This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ACBVI) and is modeled using the model privacy statement listed on eTrust.com. eTrust charges $299.00 per year to obtain their seal of approval. For a not-for-profit like ACBVI, this is a cost that cannot be easily absorbed. Because ACBVI wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, we disclose this information and our privacy practices.

Because acbvi.org wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy this website wants to notify you of:

• What personally identifiable information of yours or third party personally identification is collected from you through the website.
• The organization collecting the information.
• How the information is used.
• With whom the information may be shared.
• What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information.
• The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under ACBVI control.
• How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information. If you feel that this company is not abiding by its posted privacy policy, you should contact sstewart@acbvi.org or the ACBVI directly by mail or phone.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
