CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
The Girl Scouts of Hawai'i Web site is designed for and towards adults. We do not knowingly solicit and/or collect personal information from children through this Web site.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects the personal information of children under the age of 13. This applies to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. The Act and Rule also cover other types of information—for example, hobbies, interests and information collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms—when they are tied to individually identifiable information. It is important for you to understand this law; we encourage you to read more about COPPA.
If you submit personal information on our Web site, we will contact you to (1) verify your submission and (2) follow-up on the purpose for the submission. For example, if you submit an inquiry about membership in Girl Scouting, we will contact you to verify your request and to answer any questions that you may have about our organization and participating in the Girl Scout Program. We will communicate with you by email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes.
USE OF COOKIES
Visitors should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected by the Girl Scouts of Hawai`i Web site through the use of "cookies." "Cookies" are small text files a Web site can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate the visitor's ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements. Cookies are not programs that come onto a visitor's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If a visitor does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the visitor to deny or accept the cookie feature.

OUR SECURITY SAFEGUARD
The safety and security of your online experience is of the utmost concern to us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of any personal information you choose to disclose as it is transmitted to us via the Web site. SSL is the industry standard in Internet encryption technology, which is a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our Web site servers.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We use PayPal to conduct all online donations and do not receive your credit card number. For more information about PayPal’s privacy policy, please visit https://www.paypal.com/ .

We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
