Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to define appropriate security and protection of personal information collected on the CFN website.
Information Security
CFN has appointed an Information Security Officer to monitor privacy practices and maintains strict security procedures to protect visitor information. Access to visitor data is limited to specific individuals who are trained to respect user privacy. The access given to these employees is restricted to their need to know such information for business purposes.
Personal Information
CFN collects only the domain name, but not the email address of visitors to the CFN website. The information collected is used to improve the content of the site. The information is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes. Information supplied online voluntarily by visitors to CFN including email addresses, postal addresses, and telephone numbers will be kept confidential. CFN will not barter, trade, or sell access to this information. Visitors who have supplied such information may receive periodic email, mailings and telephone calls about promotions and upcoming events. Visitors who do not want to receive such information should contact CFN.
Donor Privacy
CFN will not share or sell any donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of any other organization.

“Cookies” may be used in connection with this site. A cookie is a small amount of identifier data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. By using cookies, information is potentially collected without your express knowledge. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies but permit you to change the setting to refuse cookies or to be alerted when cookies are being sent.

Google Analytics
We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. CFN uses the information obtained from Google Analytics only to improve the CFN website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.
Children and Privacy
CFN encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and to be fully familiar with the sites visited by their children. The CFN website will not contain content that is unsuitable for children.

CFN security and privacy practices may differ from other websites linked to from the CFN website. CFN is not responsible for the privacy policy of any website linked to from this site.
Policy Updates
CFN reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without any obligation, to modify or correct any error or omissions in any portion of the CFN website. If CFN website security practices change at some time in the future, these policy revisions will be posted on the CFN website.
