In connection with these activities, we may collect the following Personal Information about you: name, address, telephone number, company name, email address, and credit/debit card or other payment information. All payments will be secured through Network for Good, a third party payment processing company.

This Website may passively collect certain kinds of Personal Information during your visit including through the use of cookies and Google Analytics. Cookies are small text files sent from a website to the hard drive of a user's computer to store bits of information related to that user such as IP addresses, navigational data, server information and user preferences. We use Google Analytics and cookies for standard Website traffic analysis and to improve our Website content and display. You may configure your Internet browser to notify you when a cookie is sent (giving you the option to decide whether to accept it or not), and to reject or remove cookies. However, if you reject or remove cookies, you may not be able to access certain pages or use important functions on this Website.

We use the Personal Information described in this section to process your donations, to notify of volunteer and other opportunities for which you have requested information, to send you newsletters and to respond to other requests for information. We may also from time to time use your Personal Information to send you automated email messages when you have opted-in to the receipt of such communications. You may opt-out of receiving email messages by checking the box beneath where you enter your email address at the time of submitting your Personal Information to us. You may also opt-out of receiving email messages at any time by clicking an 'unsubscribe' link contained in any promotional or other emails that we send to you. We will not share your Personal Information with other organizations except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Third Party Service Providers

We engage third parties to perform services in connection with the operation of this Website and our organization. Examples of these services may include website hosting, payment processing and authorization, and promotional material distribution. We provide Personal Information to these third parties, but we authorize them to use this Personal Information only in connection with the services they perform on our behalf. In addition, such parties are bound by contract to establish reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information form unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

We may also disclose your Personal Information to protect our rights or property, to enforce our terms of use and legal notices, as required or permitted by law, or at the request of government regulators or other law enforcement officials and the courts (including the issuance of a valid subpoena). We shall have no duty to notify you of such compliance with the law.

We will not use or share you Personal Information in ways unrelated to those described in this Privacy Policy without first notifying you and offering you a choice as to whether or not we may use your Personal Information in this different manner.

Data Security

Pursuant to applicable regulations, we maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. We use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect your payment card information that we collect when you make a donation. Unfortunately, no information security system can be 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of the Personal Information against any possible loss or unauthorized access.
