This privacy policy describes our practices regarding how personal information we collect on our website is used and shared with third parties. By visiting our website or otherwise submitting your personal information to us, you accept the practices described in this policy. The information we receive through our website depends on what you do during your visit, and what service(s) you request.
European Union Users
You expressly consent to us processing your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy. Your personal information may be processed by us in the country where it was collected and in the United States. United States laws regarding processing personal information may be less stringent than the laws in your country. If you represent an organization, you will ensure that each member of your organization (including employees and contractors) about whom personal information may be provided to us has given his or her express consent to our processing of such personal information.
Personal Information
We may ask you to submit personal information at various places on our website, including on pages where you are requesting information, subscribing to a newsletter, downloading files, or submitting feedback. This personal information, which you voluntarily submit, may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, your interest in our programs, and the like. We may use this personal information to contact you or send you information you have requested or that may be of interest to you. We may contact you via phone, email, or postal mail. We generally give you an option not to receive these types of communications. However, even if you request not to be contacted by us, we reserve the right to use your contact information if we consider it necessary to send you crucial information about, for example, services you have requested from us or information about changes to our privacy policy.
Non-Personally Identifying Information
We may also collect information automatically about the use of our website, through “cookies,” “IP addresses” or other means. This information is not collected and stored in a personally identifiable manner, however. This information helps us evaluate and improve our site and is also used for development purposes. We may share this information with third parties, but only in aggregate statistical form that includes no personally identifying information.
“Cookies” are small files Web sites place on your hard drive that allow sites to identify you. The use of cookies is a common practice on many websites. For example, if you allow a site to remember your login name or password, the site places a cookie on your computer. Cookies cannot read any other information on your hard drive. We may place cookies on your computer to allow us to identify you. We may use cookies to measure website traffic, to offer you certain services, or to customize your visit. However, if you do not wish to receive cookies, or want to be notified of when they are placed, your browser may permit you to do so.
An “IP address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases, your IP address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer Internet access provider, your IP address probably varies from session to session.
Public Forums
Our website may offer forums and message boards. Please be advised that any information posted in these venues will be publicly available.
Related Entities
If we share your personal information with a related entity (one under common control with us), we will require the affiliate to honor this privacy policy.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, you should know that no organization, including M3AA Foundation, can fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information. Your privacy is very important to us. Due to factors beyond our control, however, we cannot fully ensure that your personal information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be legally required to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications.
Linked Sites
Our site may link to other sites not controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of any other websites. We therefore encourage you to read the privacy policies on those other sites.

We may amend this privacy policy at any time by, in our discretion, either: (1) by sending you a notice of the amended policy to the email address you have submitted to us (if applicable), in which case you agree to the amended version if you do not contact us to inform us otherwise;, or (2) by posting the amended version on our website, in which case you agree to the amended version if you continue to use the website.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill your request in a timely manner. However, even if we delete such personal information from our ‘live’ database(s), it may still be stored on other databases (including those kept for archival purposes).
