Collaborative Community Initiative (CCI) understands that your privacy is important. This Privacy Policy explains how we gather information, how we handle it, whether we disclose it to anyone and your options regarding our use of this information. This Privacy Policy applies when you make a donation to Collaborative Community Initiative or share your personal information with Collaborative Community Initiative as discussed below. By visiting our web site, you are accepting this Privacy Policy.

 

We have created this privacy policy in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

Donor Information

We collect your information when you voluntarily provide it to us.

 

If you make a donation, we will request personal information from you such as your name, address, email and credit/debit card. This information is needed to process your donation and to communicate with you regarding your donation.

 

We also collect information such as your name, email and phone number when you sign up for our newsletter. We collect and store this information and use it primarily for the purposes for which you submitted it. We may use this information to enhance our solicitation strategies by providing you with additional informational materials about our work and other relevant topics of interest on additional marketing channels. We may provide you with these materials via online social platforms, websites, phone, text/SMS, postal mail, or email, as permitted by applicable law. We do not share this information with any third parties except those that assist us with certain functions, as described above.

 

In addition to the personal information that you provide to us, we may collect personal information about you from reputable third parties or automatically collect information using the following technologies:

 

Web Server Logs

Our web servers may collect certain information such as IP address, pages visited, time of visits, and referring website.

 

Cookies

Cookies are simple text files stored by your web browser that provide a method of distinguishing among donors and visitors to the website. Collaborative Community Initiative uses cookies to identify your browser as you visit pages on our website.

 

Where do we store information?

Collaborative Community Initiative is based in the United States, and any information transmitted to us may be stored and accessed in the United States. Residents of some other countries, including residents of the European Union, should be aware that the laws of the United States do not offer the same protections as the laws of your home country.

 

How do we use your information?

We collect information primarily to accept donations and to provide you with information concerning our programs, projects, and activities. We also use information for internal purposes (to better understand our supporter network) and for analytical purposes (to respond to requests for information and to improve our website, donor base, and outreach). We may inform you of other purposes at the time that we collect some forms of information.

 

Do we share your information?

We do not trade, share, or sell information that you provide to us with other organizations who intend to use it only to market their products or services to you.

 

There may be instances in which we share your information with others. We may share your information, for example, in conjunction with your sponsorship of a certain project, as required by law, with law enforcement, to comply with legal process, to protect our legal rights, to protect the safety or security of a person, or to protect against fraud, criminal acts, or misconduct. We may also share your information with companies that provide us with services, or with a successor legal entity.

                   

Data Security

To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. For example, we secure our machines with mandated encryption protocols to secure our user/company data. We also use industry accepted tools and techniques such as SSL and two-factor authentication to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. Additionally, all sensitive information is stored in secure repositories both in-house as well as secure cloud-based, AES encrypted web apps.
