5. When/How Do We Collect Your Personally Identifiable Information?
Active Collection Methods. ISMD collects personally identifiable information from you when you voluntarily share it with us by, for example, sharing your name, email address, phone number, physical address, or other information when contacting us, posting on our blog, or donating to ISMD.
Passive Collection Methods. We may place information in our emails to you (such as a web beacon) that allows us to measure our email deliverability. We also may passively collect your Internet Protocol Address (“IP Address”). We may also collect and store information about where you are located, such as by converting your IP Address into a rough geolocation.
User Content
By using our Site—including by posting comments on our blog—you understand and agree that we are providing a platform for you to post content, including photos, comments and other materials, to the Site and to share that content publicly. Note that, by default, when you provide us with content it is published on the Site so that anyone can view, use, or share it, consistent with this Privacy Policy & Terms of Use. While you are free to request deletion of your content, content may live on through re-blogging of your content by others, and due to technological limitations inherent to the Site, copies of that content may exist elsewhere and be retained indefinitely, including in our systems. We urge you to make careful judgments about any personally identifiable information you disclose to our Site or any other website.
Donations; Purchases from our Shop
With regard to online or offline donations, or purchases from our shop, ISMD collects personal information (such as name, address, phone number, and email address) only when a user voluntarily provides it to us. ISMD uses such information only for ordinary fundraising and relationship-building purposes with the user, in addition to internal analyses to further those purposes. As part of your donation or purchase, you may be asked to provide your credit card information. We do not store or retain your credit card information; we use a secure third-party service provider to process your credit card information which is not permitted to store, retain, or use billing information except for the purpose of processing such transactions on ISMD’s behalf. For that reason, you may be asked to accept the third-party processor’s privacy policy or other terms as a condition of submitting your donation or completing your purchase.
Finally, our Site also may offer you the opportunity to donate anonymously. If you elect to do so, your donation information will be shared only with our third-party processor; the processor will share only the amount of your donation with ISMD, and none of your other personal information.
Children Under Thirteen Years of Age
If we discover that a child under the age of thirteen has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete that information from our records. A parent or guardian may notify us by email at info@mongoliandinosaurs.org to request the deletion of his or her child’s personally identifiable information from our records. As a not-for-profit organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, ISMD is exempt from compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. However, we take children’s privacy seriously, and encourage users and their parents to review our Privacy Policy & Terms of Use to understand our information collection practices.
6. How Do We Use Your Personally Identifiable Information?
ISMD may use the personally identifiable information that it collects from you via the Site amongst its employees, agents, affiliates, contractors, and service providers in order to (1) help us operate, analyze, develop, deliver, maintain, and improve the Site, its products, services, content, advertising, and communications; (2) contact you regarding information relevant to ISMD’s business, products, or services, or respond to your inquiries; or (3) engage in ordinary business, fundraising, marketing, and relationship-building communications with you.
We may also disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to additional third parties to the extent necessary or appropriate to: (1) comply with the law or respond to a subpoena, court order, government request, or other legal process; (2) protect the interests, rights, safety, or property of ISMD, its employees, agents, and affiliates; (3) enforce this Privacy Policy & Terms of Use; (4) act in connection with a merger, acquisition, liquidation, reorganization, divestiture, or dissolution of ISMD or its affiliates; or (5) address fraud, security, or technical issues, or otherwise operate the Site or its infrastructure systems properly.
7. Retention of Personally Identifiable Information
We will retain the personally identifiable information that we collect for the duration required to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy & Terms of Use, unless a longer retention period is required by law. We may store personally identifiable information in locations outside of ISMD’s direct control (for example, on servers or databases located with hosting providers). ISMD also keeps a record of each donor’s giving history on file for IRS purposes, to analyze giving patterns, make more accurate budget projections, and solicit future donations. ISMD does not share its donor file with any other party.
8. Security of Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard the privacy and integrity of your personally identifiable information, including but not limited to various restrictions on who can access the information and the servers on which it is stored. However, we cannot guarantee the security of any of your information, or the sufficiency of our security measures to prevent unauthorized access to it. Unauthorized access, interception, or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time.
9. Collection of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may collect certain non-personally identifiable information (information that does not personally identify the user) through the Site, including but not limited to through the use of “cookies” (small text files that are placed on your computer or other device by a website) to help secure your connection to the Site, to determine whether you have visited the Site previously, to save and remember any preferences that you set while using the Site, and to help us learn how our users interact with the Site. This information may be tracked anonymously, but in the aggregate helps us learn how to make our content and Site design more effective. Your browser may allow you to accept all cookies, notify you when a cookie is sent, or reject all cookies, but it may not be possible to use certain parts of the Site if cookies are rejected. We also may collect non-personally identifiable information about how people use the Site, which may include the operating system you are working on, the Internet browser or mobile device you are using, or the screen resolution of your computer. This information helps us to improve the design of the Site. We may also collect general usage information such as the number of our visitors, the frequency and length of those visits, which pages or features of the Site they have visited, and which links on the Site they have clicked on. We may also use third-party applications and services to collect and analyze this information. This information enables us to figure out how often individuals use the Site so that we can analyze and improve them. Some of this information may be associated with the IP Address used to access the Site. This information helps us to improve the content of the Site.
We may share non-personally identifiable information with third parties.
10. Access to and Deletion of Information; Opting Out of Communications
To opt out of email communications from ISMD, request deletion of blog comment, or request removal of your personally-identifiable information from our records, please email info@mongoliandinosaurs.org. Note that deleting your information may not fully remove it from our systems, as caching of, backups of, copies of, or references to your information may not be immediately removed.
Your California Privacy Rights. Under California Civil Code section 1798.83, California resident customers with whom we have an established business relationship are entitled, once per calendar year, to ask us for a notice identifying the categories of personally identifiable information that we share with our affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes, and to provide contact information for such affiliates and/or third parties.
