Please read the following Privacy Policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you use this website. When you use this website, you consent to the use of your personal information by the Company in the manner specified in this Privacy Policy. This policy may change periodically, so please check back from time to time. The date of the last update to this Privacy Policy was July 2021.

Information We Collect

As with most websites, if you visit our website to browse, read, or download information:

  • Your web browser automatically sends us (and we may retain) information such as the:

  • Internet domain through which you access the Internet (e.g., yourServiceProvider.com if you use a commercial Internet service provider, or yourSchool.edu if you use an Internet account from your school);

  • Internet Protocol address of the computer you are using;

  • Type of browser software and operating system you are using;

  • Date and time you access our site; and

  • The Internet address of the site from which you linked directly to our site.

We will use this information as aggregate data to help us maintain this site, e.g., to determine the number of visitors to different sections of our site, to ensure the site is working properly, and to help us make our site more accessible and useful.

We will not use this information to identify individuals, except for site security or law enforcement purposes. We will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide such information.

Other Information We Collect 

If you choose to identify yourself (or otherwise provide us with personal information) when you use our online forms:

  • We will collect (and may retain) any personally identifying information, such as your name, street address, email address, and phone number, and any other information you provide.

  • We will use this information to try to fulfill your request and may use it to provide you with additional information at a later time. We will not disclose such information to third parties, except as specified in this privacy policy.

  • If you request information, services, or assistance, we may disclose your personal information to those third parties that (in our judgment) are appropriate in order to fulfill your request. If, when you provide us with such information, you specify that you do not want us to disclose the information to third parties, we will honor your request. Note, however, that if you do not provide such information, it may be impossible for us to refer, respond to or fulfill your request. 

  • If your communication relates to a law enforcement matter, we may disclose the information to law enforcement agencies that we deem appropriate.

How Long We Keep Information

We may keep information that we collect for an unlimited period of time.

Security

Please note that electronic communication, particularly email, is not necessarily secure against interception. Please do not send sensitive data (e.g., Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers) by email or web form.

Cookies

We may use cookies in order to customize this site for return visitors. These cookies are not required for site functionality. Additionally, third-party widgets may install cookies depending on their configuration. You are not required to accept any cookies to use this site.

Google Analytics

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about the use of this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site.

We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not use Google Analytics to collect personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google.

Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.

Other Privacy Matters

Information from Children:

The Company does not direct its website to children under thirteen (13) years of age. Individuals under eighteen (18) should consult with their parents or guardian about the use of this website.

Monitoring, Enforcement, and Legal Requests:

The Company is not obligated to monitor this website or its use or to retain the content of any user session. However, the Company reserves the right at all times to monitor, review, retain, and/or disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to cooperate with law enforcement and other authorities in investigating a claim of illegal activity. We may use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to protect our service, website, clients, potential clients, or others.

Other Websites:

Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Privacy Policy, this policy only addresses the Company’s use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose personal information to other websites, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of those other sites. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose any personal information.

Transmission Errors or Unauthorized Acts:

No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, the Company cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or any information provided online, and you do so at your own risk.

The Company will not be liable for disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties. Once we receive your transmission, we will do our best to ensure its security on our systems by making reasonable efforts to protect the information.

Security:

Any information provided to the Company is treated with care and discretion. The Company will take a proactive approach to ensure the information is kept private and is not misused.
