our agency or to contact the website visitor when necessary or requested. Financial information and related
demographic data that is collected is used solely for the purposes indicated on the respective form where such
information is submitted (such as, for example, to make a donation to CARE or to purchase admittance to a
special event).
CARE reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of aggregate, non-personally-identifying user behavior
and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of various areas on the website and to use such
