Introduction:
This website is designed to make it easier and more efficient for
individuals and businesses to interact with the WYCF. This privacy
describes what information is collected in the process of interactions
and how that information is used. As this privacy policy only applies
to this Foundation, you may wish to examine the privacy policies
of any website that you access via this site.
For the purpose
of this policy, “personal information means any information
concerning a natural person, as opposed to a corporate entity,
which because name, number, symbol, mark, or other identifier,
can be used to identify that natural person. The WYCF only collects
personal information about a user that is provided when an email
is sent or an online transaction, like a registration, or information
request form is initiated.
Information
Collected When Emailed or Through Online Transactions:
When an email is sent to the WYCF, the email address and contents
of the message will be collected. This information will be used
to respond to the email, improve this site, or forwarded to appropriate
authority for response. Email addresses are not collected for
commercial purposes and WYCF is not authorized to sell or otherwise
disclose email addresses for commercial purposes.
When a transaction
such as registration or information request is initiated, the
information volunteered, including personal information, will
be used to operate WYCF programs, including provision of services
and information. The information collected by the WYCF may be
disclosed by the WYCF for those purposed that may be reasonably
ascertained from the nature and terms of the transaction in connection
with which the information was submitted.

not knowingly collect personal information from children or create
profiles of children through this website. Users are cautioned,
however, that the collection of personal information submitted
in an email or though an online transaction will be treated as
thought it was submitted by an adult, and may, unless exempted

The WYCF strongly encourages parents and teachers to be involved
in children’s Internet activities and to provide guidance
whenever children are asked to provide personal information online.

and Choice:
As the WYCF does not collect personal information about users

email or initiating an online transaction, like registration or
information request, users may choose not to send an email, or
complete an information request form. While it is the prerogative
of the user to do so, choosing not to participate in these activities
may limit his/her ability to receive specific services through
this website. However, it would not affect his/her ability to
request services from WYCF by other means, and will not normally
impact taking advantage of other features of the website, including

federal statute or regulation; (2) made pursuant to a court order
