Website Usage/Policy

Please read the information below regarding the Community Development Foundation website (http://www.cdfms.org) and its usage.

Privacy

The Community Development Foundation (CDF) is committed to your privacy, as a visitor to our website, and we make every effort to ensure the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. We also recognize the importance of protecting any information we may collect about you and/or your visit to this website.

Having said this, CDF does not gather from you, without your specific permission, any personally identifiable information when you visit this website. We do not keep and maintain website data that may be considered personally identifiable in nature, nor do we keep and maintain website data for use in mass postal mailing, broadcast faxing and broadcast e-mailing.

Like most web servers on the Internet, the server(s) we use collects and stores all of the information that your web browser sends when it requests a web page, including:

• The name, domain, and numerical internet address of the "host" computer (typically a computer belonging to your Internet Service Provider and not your personal computer) from which you access the Internet.
• The page you requested from our website and the number of characters sent to your computer.
• The information your web browser software sends as its so-called "User Agent," which typically identifies the browser software and may also indicate the operating system and type of CPU used in your personal computer. It is impossible to directly determine the actual identity of an individual user from this information.

Third Party Websites or Software

To offer our website visitors a wide-range of "links" and "related" materials, the CDF will periodically link to other "external" websites that are not created, designed or maintained by CDF; however, in creating such links, the CDF in no way endorses or otherwise promotes the use or content of such websites. All content of such sites remains the property, trademarks, etc., and/or responsibilities of the individual external websites or their parent companies.

The CDF will also link to other sites (such as http://www.microsoft.com or http://www.adobe.com) to help guide our visitors to areas where they can download additional software which may be helpful in viewing some of the CDF's published materials; however, making these links to download sites available, again, in no way, constitutes and endorsement of such software, or the manufacturers of such software. All software, unless otherwise stated, is copyrighted and/or trademarked by its respective owners. Use of such software is at the visitors own risk, and any and all warranties will be made through the owners of such software, not the CDF.

Cookies

"Cookies" (or bits of data that reside on your computer, which have been placed there by websites that you visit) are not used by any CDF or CDF-related web technology at present. However, there may be third-party "cookies" which may appear on your machine because of the CDF's use of third-party technologies on our website. For example, The Weather Channel™ uses "cookie" technology for the information display on the CDF website's homepage (www.cdfms.org). The CDF's website, however, does not make use of "cookie" technology.

The CDF makes no warranty, implied or otherwise, on this website, nor any of the content herein; however, we do make every effort to post timely and accurate data wherever possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at info@cdfms.org.
