BwB Privacy Policy

Building with Books (BwB) respects the privacy of visitors to our Web site and those affiliated with our programs. BwB is committed to providing you the opportunity for a positive educational experience during your online visit. To help ensure this we have drafted the following privacy policy.

Personally Identifiable Information and Privacy Protection

Our site contains links to other sites. We will make every effort to ensure that these links are to sites that share our high content and privacy standards, however, we can not be responsible for the content or privacy practices of these other sites.

BwB does not currently use automatically-collected or stored information, such as "cookies" or information from your Internet Service Provider and web browser, except for the purposes of generating internal log analyses.

BwB collects personal information from our visitors on a voluntary basis only, and visitors will always be aware that we are attempting to collect such information. An example of personal information we do collect is contact information for teachers and students who wish to fill out an online application to start a BWB club in their school. This information includes, but is not limited to, name, school, grade, address, phone number, and email.

Any information collected for databases or mailing lists will also be done so with consent of web site visitors. Unless users give us explicit instructions to do so, we do not sell, rent, or transmit personal information to other organizations. Exceptions may include organizations that are part of a BwB program. You will be given the option to remove your name from our email list at the bottom of each email update.

Because BwB considers the individual information we maintain to be confidential, we will not disclose any personal information to third parties unless 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.

Online Donations

BwB ensures our donors and online visitors that their information is safe and secure. BwB has partnered with Authorize.net to provide SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect your confidentiality and the security of any transactions made on the BwB site.

Online News and Press Releases

In the event that BwB wishes to highlight a donor in a newsletter or press release, will not reveal the name or identity of a donor without that donor's written consent.

Information for Parents and Teachers

BwB maintains that all information collected on this site has been approved by BwB staff as obscenity-free educational material fit for students of all ages. Teachers, students, and parents are encouraged to use any and all information from this site for educational purposes.

BwB will take all steps necessary to ensure our 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. BwB encourages you to occasionally review this privacy policy to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
