Information about Privacy on StacieFoundation.org

StacieFoundation.org is committed to protecting your privacy. You can visit most pages on our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this privacy statement explains data collection and use in those situations. This privacy statement only applies to StacieFoundation.org and StacieFoundation.com; it does not apply to other online or offline sites, products or services. Please read the complete StacieFoundation.org privacy statement.

COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are registering for an event, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access premium area, signing up for training, or when purchasing and/or registering StacieFoundation.org products or donating to StacieFoundation.org. Personal information collected by StacieFoundation.org often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

For example: If you choose a service or transaction that requires payment, such as making a purchase in the Shop area of the Web site, we will request personal information necessary for billing and/or shipping, such as: name, address, telephone number, and credit card number.

When you buy a product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. We keep this registration information on file with any information you've already given us on previous visits to our Web site.

StacieFoundation.org also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of StacieFoundation.org.

StacieFoundation.org also collects information about which pages our customers visit within our web site. This site visitation data is identified only by a unique ID number, and it is never linked with personal information.

USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
To ensure our site is relevant to your needs.
To deliver services, such as newsletters, that you request.
To allow you access to limited-entry areas of our site as appropriate.
To alert you to products, events, classes and training, special offers, calendar of events, updated information and other new services from StacieFoundation.org, if you so request.

We will merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic information for research purposes, and we may use this information in aggregate to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of StacieFoundation.org, with your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your personal information in order to provide you with personalized content. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

CONTROL OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, StacieFoundation.org will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.

StacieFoundation.org may send out periodic e-mails informing you of products or services you have requested, or confirming your request of a product or service. You will be able to unsubscribe to these mailings, if you so desire.

ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
StacieFoundation.org will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
StacieFoundation.org is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide in computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit sensitive information (such as a credit card number) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

PROTECTION OF YOUR CHILDREN'S PERSONAL INFORMATION StacieFoundation.org is a general audience site and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

USE OF COOKIES
When someone visits the site, a cookie may be placed on the customer's machine (if the customer accepts cookies) or is read if the customer has visited the site previously. One use of cookies is to assist in the collection of the site visitation statistics described above.
