ACTIVE Life Privacy Policy
The ACTIVE Life Movement website is operated and presented to users in all locations by ACTIVE Life of Austin, Texas. This Privacy Policy covers use of information collected by ACTIVE Life.
We are committed to providing a fun, entertaining, and safe website for people of all ages. We are dedicated to safeguarding any personal information collected on the ACTIVE Life Movement website. To help ensure a rewarding online experience for our visitors, we provide you with this Privacy Policy that describes the information practices of the ACTIVE Life Movement website (www.activelifemovement.org), including how we collect, use and disclose personal information.
1. The Information We Collect
ACTIVE Life collects two types of personally identifying information from users: personal data (such as names and e-mail addresses); and aggregated data (such as information about traffic patterns on the Site, for example how many users log into the Site on a daily basis).
Personal data is collected when users provide personal data to ACTIVE Life, for example in registering for electronic newsletters, creating a user profile, in answering surveys, purchasing items from ACTIVE Life, and registering for contests and other promotional opportunities provided by ACTIVE Life.
Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or site registrations, is collected through various methods. For example, ACTIVE Life collects IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from ACTIVE Life, our servers log your IP address. ACTIVE Life does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us. ACTIVE Life collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on the Site.
ACTIVE Life also uses "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that most major Web sites write to your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit them. Cookies allow ACTIVE Life to measure activity on the Site and to improve your user experience, for example by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, thus allowing you to visit various member-only parts of the Site without re-registering. Cookies are used by ACTIVE Life to measure activity on the Site and make improvements and updates based on which areas are popular and which are not. ACTIVE Life does not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie.
We may also request a user name and email address when a user submits a form through the "Contact Us" portion of the ACTIVE Life website so that we may respond to the inquiry. We collect the e-mail address for the sole purpose of responding directly on a one-time basis to a specific inquiry.
Finally, we may offer blogs or other Public Forums (as defined in the Terms of Use governing the website (the "Terms of Use")), as well as other features in which you may provide us with Submissions (as defined in the Terms of Use), but we take measures, including live moderation, so that users cannot communicate personal information through these Public Forums. If you use a Public Forum on this website, and disclose personally identifiable information, you should be aware that such information could be read, collected or used by other users. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these Public Forums.
If personal information is not provided to us, then ACTIVE Life may not be able to provide access to certain content and functionality on the ACTIVE Life Movement website, or to provide other information, products or services which may be requested.
2. How We Use, Disclose, and Store the Information We Collect
In addition to the purposes described in Section 1, we may actively collect and use email addresses and user names to track usage and to ensure users are following the site's Terms of Use. In addition, we may use an email address and user name to ban a user temporarily or permanently from the ACTIVE Life Movement website if that user engages in inappropriate conduct on the site. We also may use information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer products, programs, or services.
We may disclose information where we are required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena, or where we disclose information to service providers or other group companies who provide support for the operations of our website and who do not use or disclose the information for any other purpose.
If we sell all or part of our business or make a sale or transfer of our assets or are otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, we may transfer user data to a third party as part of that transaction, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
3. Collection of Information for Third-Party Sites and Sponsors
We do not allow third-party companies to solicit or advertise to our users. Our intention is to keep the ACTIVE Life Movement website free from any of this sort of direct advertising.
4. Children Under 13 Years Old.
ACTIVE Life does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for the ACTIVE Life Movement website or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to ACTIVE Life or on the ACTIVE Life Movement website . In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us.
5. Children Between the Ages of 13 and 18
We recommend that minors 13 years of age or older ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet. ACTIVE Life may collect and use personally identifying information, in a manner consistent with the terms of this policy, from users between the ages of 13 and 17. If a user or his/her parent or guardian changes his/her mind with respect to such use, such user, parent or guardian may instruct us to cease the use of such information by contacting us.
6. Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect online. When you enter sensitive information, such as your credit card number, or our membership subscription form, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
7. Financial Information
If you decide to donate to or ACTIVE Life, your full name, email address, credit card billing information including mailing address will be required at the time of purchase. That information is not stored by ACTIVE Life, and, instead, is collected and stored by our payments processing vendor for the purpose of processing payments made to ACTIVE Life. That information is safeguarded with appropriate security, and it will not be used for other purposes. Furthermore, our payments processing vendor has agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal and financial information it obtains from the ACTIVE Life Movement.
8. Links to Other Sites
It is important to note that this Site contains links to third party websites over which ACTIVE Life has no control, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as ACTIVE Life.

This can include links from advertisers, content providers and partners who may use ACTIVE Life's logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you, and may collect data and make uses of it that ACTIVE Life would not.
