What personally-identifiable information does the United Nations Foundation collect on its site, and how is it used?
The United Nations Foundation is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.

We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. We do not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to us, by, for example, filling out a survey or registration form. Information is collected from our users at several different points on the web site.
You may opt out of receiving communications from us by sending an e-mail to info@coalitionforadolescentgirl.org with your complete name, address, and e-mail address.

Surveys & Quizzes
From time-to-time the United Nations Foundation may request information from users via surveys or quizzes–generally as part of our continuing efforts to improve our family of web sites. Participation in these surveys or quizzes is completely voluntary. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and postal address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). This information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving our sites.
Send-A-Friend & Postcards
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. CAG/UNF will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. CAG/UNF will store this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact the UN Foundation at info@coalitionforadolescentgirl.org to request the removal of this information from the database at any time.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on the Coalition for Adolescent Girls site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user will be able to access quiz results, or other interactive features made possible only through the implementation of cookies. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site, but again, this is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information.
The cookies shall only be used to obtain non-personal information to improve your online experience. No other information is stored in these cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and delete any cookies you receive.

The UN Foundation partners with other parties to provide specific services, such as UN Wire. When the user signs up for these services, we will only share names or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.

Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code or email address), or if a user no longer desires to subscribe any of our services, UNF will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our staff at info@coalitionforadolescentgirl.org.

Surveys
We may conduct occasional online surveys via our Website or via an email newsletter. These surveys are entirely voluntary and you may decline to participate.
Email Scams
Several deceptive emails claiming to be from or associated with the United Nations Foundation, Ted Turner and Timothy Wirth are circulating on the Internet. These emails often include our logo, photos, links, or other information from our Web site.
Some emails claim the recipient has won a lottery or other prize and request detailed personal information or a payment of some kind in order to receive the winnings. Some mention other foundations and organizations based in London and the United Kingdom none of which are a part of these scams. Other emails direct recipients to Web sites that promise large returns on investments and claim a portion of returns will be donated to the foundation.
The sources and contents of these emails, Web sites, and accompanying materials are in no way associated with the United Nations Foundation, Mr. Turner or Mr. Wirth. For your own protection, we strongly recommend not responding to emails making such claims.
The UN Foundation has reported, and will continue to report, these deceptive spam emails to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). For more information about the FTC’s efforts against deceptive spam, please visit www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/spam/report.html. For more information about the IC3, please visit www.ic3.gov/ . For information on the FBI, please visit www.fbi.gov/, or contact your local FBI office.
You can also email your inquiries about scam email, letters, and phone calls to info@unfoundation.org.
