Privacy Policy

Sequoia Riverlands Trust takes your privacy very seriously. This notice describes Sequoia Riverlands Trust’s privacy policy as it relates to www.sequoiariverlands.org. At Sequoia Riverlands Trust, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.

Sequoia Riverlands Trust gathers two types of information about users:

Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys.
Information Sequoia Riverlands Trust gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does Sequoia Riverlands Trust divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

Sequoia Riverlands Trust gathers user information through the following processes

Optional Voluntary Information—We offer several free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users. These services may include electronic newsletter sign-ups, online giving, online purchases and online polls.

Electronic newsletters policy

We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Sequoia Riverlands Trust gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page.

Usage tracking

Sequoia Riverlands Trust tracks user traffic patterns on our site. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Sequoia Riverlands Trust does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

Cookies

We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Sequoia Riverlands Trust uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.

Children

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.

Use of Information

Sequoia Riverlands Trust uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience on our site, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the site or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a monthly basis (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Sequoia Riverlands Trust never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

When we use tracking information, it is to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.

Sequoia Riverlands Trust creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns. We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

Sharing of the Information

Sequoia Riverlands Trust uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help us understand our audience's demographics. We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

Security

Sequoia Riverlands Trust operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.

Opt-out Policy
