Cookies
HTCT’s
server, or the servers of companies that we use to help
us operate our site, may place a "cookie" on
your computer. A "cookie" is a small piece of
data that can be sent by a web server to your computer,
which then may be stored by your browser on your
computer’s hard drive. Cookies allow our computer to
recognize your computer while you are on our website and
help customize your online experience and make it more
convenient for you, for example by allowing us to save
information related to a previous contribution. The
information collected from cookies may also be used to
improve the functionality of our website.
Most
web browser applications (such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer and Netscape Navigator) have features that can
notify you when you receive a cookie or prevent cookies
from being sent. If you disable cookies, however, you
may not be able to use certain personalized functions of
this website.
External
Links
Our
website may contain links to other websites controlled
by third parties. While we try to link only to websites
of reputable organizations, please be aware that HTCT is
not responsible for the privacy practices or the content
of other websites. We encourage you to read the privacy
statements provided by other websites before you provide
personally identifiable information to them. We will
endeavor to inform you when you are leaving our website.
Security
We
maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards
to help protect your personal information. Among other
things, we:
-
use
industry-standard secure encryption software to
protect information that you submit to us over the
secure portions of our website;
-
restrict
access to your personal information to only those
persons who need to know that information to provide
information to you and for other authorized purposes
consistent with this privacy policy (including, but
not limited to, our employees) and who have agreed
to hold such information confidentially and use such
information only for the purposes for which that
information was provided; and
-
maintain
our web servers in an environment in which access to
such servers is limited to authorized individuals
and is subject to a variety of electronic, physical
and procedural security measures.
In
spite of the safeguards that we maintain, no data
transmission over the Internet or any wireless network
is 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant
the security of any information that you transmit to us
and you must do so at your own risk. However, once we
have received your information, we will use commercially
reasonable efforts to protect its security.
Children’s
Privacy

website is designed for use by persons aged 13 or older.
We do not solicit or knowingly collect personally
identifiable information from children under the age of

information from an individual who indicates that he or
she is, or whom we otherwise have reason to believe is,
under the age of 13, we will delete such information
from our systems.

HTCT
reserves the right to modify or supplement this policy
at any time. If we make a material change to the terms
of this policy, we will post a notice on our homepage
and link to the new policy.
