This Privacy Statement is part of, governed by and subject to the Terms and Conditions for the use of MCF Websites that may be accessed at www.mcf.org/terms.htm. By agreeing to the Terms and Conditions, you are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of information and data about you and your use of MCF Websites. Your continued use of any MCF Website constitutes your continuing consent to the Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Statement.

MCF does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under thirteen, please do not give us any personal data. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personal data to MCF, please contact us at info@mcf.org, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.

To gauge the effectiveness of the MCF Websites and MCF's services, to help MCF make efficient use of and improvements to MCF Websites and MCF's services, to help understand MCF's users and for other purposes, MCF collects certain non-personally identifiable information about visitors that does not reveal a visitor's identity. For example (and without limitation), MCF's Web server automatically recognizes a visitor's domain name (such as .com, .edu, etc.), the Web page from which a visitor enters an MCF Website, which Web pages a visitor visits on MCF Websites and how much time a visitor spends on each Web page at an MCF Website. MCF may, in MCF's sole discretion, use this information in a non-personally identifiable form or aggregate this information and use it for any purpose.

MCF's policy is not to sell or disclose personally-identifiable information obtained online about our visitors to anyone outside of MCF unless specifically authorized to do so by such visitors, required by law or if such disclosure is, in MCF's sole judgment, reasonably necessary to protect the safety of persons or property. MCF reserves the right to sell, assign or transfer any and all personally-identifiable information collected via MCF Websites to any entity or individual in connection with any change in control, reorganization, sale, merger or transfer of MCF or all or substantially all of MCF's assets.

MCF policy is not to send unsolicited "junk" or "spam" e-mail. If you receive an unwanted e-mail from MCF, please simply send MCF an e-mail asking MCF not to send you future e-mails, and MCF will take reasonable steps in order to avoid sending such unwanted emails in the future.

This Privacy Statement applies only to MCF Websites. MCF Websites may contain direct and indirect links to other Websites, which MCF provides for your reference and convenience only. Any links to other Websites provided on an MCF Website do not imply on behalf of MCF any endorsement of the activities of or any association with any such Websites or the respective operators thereof. MCF does not control and is not responsible for the content of or the privacy practices employed by any other Websites or the respective operators thereof.

To improve the services MCF can offer, MCF may opt to expand its capabilities for obtaining information about MCF Websites' visitors in the future. MCF may revise or update this Privacy Statement to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area, and MCF recommends that you periodically check this Privacy Statement to view any such revisions or updates. Your continued use of any MCF Website will be subject to the revised Privacy Statement (to the extent not otherwise subject to other agreements between you and MCF).

If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement or concerns about the way MCF processes your personal data, please contact us at info@mcf.org.
