The Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation wants you to know what information we collect from you when you visit this site, what we do with that information, and how you can change the information we have. Your use of our internet site (this “Site”) indicates your acceptance of this Privacy Policy, which may be revised at any time.
What Information Is Collected
When you visit our Site, we recognize only your domain name and not your e-mail address. The only way we can get your email address is when you give it to us by filling out a form or send us an e-mail message. We may also collect information about you if you register on a page, fill out a survey, place an order, upload content, post blog entries or comments, participate in our contests or if you otherwise voluntarily tell us about yourself or your activities. We collect Internet-related information from visitors to our Site, including the referring URL, your IP address, which browser you used to come to this Site, the country, state or province, the pages of our Site that you viewed during your visit and any search terms you entered on our Site, for the purposes of system administration, to gather broad demographic information, and to monitor the level of Site activity. We track customers’ traffic patterns throughout their online sessions, including which pages or specific URLs a customer views while using the Site. We use your Internet-related Information to diagnose problems with our servers and software and administer our Site.
How Information Is Used
When you provide information about yourself, we use it to improve our products and services and the content of this Site. We may also use it to complete purchase or other transactions or to send you information about our products and services. For details on how to opt out of receiving information, please see the Choice/Opt-out/Opt-in section of this Privacy Policy, below. When you use interactive features like our blogs (posting entries or submitting comments), or submit user content, please keep in mind that these features are inherently interactive. Information and materials you submit will be publicly available, thus if you include in your submission personally identifiable information (using your full name in the “name” field of a blog comment, for example), that information will become available to the general public on the Site. We may create aggregate information from records that contain personal information, and may include in those records information you have provided to us, or information we have obtained from third parties. We may use aggregate information for our legitimate business purposes.

When you visit our Site again, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your preferences. We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return visits to our Site; accumulate and report aggregate, statistical information on website usage; deliver specific content to you based on your interests or viewing history; save your password for ease of access to our Site.

Sharing Information
We employ other companies to perform certain functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, processing donations, and services related to the design, maintenance and improvement of this Site, our database and related systems. Regardless of whether you have provided us with consent, we will share your information with those companies that perform certain functions on our behalf under contract to us, as well as in the following other situations. We may also need to disclose personal information if required by law; when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding; to respond to a court order or legal process served on us; or when necessary to protect the rights, safety or property of users of this Site, the public or Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation.

This Site is not designed for, nor do we believe it is appealing to, children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Parents, to learn more about how to protect your children online, visit http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/tech/tec08.shtm.
Links
This Site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to use here at Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation.
Security
We use reasonable efforts to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the Site, we use reasonable efforts to protect our users’ information both online and off-line. When our donation form asks users to enter credit card numbers, that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software. While on a secure page the lock icon on the bottom or top of most browsers becomes locked.
When we use software to protect your information online, we also use reasonable efforts to protect your information off-line. Access to our users’ information is restricted to employees of our company and its affiliates and agencies who need the information to perform a specific job (such as billing or shipping).
Although we have taken steps to ensure that your personal information is not collected, used, or disclosed except as set forth by this Privacy Policy, technical mistakes are possible. We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of electronically stored sensitive personal data via email or by conspicuous posting on the Website as soon as possible to the extent consistent with (a) the legitimate needs of law enforcement and (b) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
Information Storage and Transfer
Your personal information will be kept in a database held on servers kept in a physically and technologically secure environment located in North Palm Beach, Florida (or may be retained at the relevant service providers’ locations), accessed only by authorized personnel or contractors who are bound to keep your information confidential. We have in place procedures for training our employees about their obligations under this Privacy Policy, disciplining them for failure to follow this Policy. We also have in place internal procedures to confirm general company compliance with this Policy.
Your information will be transferred to Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, North Palm Beach, Florida, United States of America, which location may be outside of your own country, and by providing us with your information, you are consenting to such transfer.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have used our contact or donation forms, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Notification of Changes
We reserve the right to change or update this policy at any time by posting a notice to that effect on this Site and other places where we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected. However, if we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the Site, or deleted their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Site notifying users of the change. In some cases, where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices. Your continued use of this Site constitutes your consent to these changes.
