KRC PRIVACY POLICY

The Kansas Rural Center (KRC) is committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our site and the communications platforms we utilize.

The Kansas Rural Center does not sell the names or personal data that we collect on our website. Rarely, we may share names and addresses of people on our database for the exclusive, one-time, non-commercial use by another nonprofit organization whose mission is consistent with ours. 
 
When you subscribe to the KRC's newsletter, we will enter your personal information into our database to send you our newsletter and to keep you abreast of our future work and related issues that may be of interest to you.

SMS Communications
KRC does not currently run SMS outreach campaigns.  When receiving technical assistance or support from our staff, you may receive occasional text messages from us depending on your communications preferences.  To stop receiving text messages from KRC please text STOP or contact us at info@kansasruralcenter.org to opt-out of text messaging with us. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Data Gathering
Basic data is gathered by our web hosting service that records date, time, IP address, and request details for all transactions that are processed by their web servers. This information is not directly linked to any specific user name or information that easily identifies the user. Data such as this is gathered by all web servers to track system performance, bandwidth utilization, and site statistics to determine the popularity of specific pages on each website. The analysis of this data helps our web hosting service anticipate growth and helps us to design our website to be more responsive to our visitors' interests.
