Anonymous Data Collected Through leftofcenter.org
In addition to the information you provide when you use our websites, Left of Center may use technology to collect anonymous information about the use of our website.

Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer and they cannot be used to discover the identity of a user. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not and whether you are required to accept the cookie to view certain content. Left of Center may use cookies to "persist" a user session, that is, to maintain connection with a user as he or she moves through an application or series of web pages. The purpose of cookies in this context is to remember user inputs. Personalization features also use cookies to identify groups of users and deliver appropriate content and services.
Disclosure of Your Personal Data
Left of Center may share personal data collected through its websites with third-party vendors who act for or on behalf of Left of Center (for example, companies that provide support services to us, including data processing services, or that help us). These companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we share with them for any other purpose. In addition, there may be some other, limited circumstances in which Left of Center may share or transfer the personal data in our databases, for example, to comply with a legal requirement, for the administration of justice, to protect your vital interests, or in the event of a merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event.
While no method of data transmission is guaranteed against unlawful third party interception or other misuse, Left of Center uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure protection of your data including industry-standard encryption and offline security methods.

Left of Center does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of sixteen. If you are under sixteen, please do not give us any personal data. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personal data to Left of Center, please contact us, and we will try to delete that information from our databases.

These hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of the activities of these third-party websites or any association with their operators.
