It

most of the information available on the site. The Center may, at
times, ask users of the site to provide personally identifiable
information in order to access certain parts of the web site or to
obtain a response to specific questions that a user may have. Other
instances when personally identifiable information is requested include
on-line registration for events and on-line inquiries (including
requests to be added to our mailing list).
The
Center does not collect personally identifiable information from you
unless you provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. The Center makes
use of “cookies” to expedite the log-in process for our users.
You
may amend your personally identifiable information or change the
purpose for which it was sent to us (e.g., cancel your subscription to
our newsletter) at any time. If you make a donation in memory or honor
of another individual, the same policy applies to that individual’s
personally identifiable information.
Users
may update, correct, or change their profiles by sending an e-mail to
info@kenchild.org . Users may change this information at any time and
as often as necessary.
In
addition to the information provided to us by our visitors, we use
standard internet tracking tools that collect general information about
the traffic to our site. This information helps the Center improve the
quality of its website. Such information is not linked to individual
visitors.
If you
choose to provide personal information, the Center may enter that
information into a database in order to contact you with information
about news, events and services. In addition, the Center reserves the
right to use your personal information in other ways that are legally
permissible. The Center may also use your IP address to help diagnose
problems with its server, and to otherwise administer the site.
The
Center does not sell, rent, share or disclose your personally
identifiable information with or to other organizations. It will also
take reasonable steps to prevent the accidental disclosure of this
information. But it may, however, disclose such information as is it

personally identifiable information under its control against loss,
misuse, alteration or destruction. It also takes care to secure any
credit card information off-line. Only those persons explicitly
authorized by the Center are provided access to personally identifiable
information. Those so authorized are expected to treat this information
as confidential.
However,
the Center makes no warranty, guarantee or representation that the use
of our web site is protected from all viruses, security threats or
other vulnerabilities and that your information will always be secure.
Because
much of the Center’s web site is information-driven, it provides links
to other web sites that contain information and resources which
visitors may find useful. These sites operate independently of the
Kennedy Child Study Center and have established their own privacy and
security practices. You are encouraged to independently review the
privacy policy of any site you visit.
