ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY
GoingToBat.org

At GoingToBat.org, we are committed to protecting your privacy and we acknowledge that you may have concerns regarding the use of personal information. With our statement, we intend to explain how we use the information we have gathered from our visitors, members or customers.

Collection and Use of Information

We will not collect personally identifiable information from you or your child other than what is supplied voluntarily. In order to participate in some activities, visitors may be asked to provide some personally identifiable information (see below). We will only collect enough information from our visitors to make activities on GoingToBat.org fun and interesting. Except as stated below, no personally identifiable information is retained in a GoingToBat.org database.

We will always explain the extent of its use at the time you are asked to provide personal information. If you do not want this information to be collected or used by us for these purposes, you can simply decide not to participate in that activity. Under certain circumstances, opting out may prevent your participation in activities for which personal information is needed (i.e., contests).

To participate in certain activities on our website, users must provide their personal information, which may include their name, age, hometown and local Going To Bat Chapter name. Parental consent will be required before a user may participate in these activities.

Parental Involvement and Consent

Parental involvement in a child's activities on GoingToBat.org is very important to us. We never collect more personally identifiable information from children than is necessary for them to participate in our online activities. We always require prior parental consent before collecting or maintaining personal information from children under the age of 13. We also allow parents to request at any time that any information displayed about their child be removed from our website.

Third Parties

GoingToBat.org uses personal information collected about its web site users only in defined and responsible ways. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Cookies

GoingToBat.org utilizes persistent and per-session cookies. Persistent cookies are cookies that exist even after a client browser is closed. For instance, if a visitor checks "Remember My Login" next to his or her username and password, the website is likely writing a persistent cookie to the hard drive. When the visitor returns, the website reads the cookie file for cookies associated with the site and returns information based on the associated cookie values. Per-session cookies are non-persistent, however, meaning they are written to the visitor's browser memory instead of the hard drive. In short, per-session cookies only exist for the duration of the browser session; whereas, persistent cookies remain available for future browser sessions.

You can control cookies from your computer through Internet browsers (like Netscape, Mozilla or Explorer) or by using other software. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to alert you when cookies are in use. You may choose to disable or refuse cookies. You can also direct your browser to erase a cookie that has been placed on your computer by us or by others.

Security

GoingToBat.org is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To help prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. Preventing credit card fraud is important to protect your personal financial data security.
