THE WIRELESS FOUNDATION’S WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. Since we may collect certain types of information from users of this Website, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding how that information is used. This privacy statement details what information we collect and how we use it. Amendments to this privacy statement will be posted at this URL and will be effective when posted. We will post a notice at the homepage of the Website if such amendments are a material change to this privacy policy. Your continued use of this site following the posting of any amendment, modification or change shall constitute your acceptance thereof.
Information Collected
We collect non-personally identifiable information about you in a number of ways, including tracking your activities through your IP address, computer settings or most-recently visited URL. We may also ask you to provide certain non-personally identifiable information about yourself, such as your age, household income, your profession, buying preferences, etc. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to the Foundation’s Website by, for example, filling out a survey or registration form. The types of information that may be requested include your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
Use of Information
We may use the information to tell you about the Foundation’s services that we feel may be of interest to you. Personally identifiable information may be used to contact you again either by online electronic communication (such as e-mail), or by regular mail or telephone. You may opt-out of receiving information or communication from the Foundation by e-mailing foundation@ctia.org.
Non-personal demographic and profile data is used to tailor your experience at the Foundation’s Website, showing you content we think you might be interested in. This information may also be shared with advertisers on an aggregate, non-personal basis. When the Foundation shares such information with advertisers, it is not traceable to any particular user and will not be used to contact you again.
With respect to the use of information voluntarily provided by you at the Foundation’s Wireless AMBER Alerts Website, please see the Wireless AMBER Alerts Website Privacy Policy at https://www.wirelessamberalerts.org/help/TermsAndConditions.htm.
Use of IP Addresses
We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the Foundation’s Website.
Use of Cookies
When you view the Foundation’s Website we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "cookie" or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on the Foundation’s Website. Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you navigate a website as easily as possible. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. Cookies can allow the Foundation’s Website to remember you when you return so you do not have to enter your registration data at each connection.
Security
The Foundation’s Website uses industry standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, the Wireless Foundation will take reasonable steps to protect the safety of your personal information.
Other Websites and Links
From time to time, the Foundation’s Website may contain links to other websites. Except for the Wireless AMBER Alerts Website, the Wireless Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.
