The following privacy policy is provided by Livable Places, a non-profit organization.

Our commitment to You
Because the personal information you provide to the Making the Connections team is your private information, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in their safekeeping and use. This means, most importantly, that we do not sell your information to anyone. Instead, we use your information solely to keep track of your interest in the project.

The information we collect about you
You provide personal information when you complete our e-newsletter subscription form. When we enter your information, we may store the information even if you don’t complete or submit the form.

How we handle your personal information
We do not sell information about you to third parties, nor do we share such information.

How we protect privacy online
* Our website uses some of the most secure forms of online communication available, including data encryption and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

* Our website offers customized features that require our use of "HTTP cookies" and similar data files—tiny pieces of information that we ask your browser to store. However, we make very limited use of these data files. We don’t use them to pull data from your hard drive, to learn your e-mail address, or to view data in cookies or other similar data files created by other websites. We will not share the information in these data files or give others access to it.

* When you visit our website, we may collect certain technical and navigational information, such as computer browser type, Internet protocol address, pages visited, and average time spent on our websites. This information may be used, for example, to alert you to software compatibility issues or to resolve technical or service problems, or it may be analyzed to improve our Web design and functionality and our ability to serve you and your accounts.

How we safeguard your personal information
Within our organization, we restrict access to information about you to those employees and consultants who need to know the information in order to perform their jobs, such as project managers and web programmers. To protect your personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in keeping with industry standards and practices, and we review and adjust these safeguards regularly in response to advances in technology.

What you can do
If you become aware of any suspicious activity relating to your subscription, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately.

As required by federal law, we will notify you of our privacy policy annually. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, but rest assured that if we do change it, we will tell you promptly.
