    Beyond The Portal will not share or disclose information regarding its members 
    except (I) when we receive legal process such as a court order; (II) when 
    reasonably necessary to protect the organization's rights or property; or

    Beyond The Portal does not collect personally identifiable information unless 
    individuals provide such information on a voluntary basis. You should be aware, 
    however, that any information that you disclose in a public space such as 
    forums, chat room, or personal/team Web site, such information, along with any substantive information 
    disclosed in the user's communication is freely available to anyone else 
    visiting that space. Beyond The Portal cannot safeguard any personally identifiable 
    information you disclose in these locations, nor can it ensure that information 
    you voluntarily supply to third parties remains private. Personally identifiable information 
    on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated 
    third parties without the approval of the user. Please review the privacy policies 
    of third party sites you frequent to ensure that your privacy preferences 
    are respected.
Beyond The Portal will normally delete your personally identifiable account information twelve months after the member account is cancelled, upon request, unless we are under a legal obligation to retain it. We preserve account information for this short period of time in the event you wish to reactivate your member account and retain your previous e-mail address.
