We refer to this information as “personal information.” CIFFI reserves the right to revise this privacy policy from time to time, and by using the CIFFI web site, you are agreeing to the terms of the then-current privacy policy.

 

How Information Is Collected:

When you register for or wish to utilize certain of our website services, we will ask you for information such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, certain demographic information and (if needed) credit card information. We need certain information in order to register you as a unique user and let you access personalized services. However, other requested information is optional and can be given at your discretion.

Like most websites, CIFFI uses “cookies.” A “cookie” is a text file, invoked by standard browser software, that we place on your hard drive to enable our systems to, among other things, recognize your browser, track transactions, and allow you to navigate our website without having to re-enter information. The information gathered by cookies is not made available to organizations. We may also automatically receive and store certain other types of information, such as the type of web browser you use or the pages you follow links to from the CIFFI web site.

We may occasionally make personal information available to select other organizations, including but not limited to, non-profit arts organizations, affiliated organizations, agents working on our behalf, companies or organizations with whom we have a contractual or sponsor relationship, or in connection with an asset transfer. We may also provide aggregated data to these and other organizations. Although we may make reasonable inquiries to determine that such other organizations maintain website privacy policies comparable to ours, we are not responsible for the enforcement of such policies.

 

Certain of our programs use personal information to send updates and notices to registered users via e-mail. If you provide your mailing address or telephone number, CIFFI may also use your personal information to contact you by mail or by telephone regarding special offers from CIFFI, updated information about CIFFI or the CIFFI web site, and new services offered by CIFFI.
