Last Updated: January 10, 2011

Welcome to the Web site of Lumana, a Washington nonprofit corporation (“Lumana,” “we,” or “us”). This privacy policy describes our collection of information from users of our Web site at www.lumana.org (the "Site") and the services we provide on the Site (the “Services”), as well as our use and disclosure of that information. By using our Site or our Services, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Personal Information

“Personal information,” as used in this policy, is information that specifically identifies a person, such as a person’s name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address. Personal information also includes information about a person’s activities, such as information about his or her activity on our Site or our Services, and demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences, when any of this information is linked to personal information that identifies that person.

Personal information does not include "aggregate" or other non-personally identifiable information. Aggregate information is information that we collect about a group or category of products, services, or users that is not personally identifiable or from which individual identities are removed. We may use and disclose aggregate information, and other non-personally identifiable information, for various purposes.

For example, the Site may contain contact tools where you may sign up to receive updates from us, and may permit you to make donations online. We also collect personal information when you request information about our services, request help or support, or otherwise communicate with us using contact forms or other methods for contacting us on our Site or our Services. We may collect personal information such as name, credit card information, e-mail address, mailing address, and other demographic information in these manners.

If we link or associate any information gathered through passive means with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information under this policy. Otherwise, we use information collected by passive means in non-personally identifiable form only.

We do not have access to, or control over, these third-party means of passive data collection.

We limit the personal information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their work for us.
