Privacy and the Links on Our Web Site

Providing the public with information about leadership and community issues through our Web site is an essential part of SVL's efforts to carry out its mission.

Links IN-We welcome links to our Web site, www.leadershipsunnyvale.org, from other non-profits, government agencies, sponsors, and others who wish to help extend our mission of providing leadership training to the people of Silicon Valley. We ask that you contact us to let us know of your intentions to link to our site, and indicate the purpose of the link. No link may present or display a product or activity in a way that states or implies SVL's endorsement. SVL and its program, Leadership Sunnyvale, does not endorse any commercial organization or products.

Links OUT-SVL's Web site, www.leadershipsunnyvale.org, features links to other non-profit organization Web sites and corporate sponsors of SVL and its program, Leadership Sunnyvale. We do not routinely "out-link" to private, commercial or other similar Web sites, other than current corporate sponsors of the SVL's programs and services. However, on a case-by-case basis, we will consider requests from such groups or persons to out-link to their Web sites. SVL will grant such requests only where it is determined that such links will clearly support our mission and where we have concluded that such links will not in any way jeopardize our reputation, independence, objectivity, or mission.

From time to time, SVL also may decide on its own, not based on any request, to out-link to private, commercial or other Web sites. The same criteria described above will apply. Such links may be short or long-term, at the discretion of the organization.

Contact

To be considered for out-links from www.leadershipsunnyvale.org, contact: Jim Telfer, via e-mail: , or (408) 716-1837.
