Cookies
SDCOMMUNITIES sends a "cookie" to your computer upon your first visit. A cookie is a computer
file stored in the Cookies folder on your computer that identifies you as a unique user to our

What information does SDCOMMUNITIES collect?
For the purpose of searching the web site, SDCOMMUNITIES only collects generic information
such as zip codes. It does not collect any unique information about you such as your name, email
address, etc. except when you specifically and knowingly provide such information when submitting
a form or in the SDCOMMUNITIES Forums. The information we collect is only used as a way to provide
better, more customized service to our users. For example, you may choose to set your search
radius to search within 3 miles of your community. SDCOMMUNITIES will store that information
in the cookie stored on your computer so that the search radius is always set to three miles
for you.

Links to other sites

When SDCOMMUNITIES uses a URL redirecter, if you click on a URL from a search result,
information about the click is sent to SDCOMMUNITIES, and SDCOMMUNITIES in turn sends you to

visits SDCOMMUNITIES, or which other query words are most often used with the query word
"training". Please be aware, however, that if we possess personal information about you, we
will release it, if required, in order to comply with any valid legal process such as a search
