Information users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive electronic communications such as emails and podcasts, to participate in our online discussion forums, to email a friend, to participate in an online advocacy campaign, to make an online donation, and to purchase a good or service from our online store.

Aggregated tracking information. CFI analyzes visitor demographic and traffic statistics to improve our websites. Under no circumstances does CFI divulge such information about an individual user to a third party.

Personal Data
