What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our blog, website or app?
You usually can visit our sites without submitting any information about yourself. However, in some instances, like filling out an online form, you maybe asked to enter personal information such as your name, phone number, mailing address and email address. We do not share this information with any other partners, affiliates, or with any outside organization. We may use the information we collect from you when you register, make a donation, sign up for a newsletter, respond to a survey or marketing communication, fill out a job application, or browse the website to better understand your needs and provide you with better services. Additionally, some non-personal information may be collected, including information about the browser you are using and the pages you visit on the site, unless you opt out of such tracking using your browser’s settings.

Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and California Online Privacy Protection Act
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13,the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under 13.CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

CAN-SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:
Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

- To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM we agree to the following:
