Imagination Library of Ventura County (“ILVC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you may provide when visiting ImaginationLibraryVentura.com.
This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.
Information We May Collect
Information You Provide to Us
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:
- Contact us by email
- Ask to volunteer or participate in our activities
- Request information
- Communicate with us regarding donations, events, or the Imagination Library program
- Submit information through forms that may be available on our website
This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and any other information you choose to provide.
Donations
Imagination Library of Ventura County works with the Ventura County Library Foundation (VCLF), which serves as our local financial and administrative partner.
When you make an online donation, you may be directed to a website, payment processor, or service operated by another organization. Payment information, including credit card information, may be collected and processed directly by that third party rather than by Imagination Library of Ventura County.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website or payment service before providing personal or financial information.
Children’s Information
Imagination Library of Ventura County supports a program designed to provide books to children from birth to age five. However, this website is intended primarily for parents, guardians, donors, volunteers, and other adults.
We do not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information directly from children under the age of 13.
Registration for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library may be handled through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library or another authorized program partner. Information provided through those services is subject to the privacy practices of the organization operating that service.
