The Information We Collect
Personally Identifiable Information: Our Site does not automatically
collect any personally identifiable information (information that identifies
you or can identify you as an individual) from visitors. We collect
personally identifiable information only when you provide it in the
course of interacting with the Site, such as when you subscribe to an
email newsletter, sign up for direct mail, take part in message boards,
participate in polls or surveys, or make a donation. In so doing, you
may be asked to provide personally identifiable information, such as
your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, fax number,
credit card information, or information about your interests and activities.
You may choose not to provide such personally identifiable information,
but this may limit our ability to provide you with a specific service
or particular content, or collect your donation.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: As part of administrating
the Site, our servers may automatically collect non-personally identifiable
information. This is aggregated information or other information that
does not identify you, such as the type of browser you are using, the
type of operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet
service provider, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, and usage patterns
of our Site.
Cookies and Tracking Pixels: We also use cookies, tracking pixels and
other technologies to track activity on our Site and to enhance the
functionality of our Site. Cookies are small pieces of information that
our server places on a visitor's computer hard drive to enable that
person to more easily communicate and interact with the Site and to
provide us with important information on how visitors use the Site.
Tracking pixels (also known as web beacons, action tags, or transparent
GIF files) collect and store information about your visits to Web sites,
such as page visits, the duration of the visit and the specific advertisements
or link(s) that you clicked on your visit. The tracking pixels are provided
to us by our third party ad service providers. The information collected
by such tracking pixels is used in aggregate only for reporting purposes
and is not used in connection with your personally identifiable information.
Many Web browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You may change
your browser settings to either reject cookies or notify you when a
cookie is about to be placed on your computer. Similarly, you may refer
to the "help" portion on the toolbar for detailed instructions
on enabling and disabling tracking pixels. Please note, however, that
if you prevent the setting of cookies or prevent the collection of automatic
non-personally identifiable information, you will not be able to access
portions of our Site and will not be able to make donations.
How the Information is Used
We may use personally identifiable information about you to provide
services to you, at your request. We may use it to communicate with
you through periodic messages regarding services, events, and other
information and notices we believe you may find interesting or useful.
We may use it for confirmation of donations, subscriptions, or other
actions you take on our Site, to send newsletters, and for related customer
service needs. We use information you provide about others to enable
us to send them your greeting cards.
We use the automatic non-personally identifiable information collected
to maintain, secure and improve our site, and understand your interests
when visiting our Site. We do not collect any personally identifiable
information via a user's IP address.
