The Bellwether Foundation (“Bellwether Foundation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) values the privacy of its website visitors. We provide this privacy policy (“Policy”) to explain what information may be collected by us when you visit the website (www.bellwetherstl.org) and how we may use that information.

Information We Collect:

There are two primary types of information we collect:

Generic User Information:

Like most website operators our site automatically collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, language preference, referring site, pages you request, and the date and time of each visitor request. This information is stored on the server we use to host this website. We reference the information to understand visitor use of our website and to continue to improve its usability.

Cookies:

To better serve you and to provide more effective Online Services, we use “cookies” as part of our interaction with the device you are using. Cookies are small text files that a website’s server places on your computer or other device.

Cookies make the personalization of your Online Services experience possible and can also be used to retain data related to a particular browser. We use these data collection tools to determine whether you have previously visited our website, the location from which you are visiting our website, and for several administrative purposes (for example, to store your preferences for certain kinds of information), website traffic reporting, unique visitor counts, advertising / auditing / reporting, and for personalization of a website.

You can refuse to accept these cookies, and most devices and browsers offer their own privacy settings for cookies. You may manage your cookie settings for each device and browser you use. However, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Online Services and some online products and services.

Do Not Track

While, as described above, you may have the ability to control the use of cookies through your web browser, unless the browser settings block our data collection, we do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms. The available settings vary greatly by browser; please refer to your Internet browser settings for more information.
