The PPWU Web site does not collect or store personally identifiable information unless you agree to provide it. We may collect aggregate information to measure visitor activity to improve the site's usefulness. For example, we may track which pages are most popular among visitors as a whole, then provide a "short cut" to such content on the homepage. We do not track the pages that you or any individual visitor may look at during a visit to our site, and we do not collect any other information without your knowledge and permission. The PPWU does not share, store or use personally identifiable information for any purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and the PPWU Web site’s Disclaimer.

Any changes to our privacy policy will be posted on this page so that you can always be aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Changes to this Privacy Policy will never be made retroactively.
