Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At Developing Futures we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

Website Visitors

Like most websites, Developing Futures collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Developing Futures Campaign’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Developing Futures Campaign’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Developing Futures Campaign may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Developing Futures also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users leaving comments on our blogs or interacting with forms on the site. Developing Futures only discloses IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Developing Futures website choose to interact with Developing Futures in ways that require Developing Futures to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Developing Futures gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. For those who wish to receive Developing Futures Campaign updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Developing Futures Campaign collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Developing Futures. Developing Futures does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Developing Futures may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Developing Futures may monitor the most popular pages on the momentsnm.org site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Developing Futures may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Developing Futures does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Disclosure and Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Developing Futures discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Developing Futures' behalf or to provide services available at Developing Futures' websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Developing Futures' websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Developing Futures will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Developing Futures discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other lawful governmental request, or when Developing Futures believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Developing Futures, third parties or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of a Developing Futures website and have supplied your email address, Developing Futures may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Developing Futures. We primarily use our various blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Developing Futures takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Developing Futures may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
