Information collected

Close Up collects information that is voluntarily submitted by website visitors who sign our guest book(s), request additional information through online forms, or purchase publications, videos, simulations, or other merchandise offered online. This information is only used to respond to the visitor’s request. The only personally identifiable information that is required is the information necessary for Close Up to adequately respond.

In addition, our web server tracks the domain names (e.g., “yourdomain.com”), browser types (e.g., Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.), and computer platforms (e.g., Microsoft Windows 98, Macintosh OS, etc.) of our visitors. This information is aggregated for statistical purposes only. At no time can we identify any visitor based on this data.

Close Up takes every precaution to protect the visitor information we collect.

Choice

Visitors to the Close Up Foundation website are not required to provide personally identifiable information. In the event that a visitor signs the guest book, requests additional information, or wants to order online, the visitor may choose not to provide certain information about themselves. However, Close Up may not be able to respond to the visitor’s request if insufficient information is provided.
