Internet Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting bigbendcares.org. Your privacy is very important to us. Simply stated, our policy is to collect no personal information about you when you visit any Big Bend Cares Web pages.

When you visit the Big Bend Cares Web server, it automatically recognizes only the Internet domain and IP address from which you accessed the site. This information does not result in the identification of your personal e-mail address or other personal information.

In addition, information is only gathered regarding the volume and timing of access to the site by collecting information on the date, time and pages that you visited while at the site. This is done so that the content of the site can be improved. This information is not shared with other organizations. Again, only aggregate information is collected, and your personal information is not identified.

If you choose to share personal information with Big Bend Cares, for example, by sending us e-mail, your personal information will not be disclosed to third parties or government agencies unless required by state or federal law.

Certain features on bigbendcares.org require the use of cookies for functionality. Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make the Web more useful by storing information about your preferences on a particular site. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and many major Web sites use them to provide interactive features for their visitors. Cookies, in and of themselves, do not personally identify users, although they do identify users' computers when they visit a Web site that uses them. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies; however, you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features on bigbendcares.org if you do so.

The Big Bend Cares Internet Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time. In the interests of keeping you informed, all changes to our Internet Privacy Policy will be noted on our Updates page.
