A user is asked to complete an information form including such data as name, e-mail and postal address. We use this information to contact the user about services on our site for which he or she has expressed interest. For example, we respond to inquiries about grantee resources and funding opportunities. We also use this information to mail or e-mail our newsletter and Call for Proposals.

Information Use

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. Cookies are not programs that come onto a visitor’s system and damage files. Usage of a cookie is not linked to personally identifiable information while on our site.

We use session-based cookies for session navigation purposes. By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. For example, cookies are used for purposes such as but not limited to meeting registration, applicant registration forms and grantee data sharing. Non-password related pages do not use cookies.

Log Files

Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information to third parties. We will only share personally identifiable information with third parties when (i) the person submitting the information authorizes us to share it including but not limited to the provisions enumerated in this privacy policy; or (ii) we are required to by law.

As e-mails and postal deliveries regarding Local Funding Partnerships are often sent on our behalf by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we share personal information as appropriate to facilitate these mailings to individuals who have requested materials.

As previously stated, information submitted as part of a meeting registration is not considered private. Such personal information may be shared with meeting presenters such as workshop leaders in order to facilitate preparation for the meeting. Sharing such information is not intended to open registrants to solicitations; however, LFP has no control over subsequent use of disseminated information.

Security

We have taken reasonable steps to maintain the integrity and privacy of your information to ensure that your information is processed confidentially, accurately and securely.
