1. INTRODUCTION
RADical Hope, Inc., a non-profit entity awaiting its 501(c)3 status, is dedicated to improving the lives of those suffering from or at risk for mental health issues relating to early developmental trauma and attachment disorders. The services offered by RADical Hope (“RADical Hope” “us” or “we”) include all officially maintained and managed RADical Hope websites (“the Site”). This Privacy Policy applies to: (a) information we collect from persons, either electronically, via postal mail, in-person or over the phone, in connection with their relationship with RADical Hope whether it be for a donation or other means (b) all registrants or participants in any RADical Hope sponsored event and (c) users of any related services, applications or sites that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively (a), (b) and (c) referred to hereunder as the “Services”). The Policy describes RADical Hope’s collection and use of users’ Personal Information (e.g., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name, postal address, telephone number, email address, or credit or debit card number) where that information is not otherwise publicly available.) It also describes generally RADical Hope’s practices for handling Other Information (e.g., interests, demographics and site usage) collected from you, through us or from a third party to the extent such information is associated with a particular device, user or user account. By using this Site and/or the Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, do not use the Site or the Services.
2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Personal Information “Personal Information” is the information that identifies you as an individual, such as name, postal address, telephone number, email address and credit or debit card number.
- Personal Information You Submit We collect Personal Information when you submit it to us, including but not limited to when you submit a donation, register for or subscribe to certain events, products, or services, create a profile, participate in a sweepstakes or contest, take a survey, use an interactive feature, or participate in a forum.
- Personal Information We Receive from Third Parties We may receive Personal Information about you from third parties, including, for example, information about your transactions, purchase history, or relationships with various product and service providers, and your use of certain applications. For example, if you access an Online Service through a third party connection or log-in, such as Facebook Connect, that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to us. This information could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account, any information you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service.
- Other Information “Other Information” is any information that does not reveal your specific identity, such as browser information, information collected through cookies and other technologies, demographic information, and aggregated information. We may combine Other Information with your Personal Information, and when we do, we treat the combined information as Personal Information.
- Other Information You Submit We collect Other Information when you submit it to us. It may include your age, gender, education, occupation, financial information, interests, photos, connections, and comments.
- Other Information We Receive from Third Parties We may receive Other Information about you from third parties, including but not limited to, demographic data, information about your interests, and information about your activities on other websites.
- Other Information We Collect Automatically When You are Online Personal Data Personal data is collected when users provide personal information that is not publicly available to RADical Hope, for example by registering through the Site and donating funds. The personal information that you provide must be true, accurate and complete and all registration details (where applicable) must contain your real name, address and other requested details. Aggregated information, such as information on traffic patterns within the Site, is collected by RADical through various methods:
- IP Addresses: We collect IP addresses through the Site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the web. Web servers, the computers that “serve up” web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from the Site, our servers log your IP address. The Site does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us.
- Use of Cookies: RADical Hope may use cookies and other tracking technologies (including browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and Adobe Flash technology including cookies), which are comprised of small bits of data that often include an anonymous unique identifier. A cookie is a small data file that most major web sites write to your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit them. Cookies allow us to measure activity on the Site and to improve your user experience, for example by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences. Cookies are used by RADical Hope to measure activity on the Site and make improvements and updates based on which areas are popular and which are not. We will make available cookies, containing non-personally identifiable information such as IP address and pages viewed, regarding your activity on the Site to certain third party providers with whom we work, in order to show advertisements relating to this Site that may be of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please let us know by contacting us as described in the Stay Informed section. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the Site will not function properly if you do so.
- Children and Privacy We will not knowingly market to or collect personally identifiable information from children under age 13.
