At present, the only information you will be asked to provide is your name, address, age bracket and email address. SORT will use this information to establish the geographic demographics of our visitors. This will enable us to enhance the focus of the site by providing news, feature stories, advertisements and information relevant to the areas where our members and visitors reside.

While visiting our site, you may elect to participate in our REFERRAL PROGRAM, which will allow you to win prizes for referring new members to SORT. When visiting the site for the first time, a prospective member will be asked for the name of the referring member. By electing to participate in the Referral Program, you agree that SORT will acknowledge your membership in the organization to third parties. If you elect not to participate in the Referral Program, please note this preference on your initial on-line membership registration form.

If you elect to purchase items from The SORT STORE, you will be asked to provide information necessary to complete your order and/or ship the goods.

SORT.Org works with affiliate retail partners and advertisers. In most cases, each affiliate retail partner and advertiser will have their own privacy practices and safeguards. SORT.Org makes no representation as to the practices employed by these affiliates to safeguard the privacy of your information. We recommend that you visit affiliate web sites and review their privacy statements for further information.

SORT.Org is committed to protecting your personal information- but we cannot insure or guarantee complete security. There is always the possibility that information voluntarily disclosed on-line will be obtained and used by others. Accordingly, it is in your best interest to remember that you provide information on-line at your own risk. If you have any concerns not addressed by this Statement, please feel free to contact us at privacy@sort.org.

Finally, while SORT.Org reserves the right to change its privacy policies, members will be notified of any change via email or notification on the site.

We only collect personally identifiable information from our visitors 13 years old or above when such visitors voluntarily submit such information.

We do not collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 without first obtaining verifiable parental consent, unless we only use such information to: (1) obtain parental consent or provide parents with notice; (2) respond directly on a one-time basis to a child's specific request; (3) respond more than once to a child's specific request along with providing parental notice of such use; (4) protect the safety of a child; or (5) comply with legal requirements. The consent and notification process mentioned above gives parents the ability to let us know if they do not want us to make further use of the personally identifiable information we have collected from their child.

For those activities that require personally identifiable information, such as contests and sweepstakes (in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), SORT.org will not condition a child's participation in an activity on that child disclosing more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to administer the activity. For certain online activities, we require verifiable parental consent before collecting or using a child's personally identifiable information. With these activities, SORT.org will notify the respective parent of our privacy policy and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personally identifiable information from a child, unless one of the exceptions discussed above applies.

Parents can request to review or have deleted their child's personally identifiable information from SORT.org's records, and refuse to permit further use of a child's information by contacting: privacy@sort.org.
