Privacy Policy
Welcome
Welcome to www.CLCStamford.org. This
site is owned by Childcare Learning Centers Inc. 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
We will not knowingly collect information from site visitors who are children
under the age of 13. 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 and/or feedback forms. 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, donations). 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.
This site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. 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. This site uses Internet tags.
Tags have been placed both on online advertisements that bring people
to the site and on different pages of the site. These tags indicate
how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.
We do not collect or seek personally identifiable information through
these tags.
"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.
New subscribers to our mailing list must submit their names and
e-mail addresses. This is the minimum information needed to allow
us to properly manage the list. This information is not publicly
viewable and is not shared with third parties, other than in the
limited circumstances described below. We will not sell or license
your email address to third parties. You will be removed from our
list upon request.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to third
parties, located in the United States and/or any other country, but
only:
1. 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;
2. 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
3. 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 our Legal
Notice.
