The only personally identifiable information collected through emails or your visit to http://www.darwinfoundation.org/ is that which you choose to share. Any information you provide, such as through signing up for our newsletter, responding to a survey, or sending CDF an email, is kept private and will not be shared with individuals or organizations other than the FOGOs.

CDF takes measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of data used by our system.

Sharing and Use of Personal Information

CDF will not share, sell, or rent individual personal information with anyone without your permission or unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to CDF is only available to employees managing this information for purposes of contacting you or sending you emails based on your requests for information, and to contracted service providers and associates for purposes relating to our communications with you.

Emails from CDF

If you receive a mailing from CDF, your email address is either listed with CDF as someone who has expressly shared this address for the purpose of receiving information ("opt-in"), or you have registered or purchased or otherwise have a relationship with CDF. CDF respects your time and attention by controlling the frequency of our mailings.

If you have received unwanted, unsolicited emails sent via this system or purporting to be sent via this system, please forward a copy of that email with your comments to distribution@fcdarwin.org.ec for review.

Cookies

Some of the facilities on the CDF web site require the use of cookies, which are small pieces of text to help your computer remember certain information (for instance if you use “My menu”). Cookies do not contain any personal information. However, you can stop your computer from storing them and/or delete them whenever you wish. Check your browser “help” for more information.

Children and www.darwinfoundation.org

This web site does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under age 13. If CDF discovers that a person under the age of 13 has provided CDF with any personally identifiable information, CDF will delete that information from our systems. CDF is unable to reply to information requests from children under the age of 13, if so identified. A parent or guardian must initiate requests for information from children under the age of 13. CDF encourage parents to supervise children when they browse the Internet.
