Effective Date March 24, 2021
This privacy policy (the “Policy”) serves to notify you of the current privacy practices associated with Women Cross DMZ (“we” or “us” or “our”). We take our obligation to keep any information you provide us with safe and secure very seriously. This Policy covers our treatment of personal information collected by us through this website or through any other means.
Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable that can be used to identify or contact you. We may collect the following types of personal information: your name, your email address, your mailing address (if user chooses to supply that information), geolocation information, and IP address.
Geolocation information, however, is only maintained in aggregate form. In addition, IP address is anonymized upon collection.
We collect your personal information when you visit our website, contact us (either through our website, social media accounts, or email), when you sign up for our newsletter (either through our website, email, or at our events), when you sign up for our events (either through our website or a third-party website, or in person), or when you donate to us (through PayPal, MightyCause, or the use of a check).
We use or may use your personal information to contact you in the future via email and postal mail to update you on our work and for donor lists (unless the donor chooses to remain anonymous).
We also use your anonymized IP address and geolocation information to conduct website analytics through the use of Google Analytics.
We may share your personal information, specifically your name and your email address, with organizations we partner with to host events and programs.
Cookies are information files sent by a website to a web browser visiting the website. A cookie contains information stored or downloaded on a browser which tracks a browser’s behavior on the website and potentially across other websites.
Our Website may use first party and third party cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store personal information. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. Through your browser preferences, you are usually able to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Website.
Our Website also may use cookies associated with our donation vehicles, PayPal and MightyCause. Your use of PayPal and MightyCause is governed by their respective privacy policies and legal terms which may differ from ours. PayPal’s Privacy Policy is located here https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full#dataCollect and its Legal Agreements for PayPal Services can be accessed here https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full. MightyCause’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy is located here https://www.mightycause.com/a/terms_and_privacy. We encourage you to review PayPal and MightyCause’s respective privacy policies and legal terms before using their services.
Our website may include links to other websites. We do not control the privacy policies or terms of use of the destination websites. Your use of these third party websites, including the use of personal information on these websites, is governed by their respective privacy policies and terms of use, which may differ from ours. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third party websites.
The security of your personal information is important to us. Therefore, we make reasonable efforts to protect your personal information and secure it from loss, misuse, or alteration, including through the use of reasonable security measures.
We retain your name, mailing address, and email address indefinitely or until it is deleted upon request (see below “Access to and Deletion of Your Personal Information” for more information about how we handle deletion requests).
Because we aggregate geolocation information upon collection, we do not store non-aggregated geolocation information. In addition, because we anonymize all visitor IP addresses, we do not store non-anonymized IP addresses.
You have the right to access personal information we collect about you and delete such personal information. At our sole discretion and for any reason, including but not limited to, for anti-fraud purposes and to protect our legal interests and comply with our legal obligations, we reserve the right to deny your access and/or deletion request. You can make an access or deletion request by visiting our Privacy Tools page. To protect against fraudulent requests, you will be asked to supply the email address used on our website. Once submitted you will receive an email with a direct link back to our website where you can review and request to delete any stored information. The link in that email will expire after 15 minutes. Be sure to check your spam folder.
This Policy may change occasionally. We reserve the right to make material changes to this Policy affecting the use and disclosure of personal information we collect. We will inform you of any material changes to this policy either through a notice on the homepage of our website or by email. Additionally, if the changes affect our use of your previously collected information, we will obtain your opt-in consent before such changes are implemented. We further reserve the right to make non-material changes to this Policy which do not involve changes to the use and disclosure of personal information we collect without providing you with notice. Therefore, we encourage you to review this Policy for any non-material changes on a regular basis.
If you have any questions about our privacy practices or if you feel that we have not handled information about you properly, please contact us via email so that we may address your inquiry or issue.
