CHARM takes the privacy of our visitors very seriously, and maintaining your privacy is important to us. The following statement will help you understand how, and to what extent, CHARM collects and uses the personal information you provide to us on our Site. Please note that this policy applies only to our Site and not to other organizations’ websites or information we collect offline. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link on the CHARM Site, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies. We suggest that you access these other websites’ policies regarding their own data collection practices.
What Information Do We Collect?
You can visit this Site without providing any information about yourself or your organization. You may, however, provide us with the following types of information: (1) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis (through the Site’s “Contact Us” pages), and (2) non-personal information acquired via cookies (described below). When you provide such information to us you are agreeing to share that information with CHARM, its agents, representatives, and affiliates.
