Exhale Pro-Voice (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of www.exhaleprovoice.org (this “Site”). This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through this Site and does not encompass information gathered through the Exhale Pro-Voice textline or social media platforms. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Exhale Pro-Voice Terms of Use, accessible at www.exhaleprovoice.org/terms-of-use/.
As used in this policy, the terms “using” and “processing” information include subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our organization. Information is never non-consensually shared by Exhale Pro-Voice with other organizations or social media accounts, except as otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collection and Use
We use the information we collect to improve this Site and Exhale Pro-Voice Pro-Voice services, features, and content (together, the “Service”) and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site.
Personally Identifiable Information
You may sign up through the Site to be on our mailing lists. If and when you do so, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your email address, your first name and last name, your occupation, and the city and state where you live. Similar information may be requested in the Volunteer application form and Story submissions feature. Information collection forms and tools may be operated by third party providers with privacy policies that differ from ours.
We may use your Personal Information to send you tax related confirmation and receipts in connection with donation transactions and to administer your inquiries. We also use your Personal Information to contact you with Exhale Pro-Voice email updates, fundraising or donation opportunities and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications. Please consult the “Changing Your Information” section below for information related to alteration or deletion of Stored Information.
Log Data
When you visit the Site, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to this Site, pages of this Site that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Site, access times and dates, and other statistics. The collection of Log Data is customary and you may alter your browser’s privacy settings to prevent sharing or to notify you when information is being shared.
We use Log Data information to monitor and analyze use of this Site and the Service and for the Site’s technical administration, to increase this Site’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor it to our visitors’ needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors to this Site meet the criteria required to process their requests.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Aggregate Information. We may share aggregated information that does not include Personal Information and we may otherwise disclose Log Data with third parties for industry analysis and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your name or Personal Information, and Log Data will not be shared, rented, or sold for profit.
Service Providers. We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Site-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and improvement of the Site’s features, marketing services, and facilitating email communication) or to assist us in analyzing how our Site and Service are used. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement. Exhale Pro-Voice does not share, sell or rent donor or visitor information without prior consent under any circumstances, including to law enforcement, except as compelled by law or by government or court order. However, this Site may use links or tools hosted by third party companies with different privacy standards and access to visitor, user, or donor information. Please accustom yourself with the applicable privacy policies of third parties, which may be accessed here and here.
Business Transfers. Exhale Pro-Voice may transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including visitor and donor information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy. You will have the opportunity to opt out of any such transfer if the new entity’s planned processing of your information differs materially from that set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Donation Related Transactions
You will be able to donate funds through the Site (“Donations”) to support further development of the Site and to facilitate Exhale Pro-Voice’s mission to provide nonjudgmental, supportive, peer Pro-Voice counseling. All Donations made through the Site will be processed through a third party payment service provider (such as Classy). Treatment of information that you provide to such third party payment service provider will be governed by that service provider’s privacy policy, and not this Site’s Privacy Policy. Exhale Pro-Voice does not exercise control over, and has no responsibility for, how such third party service providers use the information you provide, and if you wish to make a Donation through the Site, you should review such service provider’s privacy policy to ensure that its terms are acceptable to you. If you make a Donation, a third party service provider may provide any solicited Personal Information about you, so that we or they may send you a tax related confirmation and receipt. Although all donated funds will be routed back to Exhale Pro-Voice, the terms of processing your Donation will be based on the agreement between you and such designated payment service provider and not an agreement between you and Exhale Pro-Voice.
Changing Your Information
You may review, update, correct or delete your Personal Information by contacting us. If you would like us to delete your record in our system, please contact us at info [@] exhaleprovoice [dot] org with a request that we remove your Personal Information from our communications, or utilize the opt out link included in all email correspondence sent to you by us. We will make reasonable efforts to honor your request in compliance with all applicable laws. We may retain an archived copy of your records, including but not limited to all information collected in connection with Donation related transactions, as required by law or for other legitimate service-related purposes.
Security
Exhale Pro-Voice is concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ reasonable physical, technological, and administrative security measures and we take necessary measures to protect the security of any gathered data. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state and regional statutes) to you via email or conspicuous posting on this Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
International Transfer
Your information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, Exhale Pro-Voice transfers Personal Information to the United States and processes it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Links to Other Sites
Our Site contains links to other websites. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of an affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of that third party’s privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other sites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
