This general privacy statement was written to explain the cases in which this Website will request certain types of personal information -- e.g. name and email address -- and what is done to insure the safekeeping of that information.
As with most Web sites on the World Wide Web, this Web site sometimes offers links to other Web sites. Please understand that when you click on a recommended link, you may move to another Web site unrelated to astronomynv.org. This Website has no control over the content, availability and privacy policies of such external sites. Thus, this privacy statement does not describe privacy practices of such links. It is suggested that visitors read the privacy statements of recommended links since privacy policies of such sites may differ greatly from this site's privacy policy.
Please also note that this Website offers direct links to affiliate sites, sites where visitors can request information, and/or purchase various types of products and services, such as books from amazon.com. Such sites have their own privacy policies. Thus, this privacy policy does not describe the practices of affiliate and partnership sites.

That is, by contacting astronomynv.org, or by becoming a member of ASN's Blog or any other member service offered on astronomynv.org, the visitor consents to receive communications in reply.
