When ordering products or services on the site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

How your personal information is used
The Woodworking Shows collects your information in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select. If you register to attend an educational program, for example, the information is used to register your rights, if any, to support, discounts, or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. If you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. The information may also be shared with any sponsors or partners of The Woodworking Shows who are participating in presenting programs, contests, and/or other products and benefits to you. The information that you provide is also used as part of our effort to keep you informed about new products and programs, special offers, and other products and services of The Woodworking Shows and selected third parties.
