In Short: We collect personal Information that you provide to Us (such as when you submit an inquiry). 

The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with Us and the Website, the choices you make and the products and features you use. In general, “Personal Information” means information that can reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your name, phone number, address, and email address). 

We also collect personal Information that you voluntarily provide to Us when you express an interest in obtaining information about Us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Website, or otherwise when you contact Us.

We also collect payment information such as your credit card number (processed by our third-party payment processor) and expiration date, where appropriate to process a financial transaction that you have requested.

We may also collect other Personal Information where you interact with us in-person, online, or by phone or mail in the context of:

• Receiving help through our customer support channels;
• Participation in customer surveys or contests; 
• Making a donation; and 
• Facilitation in the delivery of our Services and to respond to your inquiries.

If you make a donation via the Website, your information will be added to one or more of our supporter lists and databases, and you may be contacted about our other activities, news, and/or fundraising campaigns.

All Personal Information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify Us of any changes or errors to such Personal Information.

If we are relying on your consent to process your Personal Information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your Personal Information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. 

b. Information automatically collected

In Short: When you access and use the Site, Our technology and tools may automatically collect and record certain data about your use of the Site (such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics).

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Website. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Website, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Website and for Our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

More specifically, the information that we may automatically collect includes:

• Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage and performance information that our servers automatically collect when you access or use Our Website and which We record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type and settings and information about your activity in the Website (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called ‘crash dumps’) and hardware settings).
• Device Data. We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet or other device you use to access the Website. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system and system configuration information.
• Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Website. For example, We may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells Us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing Us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. Note, however, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.

In addition, We use social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, and widgets, such as the ‘Share This’ button on our Website. Such features may process your Internet Protocol (IP) address and track which page you are visiting on our Website. We may place a cookie to enable the feature to work correctly. If you are logged in on a certain social media platform and you interact with a widget or button belonging to that social media platform, this information may be recorded to your profile of such social media platform. To avoid this, you should log out from that social media platform before accessing or using the Website. Social media features and widgets may be hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy notices of the companies that provide them. By agreeing to the use of any social media plug-in or related application, you agree to the use of this plugin and consequently the transfer of Personal Information to the corresponding social media service. We have no control over the essence and extent of these transmitted data as well as their additional processing.

c. Information collected from other sources

In Short: We may collect data from public databases, marketing partners, and other outside sources that may concern you. 

In order to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing, offers, and services to you and update our records, We may obtain information about you from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, affiliate programs, data providers, social media plugins, as well as from other third parties. This information includes mailing addresses, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, intent data (or user behavior data), Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, social media profiles, social media URLs and custom profiles, for purposes of targeted advertising and event promotion.

With respect to the Site’s use of cookies and other similar technologies, by adjusting settings on your browser, you may elect not to allow cookies to be placed, and thus opt-out of certain features of the Site and the Site’s automatic collection of certain data about you. 

You may remove certain tracking technologies and opt-out of online behavioral advertising messaging by using the opt-out tools available from the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA Opt-Out Tool) and the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI Opt-Out Tools).

Please note that United States may have different standards for how your data is used and secured than the standards in place in your country. 

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy. To learn more about browser tracking signals and DNT, please visit http://allaboutdnt.org.

c. Verification 

Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine if you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system.

We will only use Personal Information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. If, however, we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.

We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf.
