Overview
The Haynes Foundation is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to its website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using the website, you agree to the practices described in this policy
Information We Collect
The only personal information the Haynes Foundation collects is your email address, which you voluntarily provide when signing up to receive updates or announcements. We do not request or collect names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, demographic details, or any other personal
identifiers. In addition to this, the website may automatically gather non‑personal information
through standard analytics tools, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on the
site, and referring websites. This non‑personal data helps us understand how visitors use the site and supports improvements to its functionality.
How We Use Your Information
Your email address is used solely to send newsletters, announcements, and updates related to the Foundation’s work, including information about new research, grant opportunities, or events. We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Non‑personal analytics data is used to evaluate website performance, understand visitor engagement, and enhance the overall user experience.
Email Communications
If you sign up for our email list, you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included in each message or by contacting us directly. Once you unsubscribe, your email address will be removed from our distribution list.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Haynes Foundation website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic site functionality and analytics. These tools do not collect personal information and cannot identify individual users. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect certain features of the site.
Third‑Party Services
We may use third‑party service providers to support website analytics or email distribution. These providers are permitted to use information only as necessary to deliver services on our behalf and are required to maintain appropriate privacy and security protections.
Links to External Websites
The website may contain links to external sites. The Haynes Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites and encourages visitors to review the privacy policies of any external sites they visit.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the information you provide. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we strive to safeguard your email address and any non‑personal data collected through the site.c
Children’s Privacy
The Haynes Foundation website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal
requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued
use of the website constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
