Privacy Policy

BrainLine.org is committed to protecting your privacy. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the use of the information we collect. All information we collect is confidential. We do not sell or share the data with any other organizations.

Please review the following information to understand how the information you provide will be treated.

Information BrainLine.org collects

The information gathered by BrainLine.org falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to BrainLine.org and (2) tracking information about overall site traffic patterns routinely gathered as visitors navigate through our site.

Voluntarily-supplied information

You are free to visit BrainLine.org.org without identifying yourself. However, if you send us questions using the Contact Us form, or subscribe to our newsletters or alerts, you will need to provide your email address so that a response can be forwarded to you. BrainLine.org does not collect any personally identifying information unless you choose to provide that information to us.

The areas of the site in which we collect information, the information collected, and the purpose for collecting that information are described below:

Subscription to electronic newsletters and alerts

BrainLine.org offers free electronic newsletters and alerts to users. These newsletters include highlights of the BrainLine.org website content and news of interest to BrainLine.org users. To subscribe, you must provide your email address. To remove yourself from the mailing lists, follow the instructions at the bottom of any newsletter.

Sending feedback to BrainLine.org through the "Contact Us" page

By sending email to BrainLine.org using the Contact Us form, you are providing your email address to us; however, we do not use that information for any other purpose other than responding to your individual comments or questions.

Tracking information

BrainLine.org's Web server gathers information about all users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users access most often. BrainLine.org automatically logs IP addresses*, sessions sources, and other data which tracks users' access to BrainLine.org. We analyze these logs to monitor overall system performance and for the overall aggregate trends they reveal about our users, not for the behaviors of individual users.

*Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data. Your IP address does not identify you personally. Most Internet Service Providers use a "dynamic" form of assigning IP Addresses. This means that you may have a different IP Address each time you visit BrainLine.org. Also, many Internet Service Providers, including America Online, use "Proxy servers" which provide even more anonymity for visitors. For example, all visitors accessing BrainLine.org through America Online will be recorded in our access logs as having the same IP Address.

About cookies

In order to make your user experience more efficient, we use a session cookie. This helps us generate web statistics to continue to build a better user experience in future iterations of the site.

We only use session cookies on BrainLine.org. This means that cookies are not saved to your computer and cease to exist when you close the browser. We do not use persistent cookies (cookies that pass and save information between a client machine and our server).

Information sharing and sites beyond BrainLine.org

To make our site more valuable to our visitors, we offer some features in conjunction with other providers. Book recommendations and links, for example, are made available through an affiliate arrangement with Amazon.com. And, of course, our site includes links to a lot of other websites whose privacy policies we do not control. Once you leave our server (you can tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours. If you can't find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site's homepage, you should contact the site directly for more information.

Security

All of the information is stored on servers at a location designed specifically to ensure that no unauthorized individuals have access to the server or its data.
