F. External Websites

The Site may contain links to websites of third parties who: (1) are not affiliated with First Ascent; (2) are outside First Ascent’s control; or (3) are not covered by this Policy (“Third-Party Websites”). Links provided to Third-Party Websites on the Site are provided to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply reliability or endorsement by us of the content of any such Third-Party Websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of Third-Party Websites, which may collect and use information from you in a manner different than how we do so; accordingly, the use of such Third-Party Websites is entirely at your own risk.

Other parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use First Ascent’s Site or services.

G. Cookies

In addition to information you may provide directly to First Ascent, First Ascent and its business partners may automatically collect and store information about you and your use of the website through cookies, tracking pixels, and other technologies (collectively, “Tools”). Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. First Ascent and our business partners may collect, use, and modify this information to understand better, customize, and improve your experience with the website and other websites, services, and offerings as well as to manage our advertising. This information is used for web analytics services that leverage these Tools to help us understand how visitors engage with and navigate the First Ascent Site, e.g., to track usage statics relating to how and when pages on the website are visited and by how many visitors. We are also able to offer our visitors a more customized and relevant experience on the website by delivering, through the use of these Tools, content and functionality based on your preferences and interests. If you have provided us with information, e.g., through a registration or a request for certain materials, we may associate that information with information gathered through the Tools. This allows us to offer increased personalization and functionality.

H. Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on DNT, the browser sends a message to websites requesting that they don’t track the user. Currently, there is no standardized way to respond to such signals, and we do not respond to such signals at this time. For information about DNT, visit www.allaboutdnt.org.

I. Security

First Ascent has implemented security measures designed to protect information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no security program is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of information.

J. Use by Minors

The First Ascent Site is not designed for children or minors under the age of 18. We do not intend to or knowingly collect such information.
