The Child Disability Connection Privacy Policy

Print

Your privacy on the Internet is paramount to us. The Child Disability Connection wants to make your experience online satisfying. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses the information we gather and how it is used.

Information that The Child Disability Connection Gathers and Collects
The Child Disability Connection gathers the following information about users:

Resource Support Signup
We request a name, email address and other information before we allow the user to request registration or materials.

Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.

Usage tracking
The Child Disability Connection tracks user traffic patterns on the site. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. The Child Disability Connection sorts overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type, reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

Cookies
The Child Disability Connection does not use cookies.

Use of Information
The Child Disability Connection uses information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience on our website, or to provide them with services. This information is also used to provide interactive or personalized elements on the site or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, we do gather email addresses from our users. This information is only used to communicate to the user their password for accessing our resources. The Child Disability Connection never shares newsletter mailing lists or individual email addresses with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us build a better service for you.

The Child Disability Connection creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, we will not disclose information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

SECURITY
The Child Disability Connection operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.
