The Way We Use Information:
We use the information you provide about yourself when you contact us for assistance or materials through our website, only to complete your request. We do not share this information with parties outside our organization without your permission. Only the professionals in our organization who need to know in order to fulfill your request use the information. The information you share in a request for assistance or materials will be stored in a secure internal database for the purposes of tracking your request and our services. Once you have submitted your request or comment, the information you share no longer appears on the website.
If you receive a service by us through this website, we will enter the mailing address and/or e-mail address that you provide in our internal, secure, database for the purposes of informing you about events or upcoming workshops that may be of interest to you or information about opportunities to donate in support of our services. You will always be given the option to ask to be removed from any list.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website, to plan services, and to share with funding bodies as needed. For example, we may tell a program funder that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without asking your permission and without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
