How EDC Collects and Uses Information

1. Resale or disclosure of information to third parties

Some of the EDC Web sites maintain mailing list databases of personally 'identifiable information that users voluntarily supply (e.g. names, email addresses, phone numbers, street addresses and areas of interest). This information is used to inform those who have opted to receive news and information about our organization's events or to pre-populate forms with your information.

EDC does not sell, rent or lease any personal information collected through our sites. On occasion, we may share personal information with other organizations that have missions and activities similar to ours. For example, we may share a subset of our list with another organization that works to increase the capacity of nonprofit organizations. A specific EDC project or program also may share personal information with other programs of EDC or with affiliated organizations.

If you do not want EDC to share your personal information, you can opt out by contacting us at info@edc.org. To change your personal information in our database, please email us at info@edc.org.
