Privacy Policy

   If you provide any personally identifying information at this site, it will only be used as set out in the following privacy policy:

   This site collects no personally identifying information about you except when you knowingly and specifically provide it to us. Your personally identifying information may be used for our marketing and/or promotional purposes. If you do not wish to receive communications from us, please let us know by sending us an e-mail at the address provided at the end of this policy. We may also provide your personally identifying information to our parent company, subsidiaries, and/or affiliates and/or carefully screened companies whose products and services might be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive communications from any of these entities, please let us know by sending us an e-mail. You always have the ability to stop your personally identifying information from being used for any purpose by sending us an e-mail.

   We want to make sure that the information which we have about you is up-to-date and accurate. We would appreciate it if you would let us know by e-mail if any of your personally identifying information we have is incorrect.

   While we will try to require third parties with whom we share information to follow appropriate privacy policies, we do not bear any responsibility for any actions or policies of third parties.

   The use of "cookies" is common on the Internet. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some portions of this site will not function properly if you do so. If you do not set your browser to refuse cookies, we may place a cookie in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not give us any personally identifying information although it will enable us to relate your use of our site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided to us.

   While your personally identifying information is protected as outlined in this policy, we sometimes collect anonymous aggregated data and provide it to our advertisers for statistical purposes. For example, we might tell them that a certain percentage of users live in a certain geographic area.

   You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) on bulletin boards or in chat areas, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other Internet users. As well, Delta may use the content of anything you post to bulletin boards or chat areas as set out in the Terms and Conditions of Use for this site.

FOSSworks provides navigation to other websites. When you leave FOSSworks you will be going to sites that are beyond our control and standards. Websites external to FOSSworks have their own privacy policies and may collect data or solicit personal information. The privacy and security policies and procedures described here for NCES do not apply to any external links. We suggest contacting these sites directly for information on their privacy and security policies.

   We believe parents/teachers should get involved with their children's/student's online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating. Commercially available software and other tools can assist parents/teachers in screening out content you consider inappropriate for your child/student.
