Privacy Policy:
Last Updated: August 20, 2003
Grant-Funding.org strives to offer its visitors the many advantages
of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and
personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never
sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third
party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide
information when you register for access to certain portions of our
site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you
make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other
interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, Grant-Funding.org also collects information automatically and through the use
of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For
example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or
use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from
your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name
and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information
each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we
adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through
other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept
cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions
of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password,
and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to
your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your
visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We
respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services
(e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are
most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared
with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information
does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you
or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on Grant-Funding.org to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by Grant-Funding.org and other topics
we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Grant-Funding.org
may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to
site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other
communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical
support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for
example) may access such information. We will use your information
only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we
continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also
disclose your information in response to a court order, at other
times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in
connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or
to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Grant-Funding.org expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates
to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third
parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other
content providers accessible through our site, may have their own
privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example,
during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a
frame on a Grant-Funding.org page, certain content that is actually
created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Grant-Funding.org
you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web
sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
Grant-Funding.org is not responsible for the actions or policies of
such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies
of those third parties when providing information on a feature or
page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you.
For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and
may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether
you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties
and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. Grant-Funding.org does not control the use of this technology by third
parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any
actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities
are beyond the control of Grant-Funding.org and this policy.
Children
Grant-Funding.org does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as
permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information
from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete
that information immediately. If you believe Grant-Funding.org has

rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.

Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment
to combine quality products and services with integrity in dealing

understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal
information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed
decisions when using our site and our products and services.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our site you may provide us with two types of
information: personal information you actively choose to disclose
("Active Information") and use information collected, in a way not
visible to you, on an aggregate anonymous basis as you and others
browse our site ("Passive Information").

snail mail or telephone contact with us, we may retain such
information also.

Passive Information Collected
Our site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" to collect
information about how our site is used. Passive Information gathered
may include the date and time of visits, the site pages viewed, time
spent at our site, the sites visited just before and just after our
site. Passive Information is collected on an aggregate basis without
any association to your personal information so that you remain
anonymous. If you do not wish to transmit "cookie" information about
yourself, you may turn off the cookie function in your web browser;
please consult the "Help" section of your browser to correctly do
so.
What is a Cookie?
Cookies are a feature of web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape
Navigator, etc.) software that allows web servers to recognize the
computer used to access a site. They are small pieces of data that
are stored by a user's web browser on one site to simplify
subsequent interactions with that site by the same user or to use
the information to streamline the user's transaction on related web
pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from site to site and
to complete transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your
online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use the Information Collected?
Broadly speaking, persons we employ directly, or as contractors or
agents at our direction, use Active Information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing customer services
such as support, and making available other products or services we
think may be of interest to our users. We may use the Active
Information or Passive Information you provide to us to contact you
about changes to our site, new services, features or products we
offer, or other information we think you shall find valuable. If at
any time you do not wish to receive such information, please send us
an email .
We use Passive Information to gather information about our users and
to enhance and design our site to make it easier, faster and
friendlier to use. Additionally, cookies help us know information
about how many people visit our site, when they visit and how they
use our service. We do not connect any of this information to your
personal information or email address. However, Passive Information
may result in your viewing of particular advertising based on your
user habits for your viewing on our site.
Your Information In Relation to Others We Link To
You may be able to access other websites through our site. When you
do so you are doing so subject to their policies regarding privacy
and data collection and you should read those sites' privacy
policies to make sure you agree to them before using such sites.
When you choose to shop at such sites, you should read their privacy
policies to make sure you agree to them before making purchases.
Sharing Information with Advertisers or Other Third Parties
We may disclose anonymous information about user habits,
characteristics and user patterns, based on aggregate user
statistics to advertisers on our site.
Sharing Information with the Government or As Otherwise Required by
Law
We may be required by law or government agency to disclose both
Active and Passive Information you have provided to us. If you were
referred by an affiliate partner of ours, your name and email
address may be shared with them when you place an order at our site.
How Do We Secure Active Information and Passive Information?
We secure your personal information submitted by you by using
reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, or
accidental loss or destruction of Active Information and Passive
Information. Your postings on this site and other communications you
may have with us via email or snail mail may not be secure unless we
advise you that security measures are in place prior to your sending
information. Therefore, if you choose to communicate with us through
these means, you are assuming the risk of doing so and we request
that you do not send or post sensitive information through these
means.

Services By Us or to Correct, Delete or Access Your Information
If you desire not to receive information about products or services
we think may be of interest to you or if you wish to access, delete
or correct you information, please send us an email to info@Grant-Funding.org
