When you visit our website you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and website use information collected on an aggregate basis.

You may voluntarily supply us with personal information—including your email address, postal address, home or work telephone number and other personal information—for applying for a grant, correspondence, placing an order or participating in online surveys. If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protection for electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.

Our site may utilize a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website and the sites visited just before and just after ours. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.

We use personal information to administer our business activities, provide service and support and make other products and services available to our customers and prospects. Occasionally, we may use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you product and service offers are developed and managed under our traditional standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of all personal information provided by our users. You may notify us of your desire not to receive these offers at any time.

Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allow web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from web page to web page and to complete commercial transactions online. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.

We use website browser software tools such as cookies and web server logs to gather information about our website users’ browsing activities in order to constantly improve our website and better serve our users. This information helps us design and arrange our web pages in the most user-friendly manner while continually improving our website to better meet your needs. Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies traces the paths followed by users to our website as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our website and evaluate our website’s visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you.

Occasionally, we may use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As a user of our website, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking on a response box when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email request.

When you send confidential personal information to us on our website, secure server software encrypts all of your information before it is sent to us. Email you send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to you transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information through an unsecured email. This includes but is not limited to Social Security information and credit card or account numbers.

In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
