By sending us an electronic mail message, you may be sending us personal information (e.g., name, address, E-mail address), as in an official Freedom of Information Act request.

This site asks visitors who want to become a member of the site to fill out a registration form where you have the option of providing some additional information such as occupation, interests, and homepage URL. This information is made available publically to foster a sense of community. If you have any concerns about providing this information, simply leave the fields blank and your registration will still be processed.

However, registering on AikiWeb requires your full first and last names. Your name will be listed in the AikiWeb members pages and will also be attached to every post that you make; these pages may be included in search engines such as Google. This fact is explicitly stated in the site "Forum Rules" which you must read and agree to abide by when you register on AikiWeb.

When you register at AikiWeb Forums, we may send a cookie (a small data file) to your hard disk. While this cookie can tell us when you enter our sites and which pages you visit, it cannot read data off your hard disk.

Regardless of the information being transmitted to AikiWeb, we will protect all such information consistent with applicable law.

We will never disclose your personally identifying information to any third parties for any purpose without your prior consent. (We will NEVER sell your name, or personal information.)
