The Sister to Sister Foundation is committed to protecting any personal information you provide to us through Heart My Heart social network. We believe it is important for you to know how we protect your personal information to deliver you the best user experience possible.
Your Personal Information
When you register for Heart My Heart, you will be required to give some personal information to generate your account. This information needs to be accurate so that we can maintain your account and personal profile and so you can securely access and edit it. Our sites are not intended for people under age 13. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.
Each user is responsible for material that is posted to their own profile, group or community pages. Individual privacy settings can limit what other users can view, but each member should consider how much personal information they are putting on their profiles. This information will not be used by Sister to Sister for commercial purposes.
Except as set forth in this paragraph, we will not disclose your personal information to unaffiliated companies without your permission, unless it is necessary to comply with valid legal processes, or if we in good faith determine there is a threat to you or others that requires disclosure.
Other User Information
We do research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files, or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. We may provide to third parties information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted. For example, we might inform third parties about the number of users of our sites and the activities they conduct while on a site. We also may provide trusted partners with general information regarding our site users.
To customize your experience, fulfill your requests for information, and improve our services, we utilize cookies on our Web site and e-mails. Our cookies may contain unique user IDs, but they do not gather or store personal information. You may browse our site without cookies by changing the appropriate settings on your browser. For further information on changing your cookie settings, open your browser to the “help” menu.
Discussion Boards, Public Profiles, Community Pages and Groups
Please remember that any information (including personal and medical information) that you reveal in a public forum (such as a bulletin board, mail list, or chat room/event) is not subject to this privacy policy, will be seen by other members of the Heart My Heart Social Network and may be used by them to contact you or for unauthorized purposes. Also, if you link to a third-party site from your community profile or public posting, any information you reveal on that site is not subject to this privacy policy. Consequently, you should carefully review the privacy policies of each site you visit. We are not responsible for the privacy practice or the content of any third-party Web site.
General Information Security
We want your personal information to remain as secure as reasonably possible. Only authorized personnel employees are permitted to access your personal information. Our personnel must abide by our privacy policy, and those who violate our privacy policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Removing Your Personal Information
At any time, users may discontinue their own profile and user information that is available on the Heart My Heart network. Personal privacy settings can also be controlled and accessed by each user through the profile editing tools.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Please note that we may change this privacy policy at any time by posting revisions to our sites. Your use of the sites constitutes acceptance of the provisions of this privacy policy, and your continued usage after such changes are posted constitutes acceptance of each revised privacy policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this privacy policy or any revised policy, please exit the applicable site immediately.
