We value your privacy. The following is our policy regarding what personal information we collect on this website, what we do with it, and how you can protect yourself.

This site is owned and operated exclusively by the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership of Marin (?the Center?), a non-profit organization in San Rafael, California.

We also provide clear instructions on how to exercise the option to not have your personal information shared if you so desire (?opting-out?).

Information you give to us will be exclusively used as you request (to provide you with information about our services, for example) or to help facilitate serving you. Please read this Privacy Policy for details about what information we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.

We do not use cookies.

Do you track site usage?

Yes. The Center tracks the movement of our visitors through our site through a variety of means. These include:

• Reports based on source of entrance to the site domain
• Reports based on search engines and search terms used to find our site
• Reports based on amount of time spent viewing specific sections/pages of the site
