The National Center for Families Learning (herein known as “NCFL") is committed to honoring the privacy of the users of the www.familytrails.com Web site. 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.

PASSIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION

As you navigate through a Web site, certain anonymous information (i.e., that does not personally identify you) can be collected without you actively providing the information. This information includes the type of browser you use, what pages on the site you view and similar technical data. Some of this anonymous data is collected through cookies. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this site might not work without cookies.

We may use your anonymous information to customize the site based on your preferences and compile analytics of our website users. At no time, however, does the data we use link back to your personal information. Our data gathering is anonymous in this regard.

SECURITY PRECAUTIONS

This site takes reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information as you transmit it 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 completely 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, or other special access features on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.

When we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information such as financial or personal information, we redirect visitors to a secure server using SSL encryption. Pages that are protected with SSL encryption will have a URL which begins with “https://“ rather than “http://“ to indicate a secure server environment.
