Privacy Policy We at CHBWV.com are committed to
protecting the privacy and security of your visits to this website. Outlined
below is our online privacy policy. If you have questions about this policy,
please let us know. Collection and disclosure of
information: To ensure we are able to communicate effectively with visitors
to our website, we collect some information that can be directly associated
with a specific person. We call this "Personal Information", and it
includes, by way of illustration, names, addresses, telephone numbers and
email addresses. To ensure we are able to communicate
effectively with visitors to our website who affirmatively request
information, we collect some information that can be directly associated with
a specific person. It is our general policy not to make
Personal Information available to anyone other than our employees, staff, and
agents. Online comments and Personal
Information: We treat your name, city, state, and any comments you provide us as public information. We may, for example, provide
compilations of your comments to national leaders and other individuals
participating in our efforts, without disclosing email addresses. We may also
make comments along with your city and state available to the press and
public online. Browser information collected on the
website: We log IP
addresses, which are the locations of computers or networks on the Internet
and analyze them in order to improve the value of our site. We also collect
aggregate numbers of page hits in order to track the popularity of certain
pages and improve the value of our site. We do not gather, request, record,
require, collect, or track any Internet users' Personal Information through
these processes. Cookies: A cookie is a tiny piece of data stored
by a user's browser that helps a website or service recognize that user's
unique computer. You can remove or block cookies by changing the settings of
your browser. Session specific cookies may be used on Hanford.gov to improve
the user experience and for basic web metrics. These cookies expire in a very
short time frame or when a browser window closes and are permitted by current
federal guidelines. Privacy of our email lists: As noted above, we maintain email lists
to keep interested, eligible individuals informed about important topics, and
individuals must affirmatively request to join them. We configure our list
server software to refuse to divulge the email addresses of our list
subscribers to anyone other than those whom we authorize. However, we are not
the author of this software, and are not responsible
for any failures in the software to preserve subscriber anonymity. Children's privacy: Because we care about the safety and
privacy of children online, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulation
establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children
using the Internet. We do not knowingly contact or collect personal
information from children under 13. Our site is not intended to solicit
information of any kind from children under 13. It is possible that by fraud or
deception we may receive information pertaining to children under 13. If we
are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will
immediately obtain parental consent or otherwise delete the information from
our servers. If you want to notify us of our receipt of information by
children under 13, please contact us. Security: We maintain a variety of physical,
electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information.
For example, we use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect
against unauthorized access to our systems. Also, we restrict access to
Personal Information to those who need such access in the course of their
duties for us. Your own efforts to protect against unauthorized access play
an important role in protecting the security of your personal information.
You should be sure to sign off when finished using a
shared computer, and always log out of any site when
viewing personal information. We may have links to other, outside websites
that we do not control. We are not responsible for the content or privacy
policies of these sites, and users should check those policies on such sites. Changes to this policy: We will revise or update this policy if
our practices change, or as we develop
better ways to keep you informed about them. You should refer back to this
page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes.
If we decide to change this policy, we will post a new policy on our site and
change the date at the bottom. Changes to the policy shall not apply
retroactively. If you have any questions or concerns,
please contact us. |
