Links to Other Websites

The Site may contain links to other websites. For example, we may link to third-party sites to facilitate donations or purchases. Any personal information you provide on such linked pages is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party’s privacy policy, and not this privacy policy. We encourage you to learn about their privacy and security practices and policies before providing them with personal information.

Social Sharing Features

The Site may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button), which let you share actions you take on our Site with other media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on your privacy settings for the relevant social media site. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.

Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others

We may allow others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the web and in mobile applications. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Site and other websites and applications, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in apps, links clicked, and conversion information. This information may be used by the Campaign and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Site and other websites, and better understand your online activity.

For example, we may use Google Analytics and Remarketing with Google Analytics or other remarketing tools to advertise online. Using these tools enables third-party vendors, including Google, to show our ads on sites across the Internet. Such third-party vendors may use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to our Site.

Transfer of Information to the U.S.

The Campaign is based in the United States and is directed to United States residents. We process and store information in the United States. While we do not direct our services to residents of other countries, it is possible that those residents may access and use the Site. If you are located outside the United States, we and our service providers may transfer your information to, or store or access to your information in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. By providing personal information, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to the United States and the use of your personal information, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If we collect personal information from European Union residents, we strive to do so in a manner in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 (the “GDPR”), which includes acknowledgment of European Union residents’ rights, including the following:

to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal information about you to which you have previously given consent;
to object to processing of personal information about you for the purpose of direct marketing; and
to have incorrect personal information about you corrected.

European Union residents also have the right to obtain a copy of the personal information we have about you, although we reserve the right to charge a fee for this.

The effect of an opt-out, if successful, will be to stop targeted advertising, but it will still allow the collection of usage data for certain purposes (e.g., research, analytics and internal site operation purposes).

We use these cookies for a variety of purposes, including to remember your log-in status and viewing preferences from your previous use of our online services for when you later return to that online service. Our Site and online services use the following categories of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: We may use cookies required for system administration and to prevent fraudulent activity. We are not required to obtain your consent to use cookies that are strictly necessary.

Your California Privacy Rights

California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us at Campaign Support.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals for California Residents

California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b) (as amended effective January 1, 2014) provides that California residents are entitled to know how the Campaign responds to “Do Not Track” browser settings. The Campaign does not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a standard once one is created.

Categories of Personal Information Sold and Disclosed for a Business Purpose

Pursuant to the California Shine the Light Law (Cal. Civil Code Section 1798.83), California residents have the right to request from a business, with whom the California resident has an established business relationship, certain information with respect to the types of personal information the business shares with third parties for direct marketing purposes by such third party and the identities of the third parties with whom the business has shared such information during the immediately preceding calendar year.

Although, as a non-profit with fewer than 20 employees, the Campaign is not subject to the California Shine the Light Law, any future disclosures to services providers will strive to be consistent, however, with the spirit of the Shine the Light Law. In the future, we may share your personal information with service providers as necessary to perform a campaign business purpose, including fundraising, publicity, sponsorships, e-commerce or other campaign related activities, and in a manner consistent with applicable law.

Further, as a non-profit, we are not a “business” subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) that goes into effect on January 1, 2020. Any disclosures to services providers will strive to be consistent, however, with the spirit of the CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.135 as of its effective date on January 1, 2020).

Children

The Sites are not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children (including information concerning a child or that child’s parents or guardians, any screen or user name that functions as online contact information for a child, any photograph, video, or audio file containing a child’s image or voice) directly from users under the age of thirteen (13) or from other web sites or services directed at children. Consistent with the Federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (“COPPA”), we will not knowingly request or collect personal information from any child under the age of thirteen (13) in the United States without obtaining the required consent from the appropriate parent or guardian. Children may access and browse the Site without disclosing any personal information. We will apply material changes to this Privacy Policy to conform with applicable law, including any applicable provisions of COPPA that require parental consent. Please visit www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens.html for information from the Federal Trade Commission about protecting children’s privacy online. If you have any reservations, questions or concerns about your child’s access to the Site or how information that your child provides is used by us, please contact us.
