| Privacy Policy
Welcome
Welcome to www.integra-foundation.org. This site is owned by Integra Foundation.
This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding
collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via
this site. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using
or submitting information to this site. This site is intended for use
by residents of the United States.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever
you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use,
and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
About Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not
knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age group. We
encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet
and the information they disclose to Web sites.
Active Information Collection
Like many Web sites, this site actively collects information from its
visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to
communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and/or chat rooms.
Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable
information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with
you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and
so on). Some areas of this site may require you to submit information
in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter
subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing) or to participate in a
particular activity (such as sweepstakes or other promotions). You will
be informed at each information collection point what information is required
and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively
collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information)
using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses,
cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site.
An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service
provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to
be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP
address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather
than static (unique to a particular user's computer). We use your IP address
to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine
the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site,
and administer and improve the site.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web
site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information
about you and your preferences.
Session cookies are temporary bits of information that
are erased once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise turn your
computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on Web sites
and to collect aggregate statistical information. This site uses session
cookies.
Persistent cookies are more permanent bits of information
that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless
you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer
for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have
previously provided (e.g., passwords), helping to determine what areas
of the Web site visitors find most valuable, and customizing the Web site
based on your preferences. This site uses persistent cookies.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel
GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies
and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser
type related to the visitor's computer. We do not use Internet tags at
this site.
"Navigational data" ("log files,"
"server logs," and "clickstream" data) are used for
system management, to improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site uses navigational
data.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the
content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate
information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research
purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to
this site, we may combine such information with other actively collected
information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection. We
will take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable information
from being combined with passively collected information, unless you consent
otherwise.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information
to other Integra Foundation affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it
in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose your
personally identifiable information to third parties, located in the United
States and/or any other country, but only
i. to contractors we use to support our business (e.g.,
fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and financial
institutions), in which case we will require such third parties to agree
to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy;
ii. in connection with the sale, assignment, or other
transfer of the business of this site to which the information relates,
in which case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance
with this Privacy Policy; or
iii. where required by applicable laws, court orders,
or government regulations. In addition, we will make full use of all information
acquired through this site that is not in personally identifiable form.
Access and Correction
To keep your personally identifiable information accurate, current, and
complete, please contact us as specified below. We will take reasonable
steps to update or correct personally identifiable information in our
possession that you have previously submitted via this site.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information
as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to
protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission
is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from
this site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care
in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where
you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on this
site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites. Please be
aware that we do not control other Web sites and that, in any case, this
Privacy Policy does not apply to those Web sites. We encourage you to
read the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.
Other Terms
Your use of this site is subject to the Terms of
Use.
