Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online and offline information practices in addition to the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Literacy Partners, Inc. has created this Privacy Policy to explain why we collect particular information and how we will protect your personal privacy within our website. This Privacy Policy addresses those concerns.

Literacy Partners, Inc. uses its best efforts to respect the privacy of its online visitors. At our site, we do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we do not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our site.

Literacy Partners, Inc. only gathers personally identifiable data, such as name, addresses, zip/postal codes, e-mail addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. For example, personally identifiable information may be collected in order to make a financial donation online.

We will only share personally identifiable information with third parties when:

  • The person submitting the information authorizes us to share it
  • Sharing the information is a necessary operation of the site, for instance, to process a credit card transaction
