purposes or for release to third parties.

Transactional Information: ESPA may maintain a database of aggregated information about the transactions on the Site (e.g., offer/request data, product/service categories, product/service prices and event/service registration).

Technical Information: We also collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from all users of our Site and may catalog the type of computer, browser, or operating system used by the user.

How Does ESPA Use that Information?
The Site offers two different levels of service: (1) a members only section (the "Members Only Section"); and (2) publicly available information areas. Consequently, until you register to access a Members Only area, you are able to browse the Site without providing any personal identifying information. In particular, you do not need to register with ESPA or submit any personal identifying information to view information in those sections of the Site that are publicly accessible, such as the About ESPA, News and Events sections. Entry will be permitted without any need to login, although your browser may tell us what type of computer and operating system you are using as well as other kinds of technical information.

Only the Members Only Section requires that you register with ESPA. Accordingly, if you wish to become a member, you will need to agree to provide your personal identifying information to be used as discussed below. In addition, if you wish to receive information from ESPA, order products and services from ESPA, be included in the ESPA member directory, and/or participate and receive the results of surveys, then ESPA will need to receive your personal identifying information, and in particular, your name and e-mail address for communication purposes. Please note, however, that the ESPA member directory lists a registered member's name, e-mail address, and certain demographic information such as title, employer, office phone number, and office address.

When you provide personal identifying information to ESPA, you share that information only with ESPA, unless you are using ESPA's services as a part of a third party Web site (in which case information sharing between such third party and ESPA will take place in order for the third party to offer ESPA's services) or it is specifically stated otherwise.

Below, is more detail on how ESPA uses your personal identifying information.

Contact Information: ESPA may use your contact information to provide its goods and services, to share your information with others as a part of the Members Only on-line directory, to advertise its goods and services and the goods and services of third parties, to create a personalized experience for you, to provide you with news and information, to contact you regarding a survey, to complete a transaction for goods and services, and to get in touch with you when necessary with respect to transactions conducted through the Site, material changes in our Site’s policies, new services ESPA may offer, or otherwise. We do not share your contact information with other types of third parties for any other purpose, except to a court or governmental agency if required by law.

Technical Information: We use technical information, such as your IP address or browser type, to help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze Site usage trends, track user movements on the Site, and to otherwise manage and monitor our Site.
