The Eureka! Project and The Society of California Pioneers are committed to protecting your privacy when you visit our website. We do not collect your personally identifiable information unless you are visiting our website and knowingly provide this information. By using this website, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Procedure. When you provide personally identifiable information via this website, you consent to our collection and use of it as defined in this Privacy Procedure.
When we collect personally identifiable information from you, we generally require only the basic information needed for us to provide the service you have requested.

Security measures
The Eureka! Project and The Society of California Pioneers’ secure server software uses industry-standard technology such as firewalls and secure socket layers (SSL) for encryption of your data. However, no transmission of data over the internet can be guaranteed as 100 percent secure. Although we make diligent efforts to safeguard your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to us.
