• The Internet domain (for example, “abccompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account, or “yourschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet) from which you access our website;
• The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
• The date and time of access to the site;
• The pages visited; and
• If linked to https://lewisandclarkinkentucky.org site from another site, the address of that site

We collect and store this information for security purposes and to improve our site. For example, we use this information to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology they use.

We do not link this information with personally identifiable data.

IF YOU SEND US PERSONAL INFORMATION

We are committed to ensuring your privacy is protected. All personal information is handled in accordance with United States privacy law.

If you choose to provide us with personal information, for example an email address, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We will only send you information using the data collected on our site when you request it. We may also use your personal data for other purposes where you have provided us with your consent to do so.

Where your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes described above, we will anonymise or delete such data.

DISCLOSURES TO THIRD PARTIES

We do not disclose your personal data to third parties, unless in connection with any legal proceedings or where required by law or court order. We may also disclose your data to a third party where we acquire or merge with a separate business.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Our site has links to other websites. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.

CHILDREN

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects the online privacy and personal information of children under 13. In compliance with this act, this site does not intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from individuals under 13 years of age. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 make known to us his or her personal data, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal data.

COOKIES

We do not send or make use of cookies on any public pages. A “cookie” is a small file on your computer which stores certain information about your online browsing. We use session cookies to track user’s acceptance of the Terms and Conditions and search parameters. Session cookies are not stored on your hard drive, and they expire when your browser is closed.
