Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes the personally identifiable information that Empowered Aging (“we,” “us”) collects through our website located at empoweredaging.org (the “Site”) and how we use that information. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies solely to our online information-gathering and dissemination practices in connection with the Site, and does not apply to any of our practices conducted offline. If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy or our practices regarding your personally identifiable information, please contact us at info@empoweredaging.org.
Information We Collect
Empowered Aging collects two types of information about users of our Site:
1. Personally identifiable information: In general, you do not have to provide us with your personally identifiable information to use this Site. However, certain services to which you may subscribe through this Site may require you to provide personally identifiable information, such as your name and e-mail address. We use such personally identifiable information to respond to your inquiries and to e-mail you newsletters or publications that you request. You may also receive other e-mailings related to Empowered Aging. We may send you articles and newsletters, and invitations to our seminars, programs, or events that we think may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive mailings from us, please refer to the paragraph below headed “Changing or Deleting Personal Information.” If you contact us by e-mail through the Site, we may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence, and we reserve the right to use your e-mail address, and any information that you provide to us in your message, to respond thereto. In addition, on rare occasions, we may send by e-mail important administrative information regarding the Site or services to users who have provided us with their e-mail addresses; because this information may be important to your use of the Site, it is not possible to “opt out” of receiving these e-mails. The Site is not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age, and Empowered Aging does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from such children. If you are younger than thirteen, please do not provide any personally identifiable information while using the Site.
2. Non-personally identifiable information: we may use cookies to collect non-personally identifiable information in connection with the Site. Our web pages may incorporate “pixel tags”, “web beacons”, or similar tracking technologies (collectively, “pixel tags”) that allow us or our agents to track the actions of users of our Site. Pixel tags are used to collect non-personally identifiable information, such as the name of your internet service provider, the IP address of the computer you are using, the type of browser software and operating system that you use, the date and time you access our Site, the website address, if any, from which you linked directly to our Site, the website address, if any, to which you travel from our Site, and other similar traffic-related information. We may also aggregate your information with similar data collected from other users to help us improve our Site and the services that we provide through our Site. We do not use such data in any way to create or maintain a personal profile of you or collect personally identifiable information from you.
Use of Information
Generally, we will not disclose personally identifiable information that we collect through your use of the Site to unaffiliated third parties. We reserve the right, however, to provide such information to our employees, contractors, agents, and designees to the extent necessary to enable them to perform certain Site-related services (e.g., web hosting, improve Site-related services and features, or maintenance services) on our behalf. We also reserve the right to disclose such information to any third party if we believe that we are required to do so for any or all of the following reasons: (i) by law; (ii) to comply with legal processes or governmental requests; (iii) to prevent, investigate, detect, or prosecute criminal offenses or attacks on the technical integrity of the Site or our network; and/or (iv) to protect the rights, property, or safety of Empowered Aging and its affiliates, their partners, and employees, the users of the Site, or the public.
Changing or Deleting Personal Information
If you would like to change your personal information, or if you no longer wish to receive materials from us or want your personal information removed from Empowered Aging’s database, please contact us at info@empoweredaging.org. Alternatively, when you receive materials from us by e-mail or other communications you can make use of the “opt out” provision in such communications so that we know that you no longer wish to receive such materials from us.
Security
Empowered Aging seeks to adopt commercially reasonable security measures consistent with legal industry practice to assist in protecting against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personally identifiable information which is under our control. Unfortunately, no security system, or system of transmitting data over the Internet, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result of the foregoing, while we undertake commercially reasonable efforts to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers, the means by which information is transmitted between your computer and Empowered Aging ‘s servers, or any information provided to us or to any third party through or in connection with the Site. You provide all such information entirely at your own risk.
Revisions to Privacy Policy
The Internet and the benefits it offers are constantly and rapidly evolving, as are the ways in which people use the Internet and the laws surrounding such use. Empowered Aging therefore reserves the right to update and revise this Privacy Policy at any time. You can determine if this Privacy Policy has been revised since your last visit by referring to the “Effective Date of Current Policy” date at the top of this page. Your use of our Site constitutes your acceptance of the terms of the Privacy Policy and of the Terms & Conditions [Link] as amended or revised by us, and you should therefore review this Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions [Link] regularly to ensure that you are aware of its terms.
Business Transfers
Empowered Aging reserves the right to transfer any and all information that we collect from users, or that we otherwise collect in connection with the Site, including, without limitation, to unaffiliated third parties or third parties in the event of a sale or transfer of assets or of any portion of our business.

Our Site contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our website.
