Clickthroughs
In the process of delivering web pages and email, The Foundation for Global Humanity recognizes any URLs that are clicked and may record some information supplied by your computer, such as the type of browser, operating system and IP address.
Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data, optionally stored on a visitor's hard drive, containing information that is placed there by a website. This information is often used to identify successive visits by the same web browser to the same site, or to remember information between sessions on the website. The Foundation for Global Humanity uses a login cookie if you register. Once you are registered, when you login to the website we will save an encrypted version of your login information as a cookie on your computer. This will allow you or anyone using your computer to bypass the login process on subsequent visits.
Log Files
We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer our service, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Trackers
Trackers are invisible codes on web pages or in email that have special names which permit the loading of the web page or email to be tracked by a web server. The Foundation for Global Humanity uses trackers on our web site and in HTML email we send to detect when a web page is viewed or the email is opened.
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners. Shared aggregated information is not linked to any information about any individual person.

Forms and Surveys
From time to time we may request information from users via forms or surveys. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and email address), and demographic information (such as zip code and profession). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving this site and our services. Users of our website are notified on the website when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party.

This website (www.foundationforglobalhumanity.org) does not collect highly sensitive information (such as credit card numbers or Social Security numbers) from our users. If you receive email requesting any such information, please report it immediately to webmaster@f4gh.org.
Notification of Changes
If we materially change our privacy policy, we will post a notice on our web site's homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify registered users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
