Privacy Policy 

The Family Center actively participates in non-SPAM, commercial e-mail marketing communications with its members, and anyone else who is interested in our work.

Like you, we are very offended and distracted by the amount of unsolicited commercial e-mail (SPAM) messages that land in our fellow community members' and our own inboxes as well as the poor self regulation and sales of personal information lists resulting in distracting and offensive material being communicated every day. The Family Center believes that it is our responsibility to set an example for best practices in our communications. We only want to send information to those who are interested and can use it. We take painstaking efforts to assure that we are setting the best possible examples by which an entire industry can follow.

We have created this e-mail privacy policy to demonstrate The Family Center's commitment to your privacy and the protection of your personal and private information. This is our pledge.

If you received a mailing from us, (a) your e-mail address is either listed with us as someone who has expressly shared this address for the purpose of receiving information in the future ("opt in"), or (b) you have registered or purchased or otherwise have an existing relationship with us. We respect your time and attention by controlling the frequency of our mailings.

The Way We Use Information

We use the information you provide about yourself when corresponding with us. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that request or make contact with the person making the request.

We use the information you provide about someone else only to forward the information you specify directly to them. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that request.

We use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

Sharing And Usage

Our firm will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information with anyone without your advance permission or unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to us is only available to employees managing this information for purposes of contacting you or sending you e-mails based on your request for information and to contracted service providers for purposes of providing services relating to our communications with you.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

How You Can Stop Receiving E-mail From Us

Each e-mail sent contains an easy, automated way for you to cease receiving e-mail from us. If you wish to do this, simply follow the instructions at the end of any email.

If you have received unwanted, unsolicited e-mail sent via this system or purporting to be sent via this system, please forward a copy of that e-mail with your comments to
