Do Komen Web sites use COOKIES, OTHER TECHNOLOGIES or THIRD PARTIES to INDIRECTLY collect information?

Cookies and other Technologies

A cookie is a small data file that a Web site may send to your browser and which may then be stored on your hard drive. Our Web sites use cookies to simulate a continuous connection —cookies let us "remember" information about your preferences and session, and allow you to move within areas of our Web sites without reintroducing yourself. No personally identifiable information is stored in these cookies.

Our Web site may also use other technologies to track which pages on our Web sites our visitors view. This non-identifiable click-stream data helps us understand how visitors use our Web site.

Does Komen SHARE the information I’ve provided?

From time to time, we may be required to provide personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We may release certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.

How does Komen SECURE my personal information?

We are committed to properly securing the information we collect online. To help us accomplish this, we take the following steps:

We employ internal access controls to ensure that the only people who see your information are those with a need to do so to perform their official duties;

We train relevant personnel on our privacy and security measures;

We physically secure the areas where we hold hard copies of the information we collect online;

We regularly back up the information we collect online to insure against loss;

Will this Privacy Policy CHANGE?

Because our Web sites and businesses will continue to implement new technologies and improve the services and features we provide, this policy is subject to change.
