| What We Do with Collected Data |
| Data collected from KNOWLEDGE-MART.com members (people who have filled out our registration form and logged in) and eTrainers, are used to identify the member and/or eTrainer in order to allow that member and/or eTrainer to join or create classes and to give the power to that member to delete classes he/she may have created, or remove him/herself from participating in a class. Information we gather and collect about anonymous users and members logged into our service, is also used to provide you with content that may be of interest to you or relevant to your needs. Additionally, we may show advertisements to you that are relevant to your demographic information. KNOWLEDGE-MART.com requires revenue from advertising in order to provide you with free services.
