The Dream Factory of Greater Kansas City is committed to providing a fun, safe and secure website for people of all ages. We are dedicated to safeguarding all personal information collected online.

To help ensure a rewarding online experience for all visitors, we provide this summary of our information practices. This privacy notice governs the collection and use of information at kcdream.org and kcdreamfactory.org.

As we continue to offer our visitors new and different types of content and services, we may modify our practices from time to time. However, we will treat all personal information we collect in accordance with the privacy notice in effect at the time the information is collected.

I. The Information We Collect

At The Dream Factory of Greater Kansas City, we do not collect personally identifiable information unless our visitors voluntarily provide it to us.

We do not knowingly collect names and e-mail addresses from children under thirteen without their parents' permission. It is up to the child under thirteen to notify The Dream Factory of Greater Kansas City of his or her age before submitting any information to the website.

When visitors come to our site, we automatically collect some non-personally identifiable information such as the type of computer operating system (e.g., Windows '95 or Mac OS) and browser (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer) being used, and the domain name of the Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink).

II. How We Use the Information

We use visitors' personal information for internal purposes only, such as registering for events. We use parents' e-mail addresses to notify them when we have received personal information such as e-mail addresses from their children and to give parents the option to remove their child's name from our lists.

We only use the e-mail addresses of subscribers to notify event registrants of changes to event times and locations.

We never sell, rent, or otherwise share our visitors' personal information with third parties.

We will disclose information we maintain as required by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a specific law enforcement agency's request.

We will not use or transfer personally identifiable information in ways that are materially different from the ones described above without also providing parental notification of such practices and obtaining consent for any materially different uses.

III. Cookies

The Dream Factory of Greater Kansas City uses a software technology called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that we place in visitors' computer browsers to store their login information. Cookies themselves do not contain any personally identifiable information. Although cookies could enable us to relate a visitor's use of this web site to personal information that the visitor has provided, such as an e-mail address, we do not use cookies for this purpose.

IV. Security

We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect online.

We are particularly sensitive to visitors' security concerns regarding the use of credit cards to purchase products over the Internet. For donations placed by credit card to The Dream Factory of Greater Kansas City, we work with Verisign and use a technology that automatically encrypts credit card data while information is being transmitted over the Internet, provided that the visitor's browser supports the Secure Socket Layer protocol (SSL).
