We are providing you with this notice regarding our online information practices. We make this notice available on our home page and any other location where personally identifiable information about you may be requested. By visiting our website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

This information falls into two categories:

1. Standard web server/visitor traffic information, most often referred to as "aggregate information." This type of information is normally collected by web servers as part of the standard web log processing routine; and
   
   
2. "Personally identifiable" information you provide to us.

While processing your visit to our site, there are instances when the Children's Heart Federation (CHF) collects personally identifiable information in order to better facilitate your use of our site.

How is the Information Used?

In order to supply you with news and information CHF may, from time to time, contact individuals who have provided their personally identifiable information to us from our website. For example, this may include the latest health news, current events, and additional ways you can help. We will not provide your email address to non-affiliated parties.
We aggregate information that is not personally identifiable and use it to:

1. Statistically analyze site usage,
   
   
2. Improve our content and product offerings, and
   
   
3. Customize our site's content and layout.

This enables us to continually improve our site and to tailor it to better meet our users' needs.

In order to prevent unauthorized access to data we receive on this site, ensure the appropriate use of the information, and maintain data accuracy; we make every effort to maintain electronic, physical, and administrative procedures to protect the information we collect online. This includes the use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology during the processing of online contributions and publication orders. See our e-commerce security policy for more information.

CHF is not responsible for material contained in any linked website, any link contained in a linked website, or any changes or modifications to such unaffiliated websites. The inclusion of a link does not constitute an endorsement by CHF of that website.

This privacy statement applies only to the CHF website and does not extend to linked-to websites. Please be aware that CHF will not be held responsible for the practices of other linked-to websites. We suggest that you read the privacy statements of all websites that ask for personal information from you.
