Automatically Collected Information

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by the Foundation. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses.

Use of Cookies

The Foundation website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Foundation pages, or register with the Foundation site or services, a cookie helps Foundation to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your Personal Information. When you return to the same Foundation website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Foundation features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Foundation services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your Personal Information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control. The security, integrity, and privacy of any and all Personal Information and data exchanged between you and us cannot be guaranteed.
