Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.

otherwise required by law.
We
will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the
purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is
required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal
requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your
personal information for longer than the period of time
in which users have an account with us.
When
we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information,
we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is
not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in
backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and
isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
5. HOW
DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In
Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a
system of organizational and technical security measures.
We
have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical
and organizational security measures designed to protect the security
of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and
efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the
Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure,
so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or
other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security
and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we
will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal
information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only
access the Services within a secure environment.

Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years

18, please contact us at Lori@fosteringfurther.org.

processing grounds other than consent.

CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most
web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include
a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal
your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities
monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and
implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently
respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically
communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online
tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about
that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
California
law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals.
Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard
for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond
to them at this time.
