One of the main objectives of Culinary Inspirations web site, however, is to encourage networking and participation in interactive events by Culinary Inspirations Instructors and site visitors. To support this networking and interaction, Culinary Inspirations may require that visitors provide information to access certain areas of its web site. This information may include name, email and postal addresses, phone numbers, and other demographic information. Areas of our web site requiring this information generally include any interactive area, such as forum and chat discussions, surveys, on-site registrations and applications. Visitors provide this information on a voluntary basis to gain access to these areas. Culinary Inspirations may also collect aggregate information on which pages visitors access as they use our site as well as the email addresses with visitors who correspond with us directly from the Web site.

Culinary Inspirations does not provide any of the email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifiable information that it collects on its web site to any other individual or organization for any purpose, including commercial. Culinary Inspirations uses the information we collect to improve the content of our Web site; to enhance existing products, services, and member benefits; and to plan for new products, services, and member benefits.

If you provide your telephone or fax number on the web site, Culinary Inspirations may contact you via telephone regarding any questions they may have about a product or service order (including membership applications, conference registrations, or other product orders). Therefore, it is important that you provide us with your correct phone number to serve you more promptly.

Culinary Inspirations will use the aggregate data we collect to perform statistical analysis of the collective characteristics and behavior of our members and visitors, to measure overall customer demographics, and to analyze how and where to use our resources.

In our message boards, we do collect all logins and dialogue. Dialogue may be archived for later retrieval. Personal information, personal references, and obvious grammatical errors may be removed from the transcripts before they are archived.

Culinary Inspirations, however, cannot control the acts of its instructors who use the message boards. If personal information, such as name, email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers, are provided through these modules, they may conceivably be used by others for unsolicited e-mail or other contact.
