How We Share Your Information
We may share your information with the following categories of third parties:
- Vendors, consultants, and over service providers who need access to your information to carry out work or perform services on our behalf;
- Other third parties as necessary to:
- comply with laws applicable to Barnstorm, a request from law enforcement or a government agency, or other legal process;

- Third-party analytics. We use selected third parties to collect data about how you interact with the ISBA website and our services. This information may be used to, among other things, improve the functionality of our website and services.
We also may disclose your information to other third parties if you have given us specific consent to do so.
Security of your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect the security of the information about you. Please understand, however, that no data transmitted over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. Accordingly, please be thoughtful about what information you send through the Services.
Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not intended for children under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect or use any personal data from children under the age of 16. No one under the age of 16 may provide any information to or through our Services. If we learn we have collected or received personal data from a child under the age of 16, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under the age of 16, please contact us at privacy@barnstormfoundry.com.
Do Not Track
Certain web browsers and other devices you may use to access the Services may permit you to submit your preference that you do not wish to be “tracked” online. We do not currently commit to responding to “do not track” requests, in part, because no common industry standard for “do not track” has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators.
Notice to Residents of California
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. Barnstorm does not share your information with third parties for direct marketing purposes. However, if you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.
As of the date of this privacy policy, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) does not apply to Barnstorm. If that were to change in the future, we will update this privacy policy.
Notice to Residents of Nevada
If you are a Nevada resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale of certain personal information, including your name and mailing address, to third parties. Barnstorm does not sell your personal information. If that were to change in the future, we will provide Nevada residents with a method to opt-out of those transactions.
International Visitors

Updates to this Policy
We may update our privacy practices from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make any material changes to the ways in which we process your information, then we will take reasonable efforts to notify you of these changes.
