Automatic Online Information

We and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information from your computer or mobile device over time and across different websites when you use our websites, such as your Internet Protocol address, your geographic location, your browser type, your operating system, the pages you view on the website, the pages you view immediately before and after you access the website, and the search terms you enter on the website. This information allows us and our service providers to recognize you and personalize your experience if you return to the website and to improve the website and the services we provide. 

 

Cookies

We and our service providers may collect this information using “cookies,” which are small text files that many websites save on your computer when you visit and access when you return, or similar technologies. We also collect this information by setting a unique anonymous identifier called User ID, set by Universal Google Analytics. User ID helps identify unique users across multiple devices and browsers. Clearing your cookies does not ensure that you will not be recognized as the same unique visitor even after you cleared them. Website visitors who do not want their data collected with Google Analytics in this way can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

If you are accessing this website from a country in the European Union, please note that our websites and the information contained in it are not provided for or directed to you.

We do not distribute personal information you have shared with us. However, we may share the information we collect about you in limited circumstances, including these:

  • With our authorized service providers (such as processing payment) who have agreed to keep the information confidential and use the information solely to carry out the services that they are performing for us;
  • As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, a court order, or government reporting obligations;
  • When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary (a) to protect our rights, the integrity of the website, or your safety or the safety of others, or (b) to detect, prevent, or respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violations of our Terms of Service, violations of law, or other misuse of the website; and
  • In connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale;

In addition, we may share de-identified information, such as reports on user demographics and traffic patterns, with third parties, including researchers and funders.

 

Where Information is Processed

How Your Information is Protected

We strive to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to safeguard the information collected through the website. However, no information system can ever be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to the website over networks that we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks. If you have concerns about the security of sensitive information, do not send it electronically.

 

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Should we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete that information from our database.

Each browser is different, so you should check your browser’s “Help” menu to learn how to change your cookie preferences. If you reject or block cookies from the website, however, the website may not function as intended.

In addition to the records left on your computer by cookies, your browser and operating system contain other records of your web browsing and other actions (e.g., browser history). As with cookies, you can find information about how to clear these history trails in your browser’s “Help” menu.
