POLICY
COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by Lift Up World Foundation
Corporation. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost
importance to us. At Lift Up World Foundation Corporation, we
want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our
users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and
conditions surrounding the capture and use of that
information. This privacy statement discloses what information
we gather and how we use it.
Definition of the Information Lift Up World Foundation
Corporation gathers and keeps track of.
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation gathers two types of
information about users:
-Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our
electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards
or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls
and surveys:
-Information Lift Up World Foundation Corporation gathers
through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by
tallying page views throughout our sites. This information
allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and
to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the
demographics of our audience. Because Lift Up World Foundation
Corporation derives its revenue mainly from sponsorships and
advertising, providing such aggregated demographic data is
essential to keeping our service free to users. Under no
circumstances does Lift Up World Foundation Corporation
divulge any information about an individual user to a third
party.
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation Gathers User Information
In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type
of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Lift Up
World Foundation Corporation gathers the email addresses of
users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves
from this mailing list by following the link provided in every
newsletter that points users to the subscription management
page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time
of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register
separately for these services (both are free of charge) in
order to post messages, although they needn't register to
visit the site. During registration the user is required to
supply a username, password, and email address.
3. "Tell A Friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically recommend the
website by clicking "tell a friend". The user must provide
their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This
information is used only in the case of transmission errors
and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email.
The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily
share their opinions with other users and see what our
audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other
responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to
any particular user. Lift Up World Foundation Corporation may
use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can
vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not
correlated with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation may occasionally conduct
user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We
sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in
these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We
never share any of this information about specific individuals
with any third party.
CHILDREN
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly
request personally identifiable information from anyone under
the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
USAGE TRACKING
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation tracks user traffic
patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not
correlate this information with data about individual users.
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation does break down overall
usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser
type, and MIME type by reading this information from the
browser string (information contained in every user's
browser).
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser
files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain
Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your
use of this site to information that you have specifically and
knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't
read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by
other sites. Lift Up World Foundation Corporation uses cookies
to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our
advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track
ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If
you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies,
you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do
not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However,
you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards,
forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation uses any information
voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in
our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or
personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future
content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily
provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to
enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards,
and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a
regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and
occasionally send out special editions when we think
subscribers might be particularly interested in something we
are doing. Lift Up World Foundation Corporation never shares
newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including
advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of
our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those
areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather
how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to
build a better service for you. We track search terms entered
in Search function as one of many measures of what interests
our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user
enters.
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation creates aggregate reports
on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers,
sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to
advertise more effectively, and allows our users to receive
advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because we
don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an
advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user
clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about
any individual user except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our
users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation uses the above-described
information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help
our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics.
This is essential to keeping our service free. We will not
share information about individual users with any third party,
except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or
to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Lift Up World Foundation Corporation operates secure data
networks protected by industry standard firewall and password
protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are
periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only
authorized individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such
choices include:
· Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
· Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas,
which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally
identifiable information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of
this information by Lift Up World Foundation Corporation. If
we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on this page so that you are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances we disclose it.
