1. The Scope of this Privacy Policy

Herbert R. & Jeanne C. Mayer Foundation (the “Mayer Foundation,” “we,” or “us”) is committed to respecting your privacy rights and concerns. As such, we have established and implemented this Privacy Policy to inform users of our website (the “Site”), and our grant applicants (collectively, “you”) of what personal information we collect, and how we use, share, and protect such information. If you have any questions regarding this information or our privacy practices, please see the section entitled Contact Us at the end of this Privacy Policy. 

2. Agreement to Terms

All activities which you engage in with us are voluntary. You are not required to provide any personal information to us unless, you choose to access certain features of the Site, reach out to us, or submit an application to us, which may require such information.

In the event of a material change to this Privacy Policy, we will provide a conspicuous message either through the Site, or via an email address that we have in our records for you, informing you of the change. Your continued use of the Site or the grant program (the “Program”) will constitute your acknowledgment of the Policy in its current version and your understanding of the terms of this Policy.
