Signing up as a Soccer Silicon Valley member is the equivalent of signing a petition stating that you want the Earthquakes to have a new stadium. Soccer Silicon Valley collects information from members for a variety of other purposes as well. One of the main uses of this information is communication — you provide us with your e-mail address and we'll keep you informed about what's happening on the stadium front. We're also collecting information about where you live (city and state) so that we can characterize our membership base to interested parties such as cities or counties which would like to know about the strength of soccer support in their communities. We may at some point in the future publish a list of members online along with the city and state in which they live; if you would prefer not to be listed, we've provided a check-box for you to tell us so. We're also asking for some demographic and marketing information (number in household, number of professional soccer games you will attend this year, household income). This information will only be used in aggregate ("The average SSV member household consists of 3.4 people, goes to 8 games a year, and has an average income between $50,000 and $99,999," for example) and never used individually ("John Q. Public of Los Altos goes to 10 games and makes over $150,000 annually.") We will not share your contact information or demographic information with anyone. |
