The Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies and EDC respects your privacy. Any personal information that you provide to EDC or any programs and projects of EDC through its Web sites will be used and safeguarded as described below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at www@edc.org.
1. Resale or disclosure of information to third parties
Some EDC Web sites maintain mailing list databases of personally identifiable
information that users voluntarily supply (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, phone
numbers, street addresses, and areas of interest). This information is used
to inform those who have opted to receive news and information about our organization's
events or to pre-populate forms with your information.
EDC does not sell, rent, or lease any personal information collected through our sites. On occasion, we may share personal information with other organizations that have missions and activities similar to ours. A specific EDC project or program also may share personal information with other programs of EDC or with affiliated organizations.
If you do not want EDC to share your personal information, you can opt out by contacting us at www@edc.org. To change your personal information in our database, please e-mail us at www@edc.org.
2. Use of "cookies"
Some EDC Web sites may use a feature called a "cookie" to assign a
unique identification to your computer when you log in to the site. Cookies
allow the Web site to recognize you as logged in. When you visit an EDC Web
site, EDC may record information about your User ID, browser, and IP address
in its Web site logs. EDC analyzes its Web site logs to constantly improve the
value of the materials available on our sites. Any information collected is
used to identify problems or improve our services and Web site content. EDC
will not use "cookies" to retrieve personal information about you
from your computer.
Some of our sites have Mail List archives associated with Majordomo, Webboard, or Lotus Notes lists that you may join. While most of EDC's lists are limited to subscribers, we cannot control the behavior of subscribers to these lists and they may collect, copy, or distribute names of people who post messages or the contents even if the guidelines for participation in a particular list explicitly prohibits it. EDC cannot and does not warrant that information you post to any of its mail lists, message boards, online discussion services, or online course and seminar services will not be copied or distributed by other subscribers/participants.
3. Information from e-mail
If you choose to e-mail us and provide personally identifiable information about
yourself, we will not use the information for any purpose other than to respond
to your inquiry.
4. Surveys, forms and online questionnaires
Some EDC Web sites or mail lists may post, either permanently or at various
intervals, surveys used to collect information for evaluation purposes. Unless
otherwise stated, this information is used to look at group trends, and there
is no identification of individual respondents.
Upon request we provide site visitors with access to all information, including proprietary information, that we maintain about them. Users can access this information by e-mailing us at www@edc.org.
If you feel that this site is not following its stated information policy, you may contact us at www@edc.org.
