Collection of Information 

In the course of using this Site, SP may ask you for certain information, including, but not limited to, your name, email address, postal address and telephone number (home and work) (any of which is “Personal Information”). Such information is provided voluntarily and knowingly. You can visit our Site without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself; however, you must provide Personal Information in order to receive communications, certain program-related information from SP and/or other information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies 

SP may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information (“General Information”) about Site visitors.

You can control many tracking tools, including cookies. In particular, you may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Site. Additionally, some browsers have a ‘do not track’ feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet consistent or uniform, so we are currently not set up to respond to those signals.
