Bridgeway Foundation (the “Foundation”) is committed to ensuring the confidentiality of information transmitted via our Website. This includes information transmitted when users:

• Apply for grants;
• Send messages, forms, or other information to Bridgeway Foundation via e-mail or the Foundation's Website

We understand and are sensitive to the concerns you may have about releasing information to us. It is our hope that you will be confident that we intend to use your information responsibly. We may update this privacy statement from time to time. Please access this Web page to receive the most current copy of our policy.

What information is collected and how is the information used?

Bridgeway Foundation collects information from you voluntarily in order to process grant applications and provide electronic information services. These are the types of information we collect:

• Your name
• The name of the organization you represent
• Your business address
• Your email address
• Your business telephone number

We use this data to deliver information and surveys to you. This information helps guide us as we develop content for our Web site and other Web services.

• Internet protocol (“IP”) address
• Name of your internet service provider
• The version and name of the web browser you are using
• Your geographic location

Your Web browser transmits this data when requesting Web pages, but it is not sufficient to contact you. For example, this information does not include your email address or your phone number. This information, however, does give us general information about our Web site users and their preferences. We will use this information to provide better service to you and to future users of this Web site.

Sharing of Information

Bridgeway Foundation does not sell or disclose personal information to third parties, other than to service providers who use the information only to help respond to your requests; and, in particular, we do not disclose information to third party advertisers. Bridgeway Foundation may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information (such as total number of Web page “hits,”  or total unique “hits,” ) to selected audiences, such as our Board of Directors or other philanthropic service organizations. This aggregated information cannot be matched to you personally. Specific user information is disclosed to Bridgeway Foundation staff only on a need-to-know basis.

Bridgeway Foundation may disclose user information if required or permitted to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

1. Comply with legal processes served on Bridgeway Foundation or otherwise comply with the law;
2. Protect and defend the rights or property of Bridgeway Foundation or the users of this Web site; and
3. Act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Bridgeway Foundation or its employees, users of the Web site, or a member of the public.

Information security

Bridgeway Foundation takes reasonable steps to protect the user information that is released to us; however, we cannot guarantee that data will be completely secure from misappropriation or computer hardware, software or telecommunications network failure. No data transmitted over the Internet can be 100% secure. Therefore, you provide us with this data at your own risk.

Links to other websites

Our Website is a service provided by Bridgeway Foundation, and this privacy statement addresses only activities connected with our servers. Other sites, including those that we may link to, and third-party sites may have their own privacy policies, which you should be sure to read.
