Thank you for visiting the Bengali Association of Dallas – Fort Worth (BADFW) website and reviewing our privacy policy. Our privacy policy is clear: We will collect no personal information about you when you visit our website, unless you choose to provide that information to us.

Here is how we handle information about your visit to our website:

1. The Internet domain (for example, “xcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account, “yourschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain, or “youragency.gov” if you connect from a government domain) and the IP address from which our website was accessed. (An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web.)
2. The type of browser and operating system used to access our site.
3. The date and time our site was accessed.
4. The pages that were visited.
5. If you linked to our website from another website, the address of that website.

We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.

If you choose to provide us with personal information, as in an email to one of our online email boxes, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our website, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We treat emails the same way we treat letters sent to BADFW, but we do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. We collect personally identifiable information (name, email address, phone number or other unique identifier) only if specifically and knowingly provided by you. We do not share the information you give us with another organization or entity, unless required by law. Moreover, we do not create individual profiles with the information you provide or give it to any private organizations.

Our website may have links to other other organizations’ websites when we have a good business reason to do so. This does not constitute an endorsement of their policies or products. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.

We ensure that our website remains available to all users by using a system that employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.
