This includes but is not limited to bikewalkkc.org, kc.bcycle.com, tourdebierkc.com, walktoschoolkc.com, and kcbikemonth.com.

VISITOR CONSENT
By visiting our Web Sites, you give BikeWalkKC permission to process your Personal Information according to this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information may be processed in the country where it was collected, as well as in countries where privacy laws may be less stringent, including the United States.
GENERAL SECURITY
BikeWalkKC takes reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, and unauthorized alteration of Personal Information under our control.
BikeWalkKC servers are protected by a firewall, technical mistakes are possible, and BikeWalkKC cannot fully eliminate every security risk associated with gathering Personal Information on our Web Sites.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you access any part of our Web Sites, our Web server software automatically logs information provided by your network connection and Web browser software, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your network connection and the type of Web browser and operating system that you are using.
Our Web server may also log the URL of the file that you are requesting, the current date and time, and the URL of the last Web page requested by your Web browser. BikeWalkKC analyzes this aggregated information to learn more about how visitors use our Web Sites, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track visitor movement, and to gather general demographic information for reporting and sponsorship purposes. We do not attempt to match the Personal Information of individual visitors to information logged by our server.
To participate in BikeWalkKC’s membership program and events, a visitor will usually be required to submit their Personal Information, including name, postal address and email address; additional demographic information — including education level, ethnicity and salary — is optional.
BikeWalkKC sometimes contracts with external companies to gather this information, as in the case of event registration, each of which has their own privacy policy governing the use of Personal Information.
Visitors to these sites are encouraged to read the privacy policies of those sights as well. BikeWalkKC retains Personal Information so that we can contact users about site-related topics in which they have expressed interest, or which we believe may be of interest to them.
We also analyze this Personal Information and use it to guide our business goals and to better serve our audience. From time to time, BikeWalkKC receives Personal Information about visitors of its Web Sites via offline sources like telephone or fax. We may use this in combination with visitor information collected online in order to improve the services we provide.
WHEN WE MAY CONTACT YOU
BikeWalkKC regularly sends email alerts to let visitors know about upcoming events and news. We may also email visitors about services offered by outside partner organizations. These emails will always originate from BikeWalkKC, not from the partner organization.
HOW TO OPT OUT
To unsubscribe from topic-specific email updates from BikeWalkKC such as our E-newsletter and Event Announcements, you can remove your name from the mailing list(s) by following the instructions at the bottom of the email message.
UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION
If a visitor’s Personal Information changes, BikeWalkKC will endeavor to correct, update, or remove the personal data that was provided to us. Otherwise, visitors can use the “contact us” form in the “about us” section of the bikewalkkc.org homepage to contact us, or they may call us at 816-205-7056.

We may request information from visitors via surveys on our Web Sites. This information may include demographic data (such as zip code and age), and is intended for analytical use and will not be used to identify individuals.

DISCLOSING INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We share aggregated information about our visitors with our partners, sponsors, and donors. BikeWalkKC will never share e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses with any businesses or organizations.

If a visitor clicks on one of our banner ads or text ads that are placed on another Web site, he or she is directed to a BikeWalkKC Web page.
