As a general policy, no personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is automatically collected from your visit to Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation sites. However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation's Internet servers. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is gathered in order to enhance your online experience. 

Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to us. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet provider whenever you are surfing the Web. When you requests pages from Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation Sites, our servers log your IP address. Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of our Site. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that your session will be logged, but you are anonymous to us. We may use your IP addresses in cooperation with your Internet provider to identify you if we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use or to protect our service, Sites, customers, or others.

We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscription lists to third party individuals, government agencies, or companies at any time unless compelled to do so by law. If you sign up for one of our email lists, we will only send you the kinds of information you have requested.
