‍General Information/Collection and Use of Data
‍We welcome the public to visit our Site, which can be browsed without the need to submit any personal information online.  For those visitors who visit our Site without registering or signing up for newsletters or other electronic alerts, we may collect your internet protocol address, the name of your internet service provider, the browser and type of machine you are using, the website that referred you to us, and the pages of our Site that you visit (the “Public Information”).  For those who visit our Site through registering or signing up for our electronic newsletters, we will collect the Public Information described above and the data you provide to us voluntarily on the data forms, such as your name and company affiliation (the “Visitor Information”).  The Public Information and the Visitor Information is collectively referred to herein as the “Data”. The Data collected from you may be used by the Foundation generally to improve the Site, to provide you with newsletters, articles, and other items of interest, to generate usage or demographic statistics so that we may better understand your needs, to measure Site activity, and to improve the Site’s structure in helping users better reach needed information, all of which is intended to enhance the usefulness of the Site to our visitors.  We may also use the Data to educate ourselves about the interests and concerns of our visitors for purposes of better serving the community and our grantees.  We will not use any Data for commercial purposes.  Any use of this Site for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.

‍Technology
‍The Foundation and vendors acting on its behalf may use the Data in combination with various Internet technologies to help manage Site operations, track user traffic, and gather broad demographic information. We may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (i.e., a number assigned by your Internet Service Provider so you can access the Internet) to diagnose possible technical problems, administer our Site, and aggregate Data on use.  Log files, which identify every request made to our server, may be used to determine statistically which areas of the Site our visitors prefer and to prepare future content based on the interests of our visitors. We may also use “cookies” to better serve our visitors.  A “cookie” is a small data file that certain websites write to your computer’s hard drive when you access the site. A cookie file can contain information, such as a user ID, that a website uses to track the pages you have visited, but the only personal information a cookie contains is information you supply.  Cookies may also allow our Site to recognize and load your pages on repeat visits to the Site.  A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Our site and HTML-formatted e-mail newsletters may use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to understand a visitor’s behavior.  A web beacon (also called a single-pixel or clear GIF) is an electronic image that can recognize certain types of information on a visitor’s computer, such as a visitor’s cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed.  Some web beacons may be unusable if you elect to reject their associated cookies.  We may also use customized links or other similar technologies to track e-mail links that you select.  We may associate personal information with the Data in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications.  Each e-mail communication includes an unsubscribe link allowing you to stop delivery of that type of communication. If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website or via HTML-formatted e-mails, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence.  You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of our Site if you do so.    You do not need to have cookies turned on to use/navigate through the Site, although access to and use of the Site might be limited at times.
