2. Personal Information:
We use
the personal information you provide to us voluntarily to send information to you that you have requested and to acknowledge contributions that you have made. The specific use of your personal information varies,
depending on how you contact us and what you request.
When you sign up to receive newsletters and/or program and organizational news material online, you must provide your name, e-mail address, and mailing
address. We never sell, rent or trade your e-mail address to any third party.
We will attempt to fulfill your inquiries by e-mail as soon as possible and to the best of our ability. Your name and address may also
be added to our US Mail list. From time to time we will send additional information about particular charitable activities that may be of interest to you.
We may use third party commercial vendors to
perform activities on our behalf, such as fulfilling mailing campaigns, processing credit card payments, managing mailing lists, and delivering packages. These third parties are prohibited from using your information
for any purpose other than the specific purposes for which they have been retained. We may exchange our US Mail address list with similar Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) organizations we deem relevant and
appropriate. For information regarding "opting out" of use of your name and address in regard to mailing lists, see section 5 below.
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable
information when we believe such disclosure is appropriate, necessary or required to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us or to protect the rights, property, or safety
of the organization's staff, our patrons, or others. This may include, but is not limited to, exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
3. Aggregated Tracking Information:
We may analyze visitors' use of our web site by tracking information such as page views, traffic flow, search terms, and click-throughs. We will use this information to
improve our web site and to be more responsive to your informational needs. We may share this anonymous traffic and demographic information in aggregate form with our network sites and for-profit business partners for
marketing purposes. Presently, we do not use web advertisements. If we get paid to place an advertisement on our sites we will not share any information with advertisers that can identify an individual visitor.
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to
analyze trends, to administer the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
Though we may use a
third party web analysis service to improve our web site performance and visitor experience, no personally identifiable information, such as names or e-mail address, will be disclosed to such service.
4. Our Cookies:
A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser when you visit our site. Cookies enable our systems to recognize your computer, so that we
can provide you unique information and features. We may use our cookies to track your visits to our site and the information you are most interested in on our site. You can set your web browser to warn you before
accepting cookies or to block cookies. If you block cookies, you may not be able to use certain site features or functions.
5. Notification of Changes:
We reserve the right to modify this privacy
statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this web site and any other places we may deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will
notify our patrons in the most reasonable way possible. Visitors are always able to contact us.
If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our services, you may correct,
update, delete or deactivate your information as follows:
Email: To correct, update, delete or deactivate your information or unsubscribe from our e-mail correspondence, send e-mail to info@africanrelief.org.
US Mail: To change your address, suppress your name from our mailing list (for paper correspondence) or to opt-out of third-party mail, send email to info@africanrelief.org. |
