This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from sariverfound.org (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
– “Web Analytics thru third-party applications” track actions occurring on the Site through Google Analytics and track form and donation-related actions occurring on and off the site through Bloomerang (our Donor Management system)

Additionally, when you make a donation or attempt to make a donation through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers or electronic transfer fund information), email address, and phone number.  We refer to this information as “Donation Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Donation Information.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Donation Information that we collect generally to fulfill any donations placed through the Site (including processing your payment information and providing you with receipts and/or order confirmations).  Additionally, we use this Donation Information to:

  • Communicate with you;
  • Screen payment forms submitted for potential risk or fraud; and
  • When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with Foundation communications we believe may be of interest to you; and
  • Donor Acknowledgement for appropriate donations (Donor Walls, Press Releases, Annual Reports)

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Bloomerang to power our donations processing–you can read more about how Bloomerang uses your Personal Information here:  https://bloomerang.co/privacy-policy.  We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our visitors engage the Site–you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here:  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.  You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here:  https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
