OUR PRIVACY PROMISE TO YOU...
The AmberVision Foundation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”)
cares about protecting your privacy. We understand your concerns with regard to
how information about you is used and disclosed, and we appreciate your trust that
we will use and disclose information about you carefully and sensibly.
We promise never to sell, license, disseminate or otherwise share information about
you or your child, without your consent, unless compelled by state or federal law.
The AmberVision Foundation will undertake all measures we believe are necessary and sufficient to protect
the integrity of the data you input into the AmberVision database. No database system,
however, is 100% secure. In the unlikely event that information about you or your
child is accessed in an unauthorized way, we will communicate that fact to you directly
and in a timely manner.
Privacy Policy
The AmberVision Foundation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”)
cares about protecting your privacy. We understand your concerns with regard to
how information about you is used and disclosed, and we appreciate your trust that
we will use and disclose information about you carefully and sensibly. This notice
(this “Privacy Policy”) describes what information we collect about you, how we
collect it, how we use it and with whom we may share it. This Privacy Policy is
incorporated into and forms part of the Terms Of Use
of our Web site (www.ambervision.org, or any
replacement site, the “Site”). We encourage you
to become familiar with the terms and conditions of both this Privacy Policy and
the Terms Of Use. By accessing and
using the Site, you agree that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy
and you accept and consent to the privacy practices (and any uses and disclosures
of information about you) that are described in this Privacy Policy.
Changes to Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may change our privacy practices,
and this Privacy Policy, because of changes in our business or services, in applicable
legal or regulatory requirements, or in our attempts to better serve the needs of
our other customers. In the event of any changes to our privacy practices, notice
will be given in the manner described in the Terms
Of Use, and a revised Privacy Policy will be posted on the Site.
Please check back frequently to stay abreast of any changes to this Privacy Policy.
What Information Do We Collect?
Certain aspects of the Site allow you to voluntarily
submit information to us. You should be mindful of the information that you choose
to submit to us, and you should make sure that this information is complete and
accurate. Please do not share personal information about anyone else with us unless
you have the appropriate consent, authorization, or right to do so. In addition,
you must be at least 18 years old to register or sign-up on the Site, and if you
are not 18, please do not register or sign-up. Similarly, please do not use the
capabilities provided on the Site to invite anyone under 18 to the Site or otherwise
submit personally identifiable information about anyone under 18 to us.
We may collect certain other information (some of which
may be personally identifiable) from or about you in connection with your use of
the Site. We may also retain the content of, and metadata regarding, any correspondence
you may have with us or our representatives, regardless of the subject matter or
the mode of communication by which such correspondence is made. This information
helps us to improve our capabilities and services, as well as the Site and the content,
materials, and opportunities that we feature or describe on the Site, and to more
effectively and efficiently respond to both current and future inquiries.
As with many other Web sites, the Web servers used to
operate the Site may collect certain data pertaining to you and the equipment and
communications method that you use to access the Internet and the Site. Without
combining these data with other sources of information, they do not readily or personally
identify you. They may include such things as the Internet protocol (“IP”) address
assigned to your computer, specific pages that you access on the Site or that you
accessed immediately prior to visiting the Site, and the length of time you spend
in a given visit to the Site. The purposes for which this information is collected
and used include facilitating Site operation and system administration, generating
aggregated, non-identifiable statistical information, monitoring and analyzing Site
traffic and usage patterns, and improving the content and content delivery with
regard to the Site and the content, materials, opportunities, and services that
we describe or make available on the Site.
How Do We Use The Information
That We Collect?
We may use, disclose, and keep on file any information
that you submit or provide to us (or that you cause to be submitted or provided
to us) through the Site, as necessary and appropriate for the purposes for which
it was submitted. We will not use or disclose personally or individually identifiable
information about you (or about any other individuals) for other purposes, except
as specifically provided in this Privacy Policy.
In addition to the uses mentioned or described above
or otherwise described in our Terms Of Use,
we may use the information that we collect on the Site to analyze and improve the
content, features, materials, and opportunities that we make available on the Site,
to notify you of changes made to the Site or new opportunities made available on
or through the Site, to evaluate your needs and customize the Site content delivered
to you according to those needs, to send you promotional materials that you request
from us, and for other legitimate and lawful business purposes. If you contact us
for support or assistance in connection with using the Site, we may use information
about you or your system for purposes such as verifying whether your system meets
the minimum requirements needed to use the Site and any capabilities or functionality
that we make available on the Site. In addition, we may use information that we
collect or obtain about you to contact you, if you request information or ask us
questions, or to send you announcements, newsletters, and notices about our services
or your account from time to time.
With Whom Do We Share Information
That We Collect?
In addition to any other uses or disclosures mentioned
above or otherwise described in our Terms Of Use,
in the course of conducting our business, we may transfer certain information that
we collect or that you submit to us, whether solicited or unsolicited, to the trusted
business partners and service providers that we utilize in operating, maintaining,
and further developing the Site and in delivering the content, materials, opportunities,
and services that we make available on or through the Site or otherwise as part
of our business. The sharing of such information is only to the extent necessary
and appropriate for the purposes for which the information was collected or submitted.
We may produce reports on Site traffic or usage patterns and share these reports
with our business partners and others, but the information contained in these reports
is anonymous and does not allow identification of any specific individual or entity.
Similarly, we may from time to time share aggregated information and data that do
not identify any particular individual or entity with third parties (such as, for
example, reporting the total number of users or members that have registered on
the Site). Please rest assured, however, that other than as expressly provided in
this Privacy Policy, any personal information that we obtain through the Site will
not be shared with third parties in a manner that identifies or is attributable
to any particular individual.
We may disclose information (including personal and
individually identifiable information) about you if we become subject to a subpoena
or court order or if we are otherwise legally required to disclose such information.
We may also use and disclose information about you to establish, exercise, or protect
our legal rights, to enforce the Terms Of Use,
to assert and defend against legal claims, or if we believe such disclosure is necessary
to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding actual or suspected illegal
or fraudulent activities or potential threats to the physical safety or well-being
of any person.
As the Company continues to grow and develop its business,
it is possible that our organizational structure might change or that we might merge
or otherwise combine with, or that the Company or portions of its business might
be acquired by, another company. In any such transactions, customer information
generally is, will most probably be, and should be expected to be one of the transferred
business assets.
How Do We Protect Information
Collected About You?
The Company uses commercially reasonable measures to
secure and protect information transmitted via or stored on the Site. However, we
cannot and do not guarantee that any such transmissions or information will be totally
secure. Unencrypted Internet communications are not secure, and no security measures
are impenetrable. You agree to immediately notify us of any breach of Site security,
this Privacy Policy, or the Terms Of Use
of which you become aware.
Linked Sites
Hyperlinks may be posted on the Site that link to the
Web sites of third parties affiliated with the Company and other Web sites not under
our control. We are not responsible for, and
this Privacy Policy does not apply to, the privacy practices of those sites or of
any other sites or companies that we do not own or control. We encourage you to
seek out and read the privacy policy of each Web site that you visit, so that you
understand how personal information that is collected about you is used and protected.
