Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
Who we are
We provide this notice explaining our online information practices. By visiting this website, you are accepting the practices described in this Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect:
Types of information collected:
1. Personal, or “individually identifiable,” information you provide to us, including, but not limited to, name; home and/or business address; e-mail address; telephone, wireless and/or fax number; credit card and other payment information and/or other information that may identify you or another person as an individual or allow online or offline contact with an individual; and
2. Standard web server/visitor traffic information, commonly referred to as “aggregate information,” regarding overall Web site traffic patterns. Normally, web servers collect this type of basic information as part of their web log processes. We do not report on individual user sessions.
While processing your visit to our site, there are instances when International Friends of Yamam, Inc. “IFOY” may collect individually identifiable information in order to better facilitate the purpose of your visit. For example, if you wish to donate to IFOY or any of its programs, we will collect information such as your first and last name, street address, city, state, zip code, telephone number, email address, and credit card information. We process credit card information via a secure third party. We may maintain records with individually identifiable information, which records are accessible only by authorized staff.
How do we use the information?
Occasionally, IFOY may contact individuals who have provided their individually identifiable information through the Web site in order to supply you with news and information.
We may aggregate unlinked personal information and use it to:
1. Improve our marketing and promotional efforts,
2. Statistically analyze site usage,
3. Improve our content and product offerings, and
4. Customize our site’s content and layout.
This enables us to improve our site and tailor it to better meet our users’ needs. In these situations, however, we remove any ties to information that could be used to personally identify you.
If you wish to restrict the use of your contact information, you may let us know by contacting IFOY via email at: [email protected].
Consent to Processing
By providing personal information to this Web Site, you consent to the collection, maintenance, processing and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other countries and territories, pursuant to the laws of the United States, which may provide lesser privacy protections than the laws of other countries.
Legal Disclosures
We may disclose user information to government authorities, and to other third parties when compelled to do so by government authorities, at our discretion, or otherwise as required or permitted by law, including but not limited to in response to court orders and subpoenas. We also may disclose user information when we have reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other users of the Web Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
Third-Party “Linked-To” Web Sites
When you are on our Web Site you may have the opportunity to visit, or link to, other Web sites. These sites may collect personal information about you. IFOY does not control sites that are operated by these entities and is not responsible for the information practices of these sites. This privacy policy does not address the information practices of other Web sites.
Security
While IFOY will endeavor to protect the personal, or individually identifiable, information provided to this Web Site, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.
If you contact us by e-mail or a “contact us” or similar feature on our Web Site, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure. A third party could view information you send by these methods in transit. We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.
In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your personal information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, to the extent we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use another method to notify you in this situation, please e-mail us at [email protected] with the alternative contact information you wish to be used.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
IFOY reserves the right to change or update this Privacy Policy, or any other of our policies or practices, at any time, and will notify users of this Web Site by posting such changed or updated Privacy Policy on this page. Any changes or updates will be effective immediately upon posting to this Web Site. Under certain circumstances, we may also elect to notify you of changes or updates to our Privacy Policy, or to request your consent for such changes, by additional means, such as posting a notice on the front page of our Web Site to sending you an e-mail.
