CATALYSTS FOUNDATION PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is of great importance to CATALYSTS Foundation (“the Foundation”). As a user of the Foundation’s website (the “Site”), you are valued by the Foundation, and we will take appropriate measures to protect the personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) provided by and collected from you on the Site in connection with the functions, facilities, community initiatives, fundraising events and volunteer information offered on the Site.
What Information Does the Foundation Collect About Site Visitors?
At the Site, we do not collect Personal Information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. The Site gathers data, such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, e-mail addresses, etc., only when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. Personal Information that we collect falls in to three primary categories.
Information that Site Visitors Give Us: We may receive and store the information that you enter at the Site, provide to us on a “Contact Us” page, or “Donate” page, or give to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide some or all of the information which we request. This information is used solely by the Foundation and potentially third parties (see below) in furtherance of the Foundation’s programming activities.
Automatic Information: Whenever you interact with the Site, we receive and store certain types of information. For example, we may use “cookies” to obtain information when your web browser accesses this website. A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier, which we transfer to your computer via your Web browser and store on your computer’s hard drive. When you visit the Site, our server(s) automatically recognize and log information that your browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, date/time of the request, etc. Our server(s) do not recognize your email address unless you logged in and provided it to us. We collect this information, particularly information about your browser, to improve Site usability.
Email Communications: In order to make the email we send you more helpful and relevant to your interests, we receive and store certain types of information. For instance, if your computer supports this functionality, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email we send you. We may also receive a confirmation when you follow a hyperlink from one of our email messages to our website. If you want to stop receiving email from us, simply hit reply and type “unsubscribe” in the subject field or contact us by email at: cchapman@catalystsfoundation.org.
Does the Foundation Share the Information It Receives?
We are not in the business of selling information about our Site visitors. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you and we treat it with great care and respect. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your data with certain third parties. We will share personally identifiable information with third parties when (i) the person submitting the information authorizes us to share it, or (ii) we are required to by law.
Access to Information About You
If you desire to review your own personal information, to correct existing information, or to remove your information, please contact the Foundation via email at cchapman@catalystsfoundation.org. If you request removal of your personal information, you acknowledge that residual information may continue to reside in the Foundation’s records and archives, but the Foundation will not use that information for commercial purposes. The Foundation reserves the right to maintain your personal information if the Foundation has suspended, limited, or terminated your access to our website for violating the Foundation’s Terms of Use.
What Choices Do I Have?
As outlined in this Privacy Policy, you can always choose not to provide information, not to visit this Site, and not to use any of the Foundation’s Services; however, doing so may prevent you from making a donation or accessing other valuable features of the website.
Links to Third Party Sites
You may be able to access third-party websites through links available on the Site. You understand and agree that your use of such third-party sites will be governed by the privacy policies of those sites and not by this Privacy Policy. The Foundation will not be responsible for the actions of the operators of such third-party websites.
Children
The Foundation does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide information on this Site without their permission.
Terms of Use, Notices, and Revisions
