Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through the use of any of our standard forms, over the internet, via email, or through a telephone conversation with you.

service providers, who assist us in operating our business, such as our third party payment services provider (Stripe) and these service providers may not be required to comply with our privacy policy;
our related entities and other organisations with whom we have affiliations so that those organisations may provide you with information about goods and services and various promotions;
other users of our Website in order connect hosts and attendees of activities.
