3. Types of Information Collected and Uses of that Information

We collect two types of information about users of the Website: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.

  • Personally Identifiable Information

What it is. Personally identifiable information (personal information) is information that identifies a specific user. When you engage in certain activities through the Website, such as signing up for our email newsletter, registering for an event, or making a donation, we will ask you to provide certain information. It is optional for you to engage in these activities. However, if you chose to engage in these activities, we may ask you to provide certain personal information about yourself, such as your first and last name, postal address, email address, telephone number and, if applicable, payment information. Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide will be identified as mandatory and some will be identified as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information for an activity that requires it, you will not be permitted to engage in that activity.

How we use it. We use personal information to fulfill your requests. We may also use such information to troubleshoot, resolve disputes, accomplish administrative tasks, enforce our agreements with you (including our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy), comply with applicable law and cooperate with law enforcement.

  • Non-Personally Identifiable Information

What it is. Non-personally identifiable information is information that does not identify a specific user. This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the website you visited before coming to the Website, the URL of the website you visit after leaving the Website, the type of browser you are using and your Internet Protocol address. We, and/or authorized third-party service providers may automatically collect this information when you visit the Website through the use of electronic tools like Cookies and Web beacons or Pixel tags, as described below.

How we use it. We may use non-personally identifiable information to administer the Website, analyze trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.

4. Release of Information and Security

Except as set forth below, we will not willfully disclose or share your personal information with a third party without first receiving your permission.

  • We may share your information with Authorized Service Providers. We may provide some of our services through third-parties. These service providers perform functions on our behalf, like providing technical support or processing donation payments. We may share your personal information with such service providers in order to fulfill your requests or operate the Website.
  • Protection and Enforcement. We may disclose personal information when we believe such disclosure is appropriate to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, enforce or apply our Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use or other agreements, or protect the rights, property or safety of the Website, its users or others.
  • Business Transfers. Like any other business, we could merge with or be acquired by another company. If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the information we maintain, including personal information. However, personal information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.

We maintain reasonable safeguards in order to protect the personal information which we collect. However, we cannot guarantee that your personal information will remain completely secure.
