TOBACCO-FREE KIDS ACTION FUND PRIVACY STATEMENT

The Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting the privacy of visitors to our websites and describe the information-gathering and dissemination practices for our websites.

Personal Information

We require certain personal information (such as name and email address) from donors so that we can process their contributions in compliance with applicable laws and are able to respond and otherwise communicate with them. We may share the provided personal information with companies we have contracted with to assist us with the operation of this website, but solely for website operation purposes. We will not provide any personal contact information to any other organization or individual, other than organizations working with the Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund on public health or tobacco control efforts, without the visitor’s express consent unless we are required by law or where we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process. . We may sometimes use visitors’ Internet Provider (IP) addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, and we use them, as necessary, to administer our websites.

Security

We strive to keep security measures in place to protect visitors against the loss, misuse, or alteration of any visitor information under our control. This includes the use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for processing donations and financial information.

The Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund’s Commitment to Children’s Privacy

The TFK Action Fund's mission is to help protect kids from tobacco, and we are equally committed to making children’s on-line experience with us as safe, constructive, and enjoyable as possible. We do NOT collect online contact information from children under the age of thirteen without taking steps to provide prior parental notification or obtain prior parental consent (in which we offer an opportunity for parents to prevent use of their children’s information or stop their participation in the activity). Unless we receive a communication providing prior parental consent, online information will be used only to respond directly to the child's request and not for other purposes.

More specifically, with regard to visitors under the age of thirteen our websites:

Do NOT collect personally identifiable offline contact information without prior parental notification;

Do NOT distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information without prior parental consent;

Do NOT give the ability to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information without prior parental consent;

Do NOT entice by the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity, to divulge more information than is needed to participate in the activity; Do ALLOW parents to review, change and/or delete their child's personal information given to the TFK Action Fund;

Do NOTIFY parents if we change the purpose for which we use a child's information (e.g. if we were to begin a chat room).

Unfortunately, given technological and resource limitations, it may be possible for some children under thirteen to evade our efforts to notify parents or obtain prior parental consent - especially if their parents do not supervise or monitor their Internet use at home.

We provide visitors submitting personal information the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us , and we also provide instructions in our email correspondence to website visitors who submit contact information on how to opt- out of receiving future correspondence.
