Collecting your Personal Information
You will be asked to provide personal information when registering for
an Eggheads.org user account, or joining one of our mailing lists. Personal

may remove him or herself from the list, or a URL where the user may
find such directions
- To contact users on an individual basis.
- In some cases, users' personal information may be publicly available
through a user's profile display. In such cases, users have the option
to "opt-out" of publicly displaying their real names. In cases where site
profiles allow users to display optional information publicly, such entry
and display is at the user's discretion and may be changed at any time
by the user.
