How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to support the internal functionality of our websites. Cookies, which are small pieces of information sent to your browser by a website that you visit, are used to track usage patterns, traffic trends, and user behavior, as well as to record other information from our websites. When you register on one of our websites, cookies also allow us to save information so that you will not have to re-enter it the next time you visit.
Many content adjustments and customer service improvements are made based on the data derived from cookies. Some of our websites use third-party vendors, such as Classy and Google Analytics, to place cookies and analyze the information collected by cookies in order to make the websites more interesting and useful to you. No personally identifiable information is collected.
Information that we collect from cookies will not be used to create profiles of individual users and will only be used in aggregate form. The data is retained for as long as necessary to support the mission of the websites. You may set your browser to refuse cookies from any website that you visit. If you so choose, you may still gain access to most of the websites, but you may not be able to conduct certain types of transactions or take advantage of some of the interactive elements offered. You may also opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Additionally, some websites may use the demographics and interest reporting feature for Google Analytics for display advertising. The data provided by this service (such as age, gender, and interests) is used to better understand visitors to our websites and customize our websites to our users’ interest. You may opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising by visiting Ad Settings.
How Your Information Is Protected
Personally identifiable information is stored on our server and is not publicly accessible. Further, personally identifiable information is only accessed by our employees on a “need to know” basis. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Personal Information.
We employ industry-standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We require that credit card processing be secured based on compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. We do not store any credit card numbers on our servers.
As appropriate and feasible, we monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to access, upload, or change information or otherwise cause damage. In addition to limiting access to Personal Information to those who have a business “need to know,” we require third-party vendors to contractually agree to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security of Personal Information.
