Building with Books respects the privacy of our website visitors and those affiliated with our programs. We are committed to providing a positive experience during your online visit. To help ensure this, we implement the following privacy policy.
Personal Information
BwB collects personal information from site visitors on a voluntary basis only, and you will always be aware when we are attempting to collect such information. Unless given explicit instructions to do so, we do not sell, rent, or transmit personal information to other organizations or third parties. Exceptions may include organizations that are part of a BwB program. You may remove your name from our email or mailing list at any time.
Because BwB considers the individual information we maintain to be confidential, we will not disclose any personal information to third parties unless its release is required by law or is pertinent to judicial proceedings. We will put forth our best efforts to implement this privacy policy; however, we cannot guarantee that information we seek to protect will be protected under all circumstances, including those beyond our control.
Emails & eNewsletters
Periodically, BwB sends emails and eNewsletters to our opt-in lists to keep supporters informed of news and events related to our mission. To receive these updates you must provide BwB with contact details including your name, street address and/or email address. This information will be held in complete confidence, and BwB will NOT sell, rent, trade or otherwise reveal this information to a third party. You are given the option to remove your name from our email list within each email/eNewsletter update.
Online Donations
Your online donations are safe and secure. BwB uses industry-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect the confidentiality of your personal information and the security of your transaction. BwB’s donations are processed through Authorize.Net. (For details, visit
www.AuthorizeNet.com.) All online transactions are confirmed by a follow-up email. When you donate online, BwB will never sell, rent or trade this information to a third party.
Cookies
BwB occasionally uses "cookies" – parcels of text sent by a server to your web browser and then sent back unchanged each time your browser accesses that server – for authenticating, tracking and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences. You may chose to configure your browser to accept or reject cookies or to notify you when you enter a website that utilizes cookie technology. Should you choose to configure your browser to reject cookies, you may not have access to some or all of the features of our website.
Links to Other Websites
BwB’s website contains links to other websites. We will make every effort to ensure that such links are to sites that share our high content and privacy standards; however, we cannot be responsible for the content or privacy practices of these other sites.
Information for Parents and Teachers
BwB staff has approved all information collected on this site as obscenity-free educational material fit for all ages. Teachers, students, and parents are encouraged to use any and all information from this site for educational purposes.
Privacy Policy is Subject to Change
BwB will take all steps necessary to ensure that donors and visitors to our website are afforded complete privacy. In order to do so, BwB reserves the right to change this policy at any time to keep up with changing laws, regulations and trends.
