spend most of their time, which in turn helps us to improve the Site. In addition, we send aggregated statistical information (but not personal information) to our participating retreats ("Members") and other service providers so that they can improve the effectiveness of their membership with Retreat Finder.

6. Junk mail or unsolicited email
Website users will only receive email from Retreat Finder if:

If you no longer wish to receive our emails, you may unsubscribe by logging into the Site and updating your profile, or by responding to the email with an unsubscribe request.
• A friend nominates you to receive a page from the Site. The email will be sent to you on behalf of your friend. You will not receive subsequent email from us, because Retreat Finder will not record your email address.
