With Whom We May Share Your Personal Information

We do not sell your Personal Information. To provide our services, your Personal Information may be shared with:

Service providers. We may share your personal information with third party companies and individuals that provide services on our behalf or help us operate the Site (such as customer support, hosting, analytics, email delivery, and database management services). These third parties may use your personal information only as directed or authorized by us and are prohibited from using or disclosing your information for any other purpose.

Professional advisors. We may disclose your personal information to professional advisors, such as lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.

Other Information We Collect

We may collect information that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an identifiable individual, referred to throughout this Privacy Statement as “Other Information,” including browser and device information, App usage data, Internet Protocol address, information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies. Other Information also includes information that has been anonymized or aggregated in a manner that it no longer reveals your specific identity.

De-Identified or Aggregate Information. We use De-Identified Information and Aggregate Information for activities including data analysis and research to gain a greater general understanding of the communities we serve. “De-Identified Information” means information where identifiers have been removed so that it does not directly or indirectly identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. “Aggregate Information” means information about groups or categories of individuals which does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. For example, we may use Aggregate Information to compare the types of services our constituents utilize in one geographic location with another to understand how the two groups are different or similar.

Log Files: Most Internet browsers transmit certain information to Sites that you visit, such as your IP address, device type, screen resolution, operating system version, and internet browser type and version. This information is gathered automatically and stored in log files. We use this information to ensure that the Site functions properly.

Cookies: Cookies are text files, containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your browsing device (such as a computer or smartphone) when you visit a Site. Cookies allow us to recognize your browsing device and preferences and generally help to improve your online experience, as well as to provide us with anonymous information to check the usefulness of, and make improvements to, our Site. Cookies may be placed on your computer and/or mobile device by both us and by third parties with whom we have a relationship, such as web analytics services. You may refuse cookies by activating the setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may not have the same user experience. To learn more about how to manage cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/ (please note that this Site is not connected to us and we are not responsible for its content).

Web Beacons and Pixel Tags: We may utilize a technology called a “web beacon” or “pixel tag”. We may use web beacons to help determine which email messages sent by us were opened and whether a message was acted upon. Web beacons also help analyze the effectiveness of Sites by measuring the number of visitors to a site or how many visitors clicked on key elements of a site.

Third Party Analytics: We also use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics (more info https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en-GB, please note that this Site is not connected to us and we are not responsible for its content) to evaluate the use of our Site. We use these tools to gather non-personal data about users to help us improve our services and user experiences. These analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to perform their services and may combine the information they collect about you on our Site with other information they have collected for their own purposes. This Privacy Policy does not cover such uses of data by third parties.

Your Choices About How We Use and Disclose Other Information

Uses and Disclosures of Other Information. We may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. In some instances, we may combine Other Information with Personal Information. If we do this, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information. For example, we may work with data providers to tailor our communications to you, including research and outreach communications, based on your areas of interest and other information about you. To do this, we may place cookies on your browser and combine IP address or browsing history with other de-identified data (such as a hashed, non-readable e-mail or postal address). We may then communicate with you through mail, email or other channels.

Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s Site.

We aim to comply with requests as soon as reasonably practicable.

Notice to California Residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides California residents with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes California residents’ CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights. These rights are not absolute and, in certain cases, we may decline a request as permitted by law.

Information Rights. California residents have the right to request details of the specific categories and Personal Information collected about them over the past twelve months.

Access Rights. California residents have the right to request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about them during the past 12 months.

Deletion Request Rights. California residents have the right to ask us to delete any of their Personal Information that we have collected and retained, subject to certain limitations. We may deny a Deletion Request and will provide notice of our legal basis for denying such request.

If you are a California resident and wish to exercise one or more of your rights as provided above, please use one of the contact methods provided under “Contacting Us.” We will need to confirm your identity to process your requests to exercise your information, access or deletion rights. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to verify your identity, and understand and respond to the request.

Non-Discrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination. This means that we will not penalize you for exercising your rights by taking actions such as denying you services, increasing the price/rate of services, decreasing service quality, or suggesting that we may penalize you as described above for exercising your rights.

Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Information

The laws in some countries require us to tell you about the lawful grounds we rely on to collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process your Personal Information. To the extent those laws apply, we have several different lawful bases for processing your Personal Information including: (a) as necessary to provide a service or information you request; (b) to comply with legal obligations; (c) based on your consent, and (d) in support of our legitimate interests, where those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. In many cases, we handle Personal Information because it furthers our legitimate business and charitable interests. This includes:

Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Transfer

We are located in the United States but offer our website to users internationally. Your Personal Information may be transferred to the United States or other locations outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities may be entitled to access your Personal Information. Where required, data transfers will be made subject to the terms of the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses or with your consent.
