Privacy
Policy
ALS
Recovery Fund’s privacy policy covers the collection
and use of personal information that may be collected by ALS
Recovery Fund anytime you interact with ALS Recovery Fund,
such as when you visit our website, when you donate to the
ALS Recovery Fund, or when you call our support associates.
Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about
our information practices, including what type of information
is gathered, how the information is used and for what purposes,
to whom we disclose the information, and how we safeguard
your personal information. Your privacy is a priority at ALS
Recovery Fund, and we go to great lengths to protect it.
Why
we collect personal information
Why do we collect your personal information? Because it helps
us deliver a superior level of service. It enables us to give
you convenient access to our products and services and focus
on categories of greatest interest to you. In addition, your
personal information helps us keep you posted on the latest
announcements and events that you might like to hear about.
If you
do not want ALS Recovery Fund to keep you up to date with
ALS Recovery Fund news and the latest information on events
send an e-mail to info@alsrecovery.org and type "REMOVE"
in the subject line.
What
information we collect
There are a number of situations in which your personal information
may help us give you better service. At such times, we may
collect personal information relevant to the situation, such
as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address,
and contact preferences; your credit card information and
information about the ALS Recovery Fund events you have participated
in. We collect information for marketing purposes to help
us continue to raise money for ALS.
When
we disclose your information
ALS Recovery Fund takes your privacy very seriously. Be assured
that ALS Recovery Fund does not sell or rent your contact
information to other marketers.
At times
we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal
information. We may also disclose information about you if
we determine that for national security, law enforcement,
or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.
How
we protect your personal information
ALS Recovery Fund takes precautions — including administrative,
technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your
personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well
as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
The ALS
Recovery Fund website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
on all web pages where donation information is required. To
make a donation to the ALS Recovery Fund, you must use an
SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Netscape Navigator 3.0
or later, or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality
of your personal and credit card information while it’s
transmitted over the Internet.
You can
help us by also taking precautions to protect your personal
data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often
using a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure
you use a secure web browser like Internet Explorer.
Cookies
and other technologies
As
is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically
and store it in log files. This information includes internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider
(ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp,
and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify
individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site,
to track users’ movements around the site and to gather
demographic information about our user base as a whole. ALS Recovery Fund
will not use the information collected to market directly
to that person.
In some
of our email messages we use a “click-through URL”
linked to content on the ALS Recovery Fund website. When a
customer clicks one of these URLs, they pass through our web
server before arriving at the destination web page. We track
this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular
topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.
If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text
or graphic links in the email
Our
companywide commitment to your privacy
As we said, ALS Recovery Fund takes protecting your privacy
very seriously. To make sure your personal information is
secure, we communicate these guidelines to ALS Recovery Fund
volunteers and employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards
within the company. In addition, ALS Recovery Fund supports
industry initiatives — such as the Online Privacy Alliance
and TRUSTe — to preserve privacy rights on the Internet
and in all aspects of electronic commerce. And we do not knowingly
solicit personal information from minors or send them requests
for personal information.
ALS Recovery
Fund’s website has links to the sites of other companies
and charitable organizations. ALS Recovery Fund is not responsible
for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about
the privacy policies of those companies.
Privacy
questions
If you have questions or concerns about ALS Recovery Fund’s
Customer Privacy Policy or data processing, please contact
us.
ALS Recovery Fund may update its privacy policy from time
to time. When we change the policy in a material way a notice
will be posted on our website along with the updated privacy
policy.
