Privacy Policy

Methuselah Foundation Privacy Policy

ADCI and UABBA are hosted at UCLA by the Methuselah Foundation, referred hereafter as MF.

MF is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website. We have established this privacy policy to explain what information we collect through this website and how it is used.

MF does not sell or rent personal information under any circumstances, and we do not share information without prior consent except as compelled by law. (See discussion below.)

Information Gathered by MF Sites

For visitors to our website, we generally log standard technical information automatically, such as the numerical Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser software you use and your operating system; and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site. We generally do log the date and time users access our site on an anonymous basis. This information is used for web statistics tracking and analysis. Circumstances in which we may log further standard technical information include conducting site testing, diagnosis of technical problems, and defending against attacks on the site.

We do not use persistent cookies. We may use session cookies from time to time. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. You can set your browser to refuse cookies.

In addition, MF collects and retains information you submit to us. It is up to you whether to submit information to us, and how much information to provide.

We may ask for additional personal information when you provide feedback or comments, or otherwise communicate with us.

MF Use of Information

In general, MF uses the information provided by you to register and participate. The MF website will collect your personal information on registration. You may be contacted concerning your registration through the contact information you have provided.

We look at technical information to diagnose problems with our server and to administer the MF site.

Third-Party Service Providers

From time to time, MF may work with third-party consultants or other service providers who may have access to personally identifiable information. In such cases, we will restrict their use of personally identifiable information in accordance with their assigned tasks and subject to the limitations of this privacy policy.

Disclosure of Your Information

While MF endeavors to provide the highest level of protection for your information, we may disclose personally identifiable information about you to third parties in limited circumstance, including: (1) with your consent; or (2) when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order.

If we are required by law to disclose the information that you have submitted, we will attempt to provide you with notice (unless we are prohibited) that a request for your information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email, if you have given us an email address. If you do not challenge the disclosure request, we may be legally required to turn over your information.

In addition, we will independently object to requests for access to information about users of our site that we believe to be improper.

Updating or Removing Your Information

You may choose to correct, update, or delete the personal information you have submitted to us by sending an email to aubrey@sens.org. Furthermore, if we inadvertently collect more personal information than intended, we endeavor to delete the extraneous information. However, please understand that deleted information may continue to persist on back-up media.

Changes to Our Policies

The MF Privacy Policy may change from time to time. If we make any substantive changes to our policies, we will post notice of changes on this page.

Security

MF employs industry standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.

Although we make good faith efforts to store information collected by MF in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee complete security. Information collected by MF will be maintained for a length of time appropriate to our needs.
