Specifically, it outlines the types of information that we gather about you while you are using the www.megadroughtusa.com website (the "Site"), and the ways in which we use this information.
This Privacy Policy, including our children's privacy statement, does not apply to any information you may provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through other means (for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail).
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using www.megadroughtusa.com, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Web is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we will post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website. You will be able to check the Effective Date and you can see the "Last updated" date of the policy at the beginning of this page.
By continuing to use www.megadroughtusa.com after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.
We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily supply to us online while using www.megadroughtusa.com (e.g., while on www.megadroughtusa.com or in responding via email to a feature provided on www.megadroughtusa.com). www.megadroughtusa.com only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the event that they have signed up to receive our messaging, attended one of our events, or have purchased one of our products.
www.megadroughtusa.com collects personally identifying information from our users during online registration and online purchasing. Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for registration or opt-in purposes and name, postal address, and credit card information when registering for our events or purchasing our products. All this information is provided to us by you.
We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you
navigate online through www.megadroughtusa.com. For example, we may collect information about
your computer's connection to the Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of
our web pages to you and to measure traffic on www.megadroughtusa.com. We also may use a
standard feature found in browser software called a "cookie" to enhance your experience with www.megadroughtusa.com.
Cookies
are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how
and when visitors use www.megadroughtusa.com, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify
how many unique users visit us, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to
re-enter your preferences on certain areas of www.megadroughtusa.com where you may have
entered preference information before.
www.megadroughtusa.com also may use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as "transparent GIFs") to access cookies and to count users who visit www.megadroughtusa.com or open HTML-formatted email messages.
We use the information we collect from you while you are using www.megadroughtusa.com in a variety of ways, including using the information to customize features; advertising that appears on www.megadroughtusa.com; and, making other offers available to you via email, direct mail or otherwise. We also may provide your information to third parties, such as service providers, contractors and third-party publishers and advertisers for a variety of purposes. Unless you inform us in accordance with the process described below, we reserve the right to use, and to disclose to third parties, all of the information collected from and about you while you are using www.megadroughtusa.com in any way and for any purpose, such as to enable us or a third party to provide you with information about products and services.
If you do not wish your information to be used for these purposes, you must send a letter to the Online Privacy Coordinator whose address is listed at the end of this Privacy Policy requesting to be taken off any lists of information that may be used for these purposes or that may be given or sold to third-parties.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information available for viewing by third parties online - for example on message boards, web logs, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides us. We cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such information.
Some of our third-party advertisers and ad servers that place and present advertising on www.megadroughtusa.com also may collect information from you via cookies, web beacons or similar technologies. These third-party advertisers and ad servers may use the information they collect to help present their advertisements, to help measure and research the advertisements' effectiveness, or for other purposes. The use and collection of your information by these third-party advertisers and ad servers is governed by the relevant third-party's privacy policy and is not covered by our Privacy Policy. Indeed, the privacy policies of these third-party advertisers and ad servers may be different from ours. If you have any concerns about a third party's use of cookies or web beacons or use of your information, you should visit that party's website and review its privacy policy.
www.megadroughtusa.com also includes links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another website or purchase third-party products or services through www.megadroughtusa.com, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services.
We may also make some content, products and services available through our Site or by emailing messages to you through cooperative relationships with third-party providers, where the brands of our provider partner appear on www.megadroughtusa.com in connection with such content, products and/or services. We may share with our provider partner any information you provide, or that is collected, while visiting any pages that are made available in cooperation with our provider partner. In some cases, the provider partner may collect information from you directly, in which cases the privacy policy of our provider partner may apply to the provider partner's use of your information.
The privacy policy of our provider partners may differ from ours. If you have any questions regarding the privacy policy of one of our provider partners, you should contact the provider partner directly for more information.
Be aware that we may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of users of www.megadroughtusa.com or the public.
Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that we sell some or all our assets, or one or more of our websites is acquired by another company, information about our users may be among the transferred assets.
We also use Google Analytics Advertiser Features to optimize our business. Advertiser features include:
By enabling these Google Analytics Display features, we are required to notify our visitors by disclosing the use of these features and that we and third-party vendors use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) or other first-party identifiers, and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to gather data about your activities on our Site.

You can opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting Google's ad settings and/or you may opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
