Information Uses and Sharing
Our Use of Information You Provide
When you supply information about yourself, we use that information for the purpose for which it was submitted and, when required, to comply with a law, regulation, court order, or other legal process. We may also use that information to contact you about other activities or fundraising campaigns at The Language Harbor.

We may share personal information only as needed with trusted service providers who help us operate our website, process transactions, provide services, or comply with legal obligations; provided those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
Usage Tracking of Non-Personal Information
The Language Harbor tracks user traffic patterns that are not associated with individual users to help make the website more useful and for other business purposes. Macro-level, non-personal analytics, such as visitor volume, may be used to attract potential sponsors or grantmakers.
Information Security
We restrict access to personal information to directors, employees, contractors, and agents of The Language Harbor who need that information to operate, develop, or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination, if they fail to meet those obligations.
Your information is stored on servers located inside and outside the United States. We and our agents who assist with hosting and security use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We are not responsible for the unlawful actions of third parties.
