We respect your privacy and take the protection of your information very seriously. We have compiled this privacy policy so that you know how this website uses personal information, sometimes called “personally identifiable information” – data that can be used to identify an individual website user. Following is a description of how we collect, protect, and utilize personally identifiable information.
What personal information does the website collect?
When filling out an application, donating, or contacting us on this website, as applicable, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, or other details. When you voluntarily provide us with information about yourself, you are consenting to our collection, use, disclosure, and storage of the personal information you provide. This information may be stored with our third-party vendors (example: MailChimp) so that we may utilize their services.
When do we collect personal information?
We collect information from you when you subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a form, or enter information on our site.
For example, if you sign up for our newsletter, we will create an email list through our third-party email management vendors and send you our newsletter. The information collected for this purpose may include your email address and your name. You can stop receiving our email newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions included in every email (usually at the bottom of each email). You will not receive spam from us by signing up for our email newsletter.
How do we use personal information?
We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:
- To personalize the content we display for you;
- To improve our website and communications;
- To follow up with you after correspondence (form entry, email, or phone inquiries);
- To process your donations, if applicable; and/or
- To ask for feedback on our website content.
How do we protect personal information?
Each time a donation is made, we use an external PCI-compliant payment gateway to handle sensitive information like credit card numbers, and billing information. We do not store or handle any payment information on our website. Because our website does not handle payment information, we do not use vulnerability scanning to PCI standards. However, we regularly use malware scanning software on our website to identify potentially malicious code.
