Collection and use of personal information
Donor information
If you make a donation, either online or otherwise, we will request certain personally identifiable information about you (such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card information). We use this information to process your donation and communicate with you about it. We also receive personally identifiable information from partner organizations when you make a donation through them and elect to share your information with us. We also use publicly available information about our donors from third-party sources to personalize communications with donors and improve donor retention. We check in with donors throughout the year about whether you are interested in donating again. In addition, we may use this information to keep you updated about our work if you explicitly indicate that you would like us to do so. You can choose to stop receiving check-in and update information by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the materials or by contacting us at suppport.care@jfithand.net. We may use such information to evaluate the success of our promotional efforts, to analyze website usage, to improve our website's content, layout, security, and services, as otherwise reasonably necessary for our internal administrative purposes, and/or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. These companies and advisors have access to donor personally identifiable information to the extent needed to perform their functions: name, address, telephone number, and email address. Additionally, vendors that we have retained to process payments from donors will receive your credit card information to enable them to secure, validate, and otherwise process any donations that you make to us. IThand requires that all vendors and advisors keep such information confidential and that they not use such information for purposes other than the functions they are assisting us with.
We do not provide any of your personal information to third parties for profiling or targeted advertising purposes. We do not sell, rent, or give donor personally identifiable information to any other party not under the employ of, or in a direct advisory or vendorship role to, IThand , with one exception: if you give us permission to share your name, contact information, and details of your donation with one or more of our recommended charities. We will not share your information with these organizations unless you explicitly give us permission to do so.
We may disclose to third parties aggregate statistics that we have created regarding donations made to us, but these statistics do not include any of your personally identifying information. The information given includes, for example, total number of donors and total amount of donations within specific periods of time. Except for the purposes and in the manner described in this Privacy Policy, we will not share or provide access to donor personally identifiable information without first obtaining donor consent.
Other Information Submitted
Through our site or otherwise, you may decide to submit personally identifiable information (such as your name, postal address, and email address) for purposes other than donating (such as receiving an email newsletter or further information as to a particular topic, or commenting on our blog). We collect and store this information and use it for the purposes for which you submitted it. We may use such information for our promotional efforts, to analyze website usage, and to improve our website's content, layout, and services. We do not share this information with any third parties except those that assist us with certain functions, as described above. IThansd requires that these third parties keep such information confidential and that they not use such information for purposes other than the functions they are assisting us with. If you'd like to opt out of receiving newsletters or other communications from us, you can follow the unsubscribe instructions in the materials or contact us atsuppport.care@jfithand.net.
Other Disclosure
In addition to the purposes that we have described above, please be advised that we may also disclose your personal information, as required by law, to federal, state, local, other governmental authorities, or law enforcement agencies, or to third parties pursuant to law enforcement inquiries, court orders, subpoenas, and similar lawful demands or legal processes. In addition, we may sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or reorganization, or in the event of bankruptcy..
Security
We require that the vendors we work with to process your online donation payments use industry-standard encryption and security protocols, and that all vendors processing check and credit card transactions received on our behalf confirm their compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), and otherwise provide services to us in a manner that is consistent with the prevailing practices and standards applicable to their industry. We follow commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction or loss, or unauthorized disclosure, access, or use. The personal information that you provide is stored in a secure location and accessible only by designated employees trained in the proper handling of personal information, or by vendors assisting with certain functions. We employ industry-standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, and site monitoring to protect your personal information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the organization. You should be aware, however, that "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet or in any method of storage; third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or stored information. If we learn of a security breach involving your personal information, we will inform you of the breach in accordance with applicable law.
Website visitor information
You can browse the ITHand Firm Care Foundation website without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. The information we gather during browsing comes from three sources. First, standard server logs collect information such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system, the site that referred you to us, the files you downloaded, the pages you visited, and the dates/times of those visits. Second, if you have come into the site from one of our newsletters, emails, or other outreach communications, or from a site that has requested a special link to us, we may track the information provided in that link, in order to help us match referring sites to donations made. Third, some information is gathered by cookies. We may use such information to evaluate the success of our promotional efforts, to analyze website usage, to improve our website's content, layout, security, and services, as reasonably necessary for our internal administrative purposes, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as pixels and web beacons (collectively referred to as cookies), when you visit our website or make an online donation. We might store some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” (i.e., a small piece of text that stores information on your browser in your computer's hard drive) or similar file (pixel or web beacon). We use cookies for our website's functionality and to expand functionality, analyze trends, gather broad demographic information, and monitor site traffic patterns that can help us further develop and improve the design and functionality of our site and our promotional materials.
