Privacy Policy

This policy describes the ways in which we collect, store, use and protect your personal information… We may amend this policy at any time by posting a revised version on our website. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it. When you visit our website, we collect your IP address and standard web log information, such as your browser type and the pages you accessed on our website. When you access our website, we, or companies we hire to track how our website is used, may place small data files called “cookies” on your computer. We send a “session cookie” to your computer when you log in to your account. This type of cookie helps us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages on our site during the same session, so that we don’t need to ask you for your password on each page. Once you log out or close your browser, this cookie expires and no longer has any effect. We also use longer lasting cookies to display your e-mail address on our sign-in form, so that you don't need to retype the e-mail address each time you log in to your account. We encode our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but doing so may interfere with your use of our website. Throughout this policy, we use the term “personal information” to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been ‘anonymized’ so that it does not identify a specific user. We store and process your personal information on our computers in the US, and we protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable US federal and state regulations. We use computer safeguards such as ‘firewalls’ and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities. Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We may use your personal information to: provide the services and support your request, resolve disputes, and troubleshoot problems; send you marketing materials; prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our User Agreement; customize, measure, and improve our services and the content and layout of our website; send you targeted notifications, service update notices, and update our activities notifications based on your communication preferences; and compare information for accuracy and verify it with third parties. If you have questions or concerns regarding this policy, you should contact us by using the “Contact Us” feature on our site or by writing to us at: ‘info@varietychildrenscharity.org’ or visiting ‘http://www.varietygoldhearts.org/contact.’
