The Community Impact Fund (CIF) provides this website as a public service. CIF does not collect personal information about visitors to this site unless it is given voluntarily.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically
When you browse the CIF website, certain information about your visit is gathered automatically. This information does not identify you personally. If you do nothing but browse through the site, read pages, or download information, CIF automatically compiles and stores only the following types of data about your visit: the date and time you access the CIF site; the pages you visit on the site; the length of your visit; the Internet domain and server Internet protocol (IP) addresses from which you access the CIF site; the Internet browser and operating system used to access the site; if you linked to the CIF site from a search site, the address of that website and the search term you used; the protocol version (HTTP, FTP) you used in accessing the CIF site; whether you were able to successfully access pages you requested; and if you linked to the CIF site from another website, the address of that website. This information is gathered to help CIF make its site more useful to visitors–to determine the information visitors want and the types of technology they use. CIF does not collect data about individuals when they visit the site. Any data collected is compiled and reviewed in the aggregate.

Information Collected Via Forms
Forms may be provided on the CIF website to allow users to register online for conferences and events or to gather program information. These forms are always voluntary and are submitted to the CIF server by the user. The information collected is stored in registration databases used to generate mailings.
