Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting the Commonwealth Foundation website and reviewing our privacy policy. Our privacy policy is clear: We will collect no personal information about you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide that information to us.

Here is how we handle information about your visit to our website.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically

If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages, or download information, we may gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We may automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our website; the type of browser and operating system used to access our site; the date and time you access our site; the pages you visit; and if you linked to the Commonwealth Foundation website from another website, the address of that website.

We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors -- to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.

If You Send Us Personal Information

If you choose to provide us with personal information -- as in an e-mail message or otherwise submitting it to us through our website -- we will only use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We treat emails the same way we treat letters or faxes sent to us in that we do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you, and we will only add you to our email list if you so request.

Occasionally, we share our lists with other public policy-oriented organizations. The Commonwealth Foundation does not collect or distribute information for commercial marketing.
