Privacy Policy

Like most website operators, The Violence Prevention Project collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as:

• Browser type and version
• Language preference
• Referring site
• Date and time of each visitor request

Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the website.

The Violence Prevention Project also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on our site. We only disclose logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information as described below.

Certain visitors to The Violence Prevention Project's websites choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction.

In each case, The Violence Prevention Project collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with us. We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

The Violence Prevention Project discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that:

• Need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available at our websites
• 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 our websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

The Violence Prevention Project takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.

The Violence Prevention Project uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of our website, and their website access preferences.

Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using The Violence Prevention Project's websites, with the drawback that certain features of our websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

If The Violence Prevention Project, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that The Violence Prevention Project 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 Violence Project may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer.

This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by The Violence Prevention Project and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, The Violence Prevention Project may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in our sole discretion.

We encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to our Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
