About the Information We Collect

The data and information we collect through our web site is used only to help us achieve our mission. It is our policy to collect and store only personal information that our clients knowingly provide.

From Casual Web Site Visitors and General Users

We do not collect any personal information from users browsing our web site. When you use the public areas of our web site you are doing so anonymously. We do collect aggregate use information, such as the number of visits per page. We use aggregate data for internal and marketing purposes, but we don’t collect any personally identifying information.

From Our Clients, Donors and Other Customers

If while visiting our web site you register for an event, submit a question, or request other information, you will be asked to provide certain information. In all cases this information is submitted voluntarily. In most cases, we ask clients to provide their name, title, organization name, address, telephone, and e-mail. If you’re making a donation, you will be asked for credit card information in order to complete your purchase. Similar information may be submitted to us on an order form or registration form.

If you are a client, there are additional provisions to protect your privacy.

Customer Lists

Our client list is not for sale. When you visit our web site, become a donor or become a client, your name and mailing information will not be sold to a commercial organization. We may from time to time send you information that we believe to be of interest to you as a visitor who has provided contact information. You are always free to tell us to discontinue sending you information in that way.

Credit Card Account Information

We utilize an outside 3rd party with respect to credit card donations. The vendor is responsible for ensuring secure transaction methods when collecting credit card information and the vendor submits to the appropriate clearinghouse in order to obtain payment. Neither the vendor nor the Village for Families and Children retains any credit card information once your online donation has been processed.
