Privacy Policy
BreastfeedLA is committed to protecting the privacy and rights of our website visitors. This privacy policy is intended to make clear the ways that BreastfeedLA.org may collect, store, protect, and make use of information. We will not collect any personal information from you that you do not volunteer, and we are the sole owner of all information collected on this site. We do not and will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in any way that is not outlined in this statement.
The information we collect
BreastfeedLA does not require users to provide personally identifying information to access most of the website’s content. However, non-personal information (which cannot be associated with a particular individual) may be collected during your visit. By visiting this site, you grant us permission to collect non-personal information and/or aggregate information, which may include location, IP address, browser details, and similar non-identifying details for the purpose of understanding how visitors are using this website. BreastfeedLA may aggregate such information to provide summaries of use of the website and to better understand the interests of users as a group. BreastfeedLA commits to only retain information for as long as necessary and to hold any information received in strict confidence.
Personally identifying information may be required if users wish to sign up for email lists, submit inquiries, or take action on behalf of BreastfeedLA. The information we collect is clearly stated on the web page on which we collect it. For example, our contact form asks for your contact information. Personally identifying information may include a user’s name, job title, affiliation, country, zip code, and email address. This information is collected and maintained by the BreastfeedLA in accordance with this privacy policy.
BreastfeedLA does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from minors without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe that we might have any information from or about anyone under the age of 18, please contact us at info@breastfeedla.org.
How we use and share information
BreastfeedLA will not sell, exchange or release users’ personally identifying information to any third party, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or valid legal processes, to protect the rights and property of BreastfeedLA, or to provide the services or information a user has requested. The information we collect is used to 1) provide improved online content and services; 2) customize the content and/or layout of our site for each individual user; 3) to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our website and protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our website.
We may also disclose user information if required 1) to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws; 2) to respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant in the manner required by the requesting entity; 3) to take appropriate or necessary action against liability or fraudulent, abusive or unlawful uses; or 4) to protect the integrity of our information technology systems.
How we use cookies
Our servers may use “cookies” (a small data file) to track a user’s activity within our site. Cookies do not gather personal information such as email addresses. The information provided by cookies allows BreastfeedLA to measure user trends (such as which domains refer users to our site), to provide personalized content where available, to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer this website more effectively and to gather broad geographic information about where users are accessing our site from. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but this may limit your access to some features of the site.
Security
Keeping your information safe is very important to us. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. We strive to protect your personal information, but we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you send to us, and you do so at your own risk. We use reasonable precautions to keep the personal information you disclose in your browsing and to only release this information to third parties we believe share our commitment to privacy. However, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for the actions of these parties.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. Once you have used these links to leave our site, please note that we have no responsibility for that external site. This privacy statement does not govern other sites. The inclusion of that link on this website does not mean that BreastfeedLA endorses that website, its content, or the organization to which it belongs.

From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in this privacy policy.
