With the increasing
capability to collect information about all of us electronically,
privacy has become an ever more serious issue.
If you visit our web site to read or download information, such
as program descriptions or info about our services:
We collect and store only the following information about you:
the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example,
aol.com, or columbia.edu);
the date and time you access our site; and
the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly
to our site.
We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors
to the different sections of our site, and to help us make our site
more useful to visitors.
If you identify yourself by sending an E-mail:
We use personally-identifying information from visitors in various
ways to further our programs and enhance our services, depending
on whether you:
request to be on our mailing list,
make a donation,
offer to volunteer, or
simply comment on our web site.
Depending on which of the above choices you make, we may put you
on our mailing list, thank you for your contribution, send you a
volunteer questionnaire, or simply send a response to your e-mail.
If you request to be on our mailing list, or if you make a contribution,
we will send you periodic mailings about our programs and activities.
If you request not to be on our mailing list, we will respect your
request. If you are on our mailing list, we will not sell your personal
information to commercial list services. However, we do occasionally
purchase lists from and trade lists with other like-minded nonprofit
organizations.
We want to be very clear: We will not obtain personally-identifying
information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose
to provide such information to us.
