Privacy Policy:
The Nurture Foundation (“The Nurture Foundation”) operates The Nurture Foundation and may operate other websites. It is The Nurture Foundation policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, The Nurture Foundation collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Nurture Foundation purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Nurture Foundation visitors use its website. From time to time, The Nurture Foundation may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
The Nurture Foundation also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on The Nurture Foundation blogs/sites. The Nurture Foundation only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to The Nurture Foundation websites choose to interact with The Nurture Foundation in ways that require The Nurture Foundation to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Nurture Foundation gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at The Nurture Foundation to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with The Nurture Foundation are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, The Nurture Foundation collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Nurture Foundation. The Nurture Foundation does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Aggregated Statistics
The Nurture Foundation may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. The Nurture Foundation may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The Nurture Foundation does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
The Nurture Foundation discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on The Nurture Foundation behalf or to provide services available at The Nurture Foundation websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The Nurture Foundation websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The Nurture Foundation will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, The Nurture Foundation discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The Nurture Foundation believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Nurture Foundation, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an The Nurture Foundation website and have supplied your email address, The Nurture Foundation may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with The Nurture Foundation and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The Nurture Foundation takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Business Transfers
If The Nurture Foundation, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that The Nurture Foundation goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of The Nurture Foundation may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
