The Carol Ann & Ralph V. Haile / US Bancorp Foundation Trust (the "Foundation") respects your privacy and believes that the best way to serve you on the Internet is with honesty, accountability, and adherence to legal standards. We are sensitive to the issue of privacy and have structured our online activities to maximize your control over the disclosure of your own personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy supplements our general Terms of Use Agreement, which we urge you to read. By using the Foundation’s Web site (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and by the Terms of Use Agreement.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
The Foundation regularly reviews the Privacy Policy to ensure that it provides an appropriate level of protection for your personal information. If we make any substantial changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on our home page and by posting the date of the most recent revisions to the Privacy Policy on this page. Please return to this Privacy Policy from time to time to make sure that you are current and up-to-date on the policy, as your continued use of the Site indicates your agreement to the revised terms. Any changes to the Privacy Policy will become effective immediately upon being posted, unless we indicate otherwise.
Personal Information
The Foundation will not collect personally identifiable information about you when you visit the Site unless you voluntarily choose to provide such information to the Foundation. If you choose to identify yourself voluntarily by sending an email, for example, the Site may collect personally identifiable information to respond to your request. Personally identifiable information may include your name, address, telephone number, and email address. Any personal information you provide is submitted at your discretion.
The Foundation works closely with consultants, agencies, and other nonprofit organizations that may perform functions on our behalf, such as providing program information to our visitors, collecting electronic grant proposals, evaluating programs, sending email, and managing data. These entities may have access to your personal information (e.g., email address) only to the extent necessary to perform their functions and they may not use it for any other purpose. Other than for the specific purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your personal information to any third parties unless we obtain your prior consent or are legally compelled to do so.

This Site contains links to Web sites operated by third parties. These links are provided to you for informational purposes only; once you connect with another site by choosing a link, you will no longer be on the Foundation’s Site. The posting of third party Web sites does not represent the Foundation’s endorsement or support of the linked organization, its programs or services, or the content included on its Web site. Please review each linked Web site’s privacy policy, and if you do not agree to be bound by the terms of the policy governing that site, terminate your visit to that site. We are not responsible for the privacy policies, practices, or content of Web sites operated by third parties. For more information about linking to third party Web sites, please review our Terms of Use Agreement.
