We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: When you sign up for our newsletter, make a donation, purchase merchandise, or contact us, we may collect personal information that you knowingly choose to disclose, such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and payment information, for purposes such as correspondence, placing an order, or participating in online surveys. If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
• Website Use Information: Collected on an aggregated basis as you and others browse our website. Similar to other websites, our site may utilize a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “Cookies and Tracking”) and web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, the time spent on our website, and the sites visited immediately before and after ours. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.

• Provide and improve our services and website.
• Process donations, purchases, and memberships.
• Communicate with you about events, updates, and opportunities.
• Respond to inquiries or requests you send us.
• Comply with legal or regulatory obligations.

The lists used to send you product and service offers are developed and managed in accordance with our traditional standards, designed to safeguard the security and privacy of all personal information provided by our users. You may at any time notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies help us remember your preferences and understand how our site is used. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of our site may not function correctly without them.

We use website browser software tools, such as cookies and web server logs, to gather information about our website users’ browsing activities. This information enables us to improve our website and better serve our users continually. This information helps us design and arrange our web pages in the most user-friendly manner, and continuously improve our website to better meet the needs of our users and prospective users. Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies allows us to track the paths followed by users as they navigate our website from one page to another. Web server logs enable us to track the number of visitors to our website and assess the capacity of our website’s visitors. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you.

Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services (such as payment processors, email marketing tools, or analytics providers). These services only receive the information necessary to perform their functions and are required to protect your information.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration, or destruction. 

Our organization values, ethical standards, policies, and practices are committed to the protection of user information. Generally, our business practices restrict employee access to confidential information and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized personnel, processes, and transactions.

What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information? We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it.
