The Waitt Institute for Discovery respects our visitors’ right
to privacy online. We hold your information in confidence.
Asking for your Information
We will sometimes ask you for personal information such as your
name, address, e-mail and other details. By providing your information
to us, we can deliver the most relevant information to you only
when you have requested to hear about it.
When we ask for personal information for any reason, we will provide
a link to this policy statement to make our intentions clear.
Personal Privacy Information
The Waitt Institute for Discovery will take all appropriate
steps to keep your personal information confidential. Those
steps include limiting access to visitor information databases,
communicating
this policy statement to all Institute employees and establishing
and enforcing penalties for violating this statement.
The Institute will not sell, rent, or give away our visitors' personal
information to others for use in selling products or services. We
will vigorously enforce all privacy agreements we have with other
organizations.
We gather personal information from visitors to our site so we
can better develop our relationship with those visitors and pursue
our Institute's mission more effectively. Occasionally, we seek
comments on our public programs. These comments allow us to determine
which programs members of the public should be made aware of based
on their specific needs.
We may communicate with visitors via e-mail or other online
delivery devices only if the visitor agrees to receive those
communications.
Members of the public, who believe they are receiving our communications
in error or no longer desire to receive them, should inform
us and we will remove those clients' names from our mailing lists.
The
Waitt Institute for Discovery will be judicious in
the use of e-mail and paper mail to communicate with members
of the
public. We will, at all times, put ourselves in the place of
the recipients of our mail and treat recipients as we ourselves
would
like to be treated.
The Institute may team with others to provide our visitors with
enhanced Internet services. In providing such services, our partners
also may request personal information from our clients. We prohibit
these partners from selling or giving away our visitor information
and we require them to have a posted Privacy Policy, so that visitors
may review it before providing personal information to our partners.
In addition, we may provide links to sites that operate under different
privacy practices. We encourage our visitors to review the privacy
policies of such sites before providing any personal information.
Although we cannot control the use of information provided to such
third parties, we will try to link only to those sites that have
suitable privacy policies.
Security
To protect your personal information, we store your information
in a secure area. Access to such information is strictly monitored.
