Browser Information
If you visit the websites of any of the LCV family of organizations to read or download information, we may collect and store the following general information: your computer’s IP address, browser type, and operating system, the date and time you access our site, the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site, the search terms used in connecting to our site, and the various pages that you visit while on our site. We use this information to optimize user experiences by analyzing trends, gathering broad demographic information, and monitoring site traffic patterns that help us further develop and improve the design and functionality of our site.
Publicly Sharing Your Comments
We often receive information from website visitors who have successfully participated in our programs and/or used our resources. In certain instances, we would like to publicly share the comments and stories we receive by posting this information on one of our websites. We will not, however, publicly share ANY information we receive on any of our websites without first receiving the express consent of the individual who submitted the information.
Protecting Our Children
Other Security Measures
We want to provide Chispa members and other supporters with a secure experience whether they are renewing a membership, making a donation, or joining for the first time. While no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal information, we use all reasonable means to safeguard the privacy of your personal information. Our technical security measures include using industry standard 128bit encryption to secure the transfer of data between your browser and our servers. When our forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with one of the best encryption methods in the industry today, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). While on a secure page, such as our membership form, the lock icon on Web browsers such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.
