PRIVACY POLICY (Continued)
Information Sharing
IDEAS xLab will not release information gathered on our platform to third parties except those non-profits or public entities participating in our Arts and Innovation Community, including the University of Louisville. We will not provide, rent or sell personal information to third parties for marketing programs or any other purpose. State law restricts the use of personally identifiable information for commercial purposes. Information will not be provided to State Agencies or Law Enforcement except under subpoena in official Court capacity or as a necessary part of a pending court action.
Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
Except as otherwise permitted by law, IDEAS xLab does not knowingly collect and use or disclose the personally identifiable information of a child under the age of 13.
Children under the age of 13 are not eligible to use services that require submission of personal information and should not submit any personal information to us. This includes submitting personal information to the website as part of a user profile or personalization profile. If you are a child under the age of 13, you can use these services only if used together with your parents or guardians. Seek guidance from your parents or guardians if you are under the age of 13.
If we decide to begin collecting personal information from children under the age of 13, we will notify parents that it is being requested, disclose the reasons for collecting it, and disclose our intended use of it. We will seek verifiable parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information. If we do collect such information, parents may request information on the type of data being collected, view their child’s information, and, if they choose, prohibit us from making further use of their child’s information. We will not provide personal information about children to third parties.

IDEAS xLab may use cookies to customize and personalize your service transactions with or community. For example, our site allows donations and accepts payments. In the event the Internet connection is broken or you wish to suspend donation and resume at a later time, the cookie on your computer will maintain your computer’s identity information.

Email Correspondence
If you send an E-mail message or complete an unsecured web form, which contains personal information, we collect and store the following information:
- Any personally identifying information, which you choose to provide (for example your mailing address), in an email message or web form requesting information or if you send any information in a Live Support session or via survey response, which contains personal information, we collect and store the following information: commenting on policies, issues, or events. Information collected in this manner is used solely for information and, in some cases, to respond to you.

Electronic Payments
It is the intent of IDEAS xLab not to use the ACH system for transactions in violation of U.S. Law, including the sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). It is also the intent of the agency to be in compliance with the “International ACH Transaction (IAT) rules” that are part of the NACHA Operating Rules. Accordingly, all payments made through this website/online application are intended only for payments not associated with a foreign bank account, which would classify it as an “International ACH Transaction (IAT)” under the NACHA Operating Rules.
Since this website’s payment application does not accommodate IAT transactions, payers that would be considered an IAT payer should use some other method of remitting funds to the IDEAS xLab. Alternative forms of payment would include check or credit card.
