This Statement of Privacy applies to the SE7EN: Free / Low Cost Volunteer Opportunities; Social and Environmental Volunteering Web Site (hereafter referred to as the SE7EN Web Site) and governs data collection and usage. By using the SE7EN Web Site, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

SE7EN collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. SE7EN also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by SE7EN. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by SE7EN for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the SE7EN Web Site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through SE7EN public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: SE7EN may read any of your private online communications.

SE7EN encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from SE7EN so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. SE7EN is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the SE7EN and SE7EN family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

SE7EN collects and uses your personal information to operate the SE7EN Web Site and deliver the services you have requested. SE7EN also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from SE7EN and its affiliates. SE7EN may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

SE7EN does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. SE7EN may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, SE7EN may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to SE7EN, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

SE7EN does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

SE7EN keeps track of the Web Sites and pages our customers visit within SE7EN, in order to determine what SE7EN services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within SE7EN to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

SE7EN Web Sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on SE7EN or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of SE7EN; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of SE7EN, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The SE7EN Web Site uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize SE7EN pages, or register with SE7EN site or services, a cookie helps SE7EN to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same SE7EN Web Site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SE7EN features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the SE7EN services or Web Sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

SE7EN secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. SE7EN secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

SE7EN will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. SE7EN encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how SE7EN is protecting your information.
