Delaware Youth : About Us : Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Commitment to Privacy
We are committed to
protecting the privacy of your personal information. To better protect your
privacy, we provide this Privacy Policy explaining our online and offline
information practices and the choices you can make about the way your
information is collected and used. If you have any questions about this Privacy
Policy, please email us at info@DelawareYouth.com
or contact Delaware Youth, , Wilmington, DE 19702, (302)
.
The Information We
Collect
This Privacy Policy
applies to information collected by or submitted to Delaware Youth, a
nonprofit organization, through the website. The website provides information
about Delaware Youth and allows users to begin the grant application process
online. The information collected on the website falls into two generic
categories: (1) information voluntarily submitted; and (2) information gathered
via electronic means.
Information
Voluntarily Submitted
Delaware Youth only
gathers "personally identifiable information" (information that
relates to an identified individual) if you voluntarily submit such information
to us through registration forms, feedback forms and profile update forms. The
types of personally identifiable information voluntarily submitted on our
website include your name, title, department, address, city, state/province,
zip/postal code, country, phone and fax numbers, email addresses, and URLs. You
can always choose not to provide personally identifiable information, but if
you do not provide such information, you may not be able to take advantage of
the features of Delaware Youth website (i.e., receipt of information from the
Delaware Youth). We use your personally identifiable information in the following
ways:
· To supply news
and information regarding Delaware Youth and the research programs it
sponsors.
· To respond to
your questions or comments sent to us via email or postal mail.
· To introduce a
service that we think might be of interest to you.
· To comply with
any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court
order and to counter any attempted breach of security of our website, or a
physical threat to you or others.
Delaware Youth will not
rent, sell or lease personally identifiable information to any third party
unless we have received your permission.
Information Gathered
via Electronic Means
Delaware Youth also
collects "non-personally identifiable information" (information that
does not identify a specific individual) through the use of Internet Protocol
tracking, log files and/or cookie technology.
· We register your
Internet Protocol address when you visit the website to help diagnose possible
technical problems and to administer Web website quality. We do not use
Internet Protocol addresses or clickstream data to personally identify users.
· Log files (files
listing every request made to the server) are used to statistically determine
which areas of our website users prefer and to better prepare future site content
based on the interests of our users. We do not track the usage patterns of
individual users, but rather the overall performance of each page on the site.
· In some parts of
the website we use cookies, which are bits of information that are stored on
your computer when you visit a site. Cookies allow the website site to
recognize you and, among other things, load your page more quickly. If you find
this objectionable, you can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you
when cookies are being sent.
Links To Other Sites
Our website contains
links to other websites. Please note that when you click on one of these links,
you are moving to another website. We encourage you to read the privacy
statements of these linked sites as their privacy policies may differ from
ours.
Security Policy
Protecting your privacy
and your information is our top priority. We have established physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard our physical premises and to
protect against the loss, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or unauthorized
access of personal information both online and offline. Only those employees of
Delaware Youth and/or our business partners who need the information to
perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable
information. While we take reasonable efforts to ensure the security of
information, there is no guarantee that any data transmitted over the Internet
or stored via our website is 100 percent secure; this is the case for any users
of and service providers on the Internet.
Accessing and Updating
Information
Delaware Youth strives
to maintain the accuracy of user records and only collects personal information
that is relevant for the purposes for which it is used. If you have any
questions about what information we currently hold about you or your
organization or would like to make updates or changes, please contact us at info@DelawareYouth.com.
Choice/Opt-Out
Delaware Youth will not
use or share your personally identifiable information in ways unrelated to the
ones described in this Privacy Policy without first letting you know and
offering you a choice. If at any time you would like to stop receiving
information from Delaware Youth, you may send an email stating your decision
to info@DelawareYouth.com.
Our Commitment to
Children’s Privacy
Protecting children on
the Internet is very important. For that reason, Delaware Youth does not
intentionally collect information at our website from those Delaware Youth
actually knows are under 13, and no parts of our website are structured to
attract anyone under 13.
Assignments

Policy to a third party. You agree that Delaware Youth may do so, on the

Privacy Policy and allow you to remove your name from its database.

Privacy Policy

the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time to clarify or
improve our policy. Changes will be posted to the website and the "Last
