			1. Processing of Personal Information and Consent

				Personal information is information from which an individual's identity may be
				ascertained. The nature of personal information collected by CFA through CFA’s 
				web site generally comprises an individual's name and contact details (including 
				address, phone, fax and e-mail). Cookies, server log information, location data, 
				IP Address and other web based behaviors such as your navigation behavior through 
				all of CFA’s web-based properties are passively collected by CFA and are also 
				considered personal information.

                CFA collects information from you including, but not limited to, survey information,
				contest entry information, site registration, name and address, telephone number, fax
				number and payment information including credit card number and billing address.

                CFA also collects other types of personal information from time to time including, among
				other things, credit information, only for purposes of online catalog sales, registration
				fees and other sales and services.

                CFA will not collect personal information unless it is necessary for CFA to perform one or
				more of its functions and activities and you consent. CFA will delete personal information
				when it is no longer required for such functions and activities.

                CFA will generally collect personal information from you directly. For example, CFA may
				collect personal information by telephone or letter, when you attend a function or event,
				request printed information or specific mailings, enter a competition, or provide a
				resume. Your consent is required to collect and keep this information in CFA’s database.
                CFA will correct or delete this information at any time upon your request.

				As used herein, “your consent” shall mean the affirmative act of giving your consent.
				Whenever your consent is given in the context of a written declaration which also concerns
				other matters, the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly
				distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using
				clear and plain language. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, but
				the withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing based upon
				such consent before its withdrawal. It shall be as easy to withdraw as it is to give consent.

			2. Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

				Personal information CFA collects may be shared with committees within CFA, where it
				will be kept strictly confidential and will only be disclosed on a need-to-know basis. CFA
				will generally use and disclose your personal information for the purposes for which the
				personal information was initially obtained.

                CFA may also use your personal information for a purpose related to that for which the
				personal information was initially obtained if that other purpose would be within your
				reasonable expectations. Related purposes might include, but not necessarily be limited
				to, adding your name to a contact list, email notification or invitation list.

                CFA will not use or disclose your personal information for any other purposes unless:
					
					a. required or authorized by law;
					
					b. required in order to investigate any unlawful activity;
					
					c. required by an enforcement body for investigative activities; or
					
					d. necessary to prevent a serious and imminent threat to a person's life, 
					   health or safety, or to public health or safety.

                CFA will promptly inform you of such disclosure, unless prohibited.

			3. Direct Marketing

				From time to time, CFA may use your personal information to identify activities which
				may be of interest to you and send you information regarding products available through
				CFA’s business partners. You may contact CFA’s Privacy Officer as provided below if you
				do not wish to receive direct marketing information, and CFA will take prompt action to
				ensure that you do not receive any further direct marketing information.

			4. Ad Servers

                CFA may partner with or have special relationships with GDPR compliant ad server
				companies.
