Privacy Statement
The Blazer Foundation places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate The Blazer Foundation’s firm commitment to the privacy of our website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected by this website and how this information is used.
What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
The Blazer Foundation does not collect any personally identifiable information about you other than that which you affirmatively choose to submit to us, such as your e-mail address, postal address and name.
From time to time we automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit the website, such as the IP address of your computer, the time and date of your visit, the pages that you access, and the number of times you return to the website. This information is not used to identify you, but is used in the aggregate for The Blazer Foundation’s internal marketing and similar purposes. This process may involve the automatic placement of a small, removable text file (commonly referred to as a “cookie”) on your computer’s hard drive. We also use cookies to keep records, store your preferences, improve our advertising and collect information based upon your past visits to our website. Information from cookies also tells us about the website you were visiting before you came to our site and the website you visit after you leave our site. Such information is used to generate ads by us or third party vendors based upon your past visits to our site.
IP addresses
The Blazer Foundation uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer www.theblazerfoundation.org, and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.
How Your Information May Be Used
We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; to process your membership application; etc. We may also use your non-personal information to track visitors of our website and to operate, maintain and improve the website and our services. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users’ needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties.
Your Choices and Right to Opt Out
You may notify us of any changes in your personal information, or request that such information be removed from our records by e-mail to info@theblazerfoundation.org. Please be aware, however, that if you choose to have your personally identifiable information removed from our records, you will no longer be able to receive certain updated information from us, or participate in various functions of our website. We may disclose information about you to third parties if we have a good-faith belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of The Blazer Foundation or others.
You may set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our services, or to indicate when a cookie is being sent by us. However, it’s important to remember that many of our services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.

Browsers are different, so refer to instructions related to your browser to learn about cookie-related and other privacy and security settings that may be available.
