Are my profile information kept confidential?
In general, your profile information is only visible to other registered members. The web at large cannot access your profile information. Sensitive profile information you provided, such as birth date, is only collected by default to ensure you are within consenting age for membership eligibility. That information is not visible to the public. It is important that you provide a legitimate birth date in order for the site to index your profile to help other alumni locate you. Entering a non conforming birth date, such as 00/00/0000 will result in your profile not showing up in the member profile listing or member search results.

Why is the site so slow?
We are a non profit organization, and we operate on a shoestring budget. We are hosted on a shared server due to restricted monetary means or lack thereof. Should the site performance be so poor as to render it practically unusable, we will upgrade it to a dedicated server. Make sure to let us know when it is time to do so.
