What types of information does CMS collect about me from my use of this website and how does CMS use the information?
We collect and use information about you to communicate with you about our services, promotions, programs, and events, and to customize our communications in those areas. We also collect information to improve your website experience, enroll students, and enable you to make donations to CMS. Here are the ways we obtain information about you and the types of information we obtain:
- Register for Our Newsletter.When you ask us to send you our newsletter, you provide us with your email address so we can fulfill your request.
- Contact Us Link.If you contact us via our website, we may ask you for information such as your name, address, and email address so we can respond to your questions or comments. Unless you consent, we do not retain this information except to respond to your inquiries.
- Like many organizations, we use cookies and log files on our website. Cookies are small text files that websites often store on the computer hard drives of visitors to their sites. A cookie contains a unique code, which is used to recognize your computer when a user of your computer returns to a website that was visited previously. Log files are small text files that websites automatically create when a user visits a site. We use cookies and log files to enhance the online experience of our visitors and to better understand how our site is used. Cookies and log files may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our site before or whether you are a new visitor.
The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Remember, though, without cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our website features.
- When you enroll online, you give us your name, email address, and phone number. If you are under 13 years old, we ask you to have your parent or guardian enroll you.
- Special Offers.From time to time, we may offer you discounts and rewards provided by our supporters. When you choose to download any special offers or instant coupons from our websites, we do not collect any personal information about you.
- You also give us contact information and credit card or checking information so we can process your donation. We use this information for that purpose and to customize our communication with you. CMS will not share or sell a donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of non-CMS organizations.
Does CMS share the information it obtains about me with third parties?
CMS does not share personal information about you with any third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do share this information with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf who may have their own privacy policies that may apply, but these service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We also may disclose information about you to funders and sponsorship partners solely with respect to tracking and enhancing campaigns in furtherance of our mission and as required by law.
Does the CMS website contain links to other websites?
The CMS website may contain links to other websites that operate independently of CMS and are not under our control. We encourage users to be aware when they leave our site and to look at the privacy notices for any websites that collect personally identifiable information. Specifically, student enrollment and donations are managed through DonorView, with its respective privacy policy and terms and conditions. CMS is not responsible for information that is provided by those sites or for any other use of the sites.
