Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is used to gather broad demographic information such as the geographic regions most interested in our site and what type of browser most of our visitors prefer. This information helps us to better maintain and update our site to be the most user-friendly and relevant.

No personably identifiable information is collected about individuals without their knowledge.

E-mail policy
TCF provides forms on its Web sites where users can sign-up to receive e-mail newsletters and periodic notices about conservation topics. TCF limits communications by e-mail to users who have opted in to receive e-mail communications or in the course of business for online transactions including confirmation of contributions and product or course purchases. Each email sent contains an easy, automated way for you to cease receiving email from us, or to change your expressed interests.

TCF takes the following measures to ensure that information collected on TCF's Web sites is kept secure and is used as intended. All data is stored on secure, firewall-protected servers either at TCF offices or those of business partners and is only accessible to authorized TCF and partner staff.
