However, in order to have access to certain products and services available on or through the Friends of Art Works for Kids website or to inquire about or apply for employment, you may be required to complete a registration or application form and provide other information reasonably necessary to provide the products and/or services for you or to answer your inquiry about or process your application for employment. Some examples of the information we may need to collect in a registration or application form are:

C. Cookies
We also collect anonymous, non-confidential, and non-personal information when you use our site, send us e-mails, or inquire about or apply for employment. For example, cookies are small computer files that we transfer to your computer's hard drive that allow us to know how often someone visits a site and the activities they conduct while on that site (such as the chat rooms you visited, whether you submitted orders for services or products, whether you inquired about or applied for employment, etc.). Every computer is assigned a different cookie by Friends of Art Works for Kids. The information collected by cookies helps us dynamically generate advertising and content on web pages or in e-mails specifically designed for you and also allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our site and selected affiliated business partners sites, or are opening our e-mails. We may use cookie information to target certain advertisements or announcements to your browser or to determine the popularity of certain content or advertisements. It may be possible to link non-personal cookie information to Personal Information collected.

D. Web Beacons
In limited circumstances we also may use "web beacons" to collect anonymous, non-personal information about your use of our website and the sites of selected affiliated partners, and your use of e-mails, special promotions or announcements we may send to you from time to time. Web beacons are tiny graphic image files imbedded in a web page or e-mail that provide a presence on the web page or e-mail and send back to its home server information from the Users' browser. The information collected by web beacons allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our site and selected affiliated business partners sites, or are opening our e-mails, and for what purposes. It may be possible to link non-personal web beacon information to Personal Information collected.

E. E-mails and Announcements
As noted in the discussions of cookies and web beacons (see above), we collect anonymous, non-personal information about your use of e-mails and announcements that we may send to you from time to time. In some cases, when you click on a link or an advertisement or an announcement in an e-mail or announcement, your browser may be momentarily directed to the site of a third party which, acting on Friends of Art Works for Kids’ behalf (see Disclosure to Website Service and Content Contractors, below), notes or "counts" your response to the e-mail or announcement before re-directing your browser to its proper destination. This re-direction process will not be apparent to you.

F. Information Collected by Third Parties Not Acting on Friends of Art Works for Kids’ Behalf.
Sponsors, business partners, or advertisers on or through the Friends of Art Works for Kids site or in e-mails or announcements we may send to you from time to time may also use their own cookies or web beacons when you click on their advertisement or link to their site or service, or even if the advertisement simply appears on a page or in an e-mail that you are viewing. Some advertisers use companies other than Friends of Art Works for Kids to serve their ads and to monitor users' responses to ads, and these companies ("Ad Servers") may also collect non-personal information through the use of cookies or web beacons on our website. In certain situations, information collection may be facilitated by momentarily directing your browser to the site of an Ad Server or other third party acting on behalf of the sponsor, business partner, or advertiser before re-directing your browser to its proper destination (e.g., back to Friends of Art Works for Kids to show the ad, or to the advertiser's website); this re-direction process will not be apparent to you.

We do not control these third parties' use of cookies or web beacons, or how they manage the non-personal information they gather through them. However, we do require sponsors, advertisers and Ad Servers who collect cookie or web beacon information through our website to agree that they will not collect any Personal Information from our site without your consent. They have promised us they will not link any non-personal cookie or web beacon information collected by them on our site to Personal Information they or others collect in other ways or from other sites. However, you should review the privacy policy of other sites you visit or link to from our site to understand how these other sites use cookies and how they use the information they collect through the use of cookies or web beacons on their own sites.

G. Public Forums
This Privacy Policy does not protect you when you use the Friends of Art Works for Kids’ public forums if and when they become available. As a service to our users, Friends of Art Works for Kids may feature chat rooms and bulletin boards where users can share information and support one another or where users can post questions for other users to answer. You should be aware that any information shared in a chat room, bulletin board, or other type of posting is public information and may be seen, disclosed to or collected by third parties that do not adhere to our Privacy Policy. You should think carefully before disclosing any personal information in any public forum.

We try to answer every e-mail in a timely manner, but are not always able to do so.

II. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION.

You can only access these co-branded content and products and/or services through the Channel Partner Website. The co-branded Friends of Art Works for Kids pages that you may access through a Channel Partner Website have different registration processes and opportunities for information collection, and Personal Information that you provide on these pages may be shared with the Channel Partners. Each of these sites has its own privacy policy posted on that site. Therefore, if you visit one of these sites, please read the privacy policy that is posted on that site, as well as the individual privacy policy of the Channel Partner Website.

F. Disclosure to Linked Sites
In addition to the Third Party Contractor Websites that you may access as described above, for your convenience there may be links to websites operated by companies other than Friends of Art Works for Kids ("Third Party Websites") that are not contractors who provide content, products, and/or services through our website. These links may be found in advertisements, referenced within content, or placed beside the names or logos of sponsors or affiliated business partners of Friends of Art Works for Kids. Friends of Art Works for Kids does not disclose your Personal Information to these Third Party Websites without obtaining your consent. Friends of Art Works for Kids does not endorse and is not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites.

G. Disclosure of Aggregate Information
Friends of Art Works for Kids may provide to third parties non-personal information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted and that is combined with the non-personal information of other users ("Aggregate Information"). For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of users of our site and the activities they conduct while on our site. We might also inform a company that performs services or that provides products and/or services to Friends of Art Works for Kids (that may or may not be a Friends of Art Works for Kids business partner or an advertiser on our site) that "50% of our users live in the USA" or that "85% of our users have purchased products and/or services which can be downloaded from the Friends of Art Works for Kids website." Depending on the circumstances, we may or may not charge third parties for this Aggregate Information. We also may not limit the third parties' use of the Aggregate Information, except that we do require third parties to whom we disclose Aggregate Information to agree that they will not attempt to make this information personally identifiable by combining it with other databases or otherwise.

III. HOW FRIENDS OF ART WORKS FOR KIDS HANDLES PRIVACY AND SECURITY INTERNALLY.

Friends of Art Works for Kids wants your Personal Information to remain as secure as possible. That is why we have a two-tier security system at Friends of Art Works for Kids that combines leading technical safeguards and a code of conduct for those personnel who are permitted to access our customers' Personal Information. On the technical side, Friends of Art Works for Kids uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology in transmitting your Personal Information to our servers to help ensure the integrity and privacy of the Personal Information you provide to us via the Internet. Encryption involves systematically scrambling numbers and letters, so that even if someone managed to intercept the information, they would not be able to make sense of it. In order to take advantage of this encryption technology, you need to have an Internet browser that will support 128-bit encryption, such as Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. As an additional security measure, your Personal Information is also kept physically separate on a separate server where your password is encrypted and stored on a database. On the personnel side, except as provided otherwise by this Privacy Policy, only a limited number of Friends of Art Works for Kids personnel are authorized to access your Personal Information. All Friends of Art Works for Kids personnel must abide by our Privacy Policy and those who violate our Privacy Policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination from employment. Although we will make every reasonable effort to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet. There is also some risk that thieves could find a way to thwart our security systems.

IV. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

When you complete a registration or application form, you will be given the option of receiving recurring informational/announcement e-mails from Friends of Art Works for Kids and/or third parties. You may opt out of receiving e-mails from or on behalf of or through Friends of Art Works for Kids when you register or complete an application form by removing the automatic check mark from the statement that expresses a preference for receiving these e-mails and announcements. You may also opt out of receiving these e-mails and announcements at any time. When you have received an announcement you wish to stop, click on the "reply" button in your mail program, then type in the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the "Subject" field and send. Friends of Art Works for Kids Customer Service will unsubscribe you.

When you complete a registration or application form, you may also have the option of receiving e-mails or announcements from third parties, participating in research or marketing surveys and participating in other activities. You may exercise these options by placing a check mark beside a statement that expresses a preference for receiving these communications or participating in these activities. You may change your decision at any time by following the directions regarding how to unsubscribe from these e-mails or announcements.

This privacy statement applies only to Friends of Art Works for Kids’ website, and the corporate subsidiaries or entities affiliated with Friends of Art Works for Kids. Further, some corporate entities of the Friends of Art Works for Kids may have their own privacy policies and so those policies also apply to those particular websites. The Friends of Art Works for Kids website does contain links to other sites. Once you enter another website (whether through an advertisement, service, or content link), be aware that Friends of Art Works for Kids is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to look for and review the privacy statements of each and every website that you visit through a link or advertisement on the Friends of Art Works for Kids website or any site that collects Personal Information from you.

V. UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND CONTACTING FRIENDS OF ART WORKS FOR KIDS.

You can always contact us in order to (1) delete your Personal Information from our systems, (2) update the Personal Information that you have provided to us, and (3) change your preferences with respect to marketing contacts or other activities, by e-mailing us at info@artworksforkids.org and that department will forward your complaint to the appropriate internal department of Friends of Art Works for Kids for a response or resolution. We try to answer every e-mail in a timely manner but are not always able to do so.

You should be aware that it may not be technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to Friends of Art Works for Kids from our servers. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your Personal Information may exist in a non-erasable form that may be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Nevertheless, upon receiving your request, we will endeavor to delete all Personal Information stored in the databases we actively use for research and daily business activities, as well as other readily searchable media.

Privacy as it applies to the Internet is a dynamic, rapidly developing area. Therefore, in the future, we may make significant changes to our privacy policy affecting the use of the Personal Information you provide to us. Therefore, you need to ensure that you visit our website from time to time and read our Privacy Policy in effect to see if we have made any significant changes concerning our use of your Personal Information.

We may also make non-significant changes to our Privacy Policy that generally will not affect our use of your Personal Information and, therefore, you should also periodically check our posted Privacy Policy for any non-significant changes. Further, if you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy or any revised policy, you should exit the site immediately.
