Thank you for visiting the Westcott House Foundation’s (“Westcott” or “we” or “us”) Internet website and related applications (the “Site”). We provide this Privacy Policy to highlight our policies in connection with personal data we collect online and offline. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect, how we may use and share the information, and your options with respect to our handling of personal information about you.
This Privacy Policy covers the following:
1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
We collect personal information from various sources. We may collect personal information when you provide it directly or if you provide personal information to use certain functions provided on our Site. We may also collect personal information from companies that organize events or programs at our venues, from other third parties or vendors, and information automatically retrieved during visits to the Site.
The types of personal information we collect may include demographic information, such as zip code or gender; membership information, such as name or member profile information; contact information, such as name, address, email, phone number; or billing information.

2. USE OF INFORMATION
We use the personal information that you provide to send you the information you requested, to send you notices or other information about Westcott, or for any other lawful purpose.
We may share information with others within our organization or with third parties who may join our projects or initiatives. We may also share personal information with third party service providers who provide services for us or with whom we may collaborate, such as technology providers, marketing organizations, and survey and market research providers. We may also disclose personal information if for some reason it becomes necessary to do so to comply with applicable laws or to enforce our rights.
3. PROTECTION OF INFORMATION
We do not make available to the general public any personal information you provide to us in connection with your request for information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transmission of personal information between you and the Site is not encrypted and may not be secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to, from, or over the Site, and you do so at your own risk.
4. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES
The Site may provide links to Third-Party Websites that are not under our control. If you click on a link to such a Third-Party Website, you will be transported to one of these Third-Party Websites and away from this Site. THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES TO THIS SITE ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO DESCRIBE THE PRIVACY POLICIES OF THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES WITH REGARD TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION; WESTCOTT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES.

Any link on the Site to a Third-Party Website does not imply an endorsement of the privacy practices of such Third-Party Website by us, and no such Third-Party Website is authorized to make any representation or warranty on our behalf.
5. INFORMATION RELATING TO CHILDREN
We may collect personal information from children under 13 when Westcott holds contests. The child’s personal information we may collect is child’s full name and it will be used to notify contest winners and notify third parties of contest winners, for example, through social media posts. We will not require the child to disclose personal information that is not necessary for the activity.
A parent or guardian may review the child’s personal information, can direct Westcott to delete the personal information, and can refuse further collection of child’s personal information and use of personal information. A parent/guardian may also limit how child’s personal information is used.

You may ask to see the personal information that Westcott holds about you at any time by contacting us.

8. STORAGE AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Westcott will store and process your personal information in the United States or in any other country in which it, or our selected business partners, maintain facilities for doing so.
