What type of Personal Identifiable Information do we collect from you and how do we use it?
Registrants need to provide us with certain PII in order to use certain parts of the website. For example, PII may be collected when you make donations through the Website, including without limitation a Registrant's name and email address, credit card information, and other payment information. PII may also be collected if you choose to apply online using forms on the Website. Registrants may also need to provide us with certain PII in order to use other Website functionality and none of the examples provided above are limiting. Furthermore, we may also ask you for general statistical, non-PII about you and your interests.
Operator may provide your PII to individuals or entities who work on our behalf or with us. These individuals or entities may use your PII to help fulfill your requests and to help us communicate with you about different services or resources offered through the Website. For example, we may transfer certain of your PII or other information to service providers and other third parties who assist us in operating the Website.
How do we use the Personally Identifiable Information that we collect on the Website?
We may use and disclose PII to improve and enhance your experience on the Website and for other purposes. For example, from time to time, we may use and share PII with third parties to show general demographic and preference information among Website users.
Under what other circumstances may we release Personally Identifiable Information?
We may also release your PII to third parties if we believe that such release is necessary to comply with the law (e.g., a legal process or a statutory authorization or requirement) or a court order, to protect you or other Visitors or Registrants or if we reasonably believe that a danger to any person or property requires disclosure of such PII, to protect against the fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the Website, or otherwise to protect our interests.
Our rights under this Privacy Policy may be automatically assigned by us, in our sole discretion, to a third party or parties, and such an assignment will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns and/or licensees. Without limitation of the foregoing, we may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including without limitation your PII. In each such an event, the PII we have collected from you may be one of the assets transferred.
