Boys & Girls Clubs of America Online Privacy Policy

Boys & Girls Clubs of America (B&GCA) Online Privacy Policy We respect your privacy as our online guest. We do not collect any identifying or personal information about you while you are here unless you agree to furnish it. We ask you for identifying and personal information only:
  • When we invite you to receive periodic e-mail updates about our progress. When you accept, or "opt in," we ask you to give us your e-mail address and respond to some questions that help us tailor our information to your interests. You can "opt out" of receiving these periodic updates at any time.
  • When we process your online donation to B&GCA. When you donate to honor someone else, we do not use the information you give us about that person for any other purpose.
  • When we accept your online "registration" at our site. When you agree to give us identifying and personal information, you are giving that information only to Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the parties we have involved in operating this site. You are giving it solely to enable the services this site provides. Boys & Girls Clubs of America never gives or sells name lists to third parties.
We give information about you to third parties only:
  • When we have your permission;
  • When we provide you with a service that requires it (accepting your online donation, for example); and/or
  • When we must do so as required by law.
To make future visits to this site easier for you, we place small text files called "cookies" in your Internet browser directory. The cookies record some of your activity while you are here, but they do not identify you to anyone but us. We use these cookies only to see exactly how people are using our site and where we need to improve its functions and features.

You may set your browser to refuse cookies without affecting your activity at our site. You may, however, find that other sites deny you access if you do so.

For your convenience, this site may contain links, or addresses, that you can simply click to open other useful sites where B&GCA does not control content or privacy policy. Carefully review the approach these sites take to your privacy before you use them or provide them with information.

B&GCA assumes no liability for any unauthorized actions of third parties or accidental transmission errors that may disclose information about you.

Please review this policy each time you visit us. We may change it to respond to new concerns, changes we make to the site, or changes in the laws that affect our responsibilities and your privacy. We date new versions as we post them.
