Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operation of SMARTFAMILYLITERACY.ORG, we gather certain types of information about our users, and we would like to explain the types of information we gather, what we do with it and how to correct or change the information. Our website collects two types of personally identifying information from users: personal data (such as names and e-mail addresses); and aggregated data (such as information about traffic patterns on our website on a daily basis). Children and Privacy OUR WEBSITE(S) encourage parents and guardians to spend time with their children online, and to be fully familiar with the sites visited by their children. No information should be submitted to or posted on the Site by users under the age of 13 without the consent of their parent or guardian. Personal information from anyone registering on the site and reporting they are under the age of 13 is not kept in our database. Links to Other Sites It is important to note that OUR WEBSITE(S) contain links to sites other than OUR WEBSITE(S), and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as OUR WEBSITE(S). For instance, if you click on an advertisement on OUR WEBSITE(S) and to an entirely different site. This can include links from advertisers, content providers and partners who may use OUR WEBSITE(S)'s logo and or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you, and may collect data and make uses of it that OUR WEBSITE(S) would not. OUR WEBSITE(S) reserve the right to change this policy at any time by notifying users of the existence of a revised privacy policy. You can e-mail us with any further questions at privacy@smartfamilyliteracy.org. Personal Data Personal data is collected when users provide personal data to OUR WEBSITE(S), for example in registering for electronic newsletters or other membership services, in answering surveys, in requesting information, and purchasing items from OUR WEBSITE(S). Also, we collect the e-mail addresses of users who post messages to our message boards (forum). Aggregated Information Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or site registrations, is collected through various methods. For example, OUR WEBSITE(S) collect IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from OUR WEBSITE(S) do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us. OUR WEBSITE(S) collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on OUR WEBSITE(S). Use of Information Collected by SMARTFAMILYLITERACY.ORG We use both the personal and aggregated information we collect for multiple purposes. The information is used to improve the content of the Site, to customize the content and/or layout of the Site for each individual user and to notify users about updates to the Site or promotional offers or opportunities that we believe will be of interest to you. Our website shares aggregated information with third parties for both advertising and promotional purposes. Our website does not share your personal information with third parties without your permission. |
