log files, clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a profile of our

Third Party Advertising

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We do not employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web
Beacons/Web Bugs), that help websites manage content on our site by
informing them of what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics
with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used
to track the online movements of Web users. The main difference between
the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller,
about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not
use clear gifs in any way. In addition, we do not use clear gifs in
our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by
the recipients.

announcements. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended
for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not
opt-out of these communications, though they can inform us that they
do not wish to receive such announcements through regular E-mail.. However,
any such communications about notifications of service disruption would
not be promotional in nature.

and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email
or phone in accordance with the users' wishes.

In the unlikely event that The Family Systems Theory Center
goes through a reorganization, such as a future leadership-topics
group wanting to use this website, such as a reorganization would
not involve a transfer of contact information of members of the group
to the new group. In the case of such a transfer of information or
use of this website's posted information by another group, any personal
information such as names or contact information that appears on
pasword-protected and restricted web pages would be erased before
the website would be transferred to the use or oversight of the new
group.
