Part of a Whole is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website. You can visit this website without revealing who you are or any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you. Part of a Whole has established this Privacy Policy to explain what information we collect through this website and how it is used.
We do NOT share personally identifiable information with third parties except as specified below.
Log Files
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyse trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
We use a third-party tracking service called Google Analytics that logs non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate (e.g., usage and volume statistics) to analyse trends, administer the sites, evaluate the value of website content, and gather broad demographic information.
We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on this website. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the option to accept it. You can also set your browser to reject cookies. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, however some areas may not function properly.
We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. We do not use persistent cookies on our site unless you log into a member area or use “Remember Me” or other similar functionality. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.
We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
Security of Information We Collect
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us and information collected on your behalf, both during transmission and once we receive it. Please note that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
