Overview
Zoo Atlanta is concerned about the protection of the privacy of its website visitors, Members and donors. We respect your privacy and your choice not to have your personal information shared with others. Your use of our website indicates your acceptance of this privacy policy.
Website Information
Zoo Atlanta only collects personally identifying information (i.e., information that individually identifies you, such as names, mailing addresses, e-mail addresses and phone numbers) when you submit it voluntarily.
At the time you register on our site, make a donation or register to be a donor, make a purchase request or agree to participate in a promotion, we may collect and store your name, address, credit card numbers and other personally identifying information. We need this information to provide goods and services that you request and to let you know of additional goods and services about which you may be interested. In addition, we use your personally identifying information to improve our marketing, development and promotional efforts; to statistically analyze site usage; and to improve our content offerings and to customize our site’s content, layout and services. We may also use your information to deliver additional information to you that is intended to target your identified interests; in particular, we may use your email address, mailing address or phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, offerings and communications relevant to you on the website.
Further, we occasionally make portions of our Member mailing address lists available to third parties, including nonprofit organizations, as a way to attract new donors. To opt out, contact Zoo Atlanta’s Membership Office at 404.624.9453 or membership@zooatlanta.org.
We may also use or disclose information to resolve disputes, investigate problems, or enforce the Terms of Use for our website. In addition, we may disclose or access information whether we believe in good faith that the law requires us to do so.
In addition, to make our website more useful to you, we automatically gather general statistical information about our website and visitors, such as IP addresses (and information tied to IP addresses, such as screen size, color depth, language, Java enabling, flash version, page title, host name, referring source, and page path), browsers, pages viewed, number of visitors, goods and services purchased, etc. In doing so, we do not reference you by name, email, mailing address, or any similar personally identifying information. We use this data in the aggregate to learn about our visitors and to improve our ability to cater to their needs. We also occasionally provide this statistical information to our third-party partners.
As part of our service, we also use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to remind us who you are, to give you easier access to repeatedly used account information, to gather statistical information about usage, to research visiting patterns, and to help target advertisements based on user interests. In some instances, our partners and advertisers appearing on our site may use their own cookies. Your web browser settings, which you may change at any time, determine if and how a cookie will be accepted. By changing those settings, you can accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set, or simply reject all cookies. If you decide to reject all cookies, please be aware that you may be required to re-enter your information more often and certain features of our site may be unavailable to you.
Security
We employ reasonable and current security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information. Please note that no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Children under 13
We neither solicit nor knowingly accept any information from children under the age of 13. If a child has provided us with personally-identifying information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information and opt out of promotional opportunities.
Third-Party Practices
From time to time, we may allow our third-party partners to present advertisements or other offers on our website. You should be aware that the privacy policy of these third-party partners may differ from ours. We encourage you to read that policy before responding to any such advertisement or offer.
Changes to Our Policy
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. If we update this privacy policy, we will place a notice on our website indicating such update, and this privacy policy shall be deemed to be amended accordingly as of the effective date of such update. You are responsible for reviewing the updated privacy policy so that you are aware of our then-current privacy practices.
