This is the Privacy Policy of myEZFundraising.com ("myEZFundraising.com" or "us" or "we").
Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to combine quality
coupons and deals for products and services with integrity in dealing with our users.
Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use
and store the personal information you provide to us.
Please read the Privacy Policy carefully. Our Privacy Policy may be modified by us from time
to time. Any modifications we make will be effective immediately upon posting to
the Site and the effective date of the latest version of the Privacy Policy will
appear on this page. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Site to determine
if there have been changes to the Privacy Policy and to review the changes.
To ask us questions or offer comments, please contact us at the email address provided
below.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit the Site, you may provide us with two types of information: information
you actively choose to disclose ("Active Information") and information collected
in a way not visible to you on an aggregate, anonymous basis as you and others browse
our Site ("Passive Information").
When we refer to "personally identifiable information," we mean information that
can be linked to a specific individual, such as a name, address, telephone number,
or email address. Sharing personally identifiable information with us is entirely
optional.
No Use of Our Site by Persons Under 13
The Site is not intended for use by anyone under 18, except with the explicit permission
and under the supervision of a parent or guardian who accepts full legal responsibility
for the minor's use. No person under 13 should disclose information on this Site.
We don't knowingly collect or use personally identifiable information from children
under 13. If a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information
without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us at
the email address provided below to remove the information and opt out of promotional
opportunities. You may learn more about protecting children's privacy online by
visiting www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy.
Active Information You Choose to Provide
You may choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, such as your
email address, name, and postal address, to register with the Site and to receive
coupons by email or other services or information. You may also choose to provide
your Zip code on the Site to receive information about products and services in
your area.
Passive Information We Collect
Our Site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" to collect information
about how our Site is used. Passive Information gathered may include your Internet
service provider, browser type, operating system, the date and time of visits, the
Site pages viewed, time spent at our Site, and the sites visited just before and
just after our Site. Passive Information is collected on an aggregate basis without
any association to your personal information so that you remain anonymous. If you
do not wish to transmit "cookie" information about yourself, you may turn off the
cookie function in your web browser; please consult the "Help" section of your browser
to correctly do so. If you elect to turn off cookies, however, you may not be able
to access certain features of the Site and your use of some portions of the Site
may be affected.
What is a Cookie?
Cookies are a feature of web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) software
that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a site. They are
small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on one site to simplify
subsequent interactions with that site by the same user or to use the information
to streamline the user's transaction on related web pages. This makes it easier
for a user to move from site to site and to complete transactions over the Internet.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use the Information Collected?
Active Information
We will use the Active Information you provide us to deliver the content, features,
advertising, services, or information you request. If you provide your email address,
we may send you information or other messages related to your activities on the
Site or about our services. We may retain the Active Information you provide and
a record of the service or information provided. Any Active Information retained
would be used to assist the delivery of the content, features, advertising, services,
or information you requested, and to optimize your experience and enhance the quality
of the time you spend with us online. We may use the Active Information you provide
to us to contact you about changes to our Site, new services, features or products
we offer, or other information we think you will find valuable. If at any time you
do not wish to receive such information, please send us an email at webmaster@myEZFundraising.com.
When you send us a message, we retain the content of the message, your email address,
and any information you may provide to us, including your experience with the Site,
and your contact preferences, as well as the response we send back to you. This
helps us manage any follow-up questions you may have, measure how effectively we
address your concerns, and improve the Site.
We may share Active Information with persons we employ directly, or as contractors
or agents at our direction, for purposes of administering our business activities,
providing customer services such as support, and making available other product
or service offers or deals we think may be of interest to you. If we are acquired
by another company, your personally identifiable information will be shared with
our new owner, but it will remain subject to the terms of the then-applicable privacy
policy or another set of terms if you agree to them.
Passive Information
We use Passive Information to enhance and design our Site to make it easier, faster
and friendlier to use, and to optimize your experience and enhance the quality of
the time you spend with us online. Additionally, cookies help us know information
about how many people visit our Site, when they visit and how they use our service.
Passive Information is collected on an aggregate basis and we do not connect any
of this information to your email address or other personally identifiable information
However, Passive Information may result in your viewing of particular content, features,
advertising, services, or information based on your user habits or your viewing
on our Site.
We may also allow third parties, such as advertisers on our Site, to place cookies
on our Site so we can help enhance your online experience after you leave our Site.
The third party cookies used on our Site are also designed to improve your online
experience by facilitating the receipt of targeted advertisements while on our Site
and while you are viewing other web sites. These third parties
may use information about your visits to our and other web sites obtained through
their cookie (which does NOT include your name, address, e-mail address or telephone
number) in combination with non-personally identifiable information about your purchases
and interests from other online sites in order to provide advertisements for goods
and services of interest to you. Other companies’ use of their cookies is subject
to their own privacy policies and not ours.
We also may share web site usage information about visitors to our Site with third
parties, such as advertisers on our Site, for the purpose of managing and targeting
advertisements and for market research analysis on our Site and other sites. For
these purposes, we and our third-party advertising companies may place pixel tags
(also called clear gifs) on some of the pages you visit on our Site. We will then
use the non-personally identifiable information that is collected using these pixel
tags to serve you relevant advertisements when you are visiting other sites on the
Internet. These advertisements may be targeted to specific searches you conducted
on myEZFundraising.com during earlier browsing sessions.
If you would like more information about the information collection practices of
third-party advertising companies and your choices about not having the information
described above used by these companies or opting out of online preference marketing,
please visit
this site.
Your Information and Links to Other Web Sites
This Site contains links to other websites not owned by us that may have different
privacy practices from ours. We aren't responsible for the content or privacy practices
of those sites, and our Privacy Policy doesn't apply to information collected by
those sites. You should read those sites' privacy policies to make sure you agree
to them before using such sites. If you choose to visit or shop at such sites, you
should read their privacy policies to make sure you agree to them before making
purchases.
Sharing Information with Advertisers or Other Third Parties
We may share with third parties, such as advertisers on our Site or other website
operators, anonymous, aggregated information about user habits, characteristics
and user patterns. We may use your IP address and share it with third parties to
help diagnose problems with our servers, to manage the Site, and to enhance the
Site based on usage pattern data.
Sharing Information with the Government or As Otherwise Required by Law
We may also use or disclose information to resolve disputes or investigate problems.
We may disclose or access information when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it, or if we consider it necessary to maintain service and improve our
products and services.
Protection of your Personally Identifiable Information
In an effort to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure or accidental loss or destruction
of Active Information or Passive Information, we use reasonable efforts to secure
the information you provide. Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard and
prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information, we can't
be responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorized access, and we make no
warranty, express, implied or otherwise, that we will prevent such access. Communications
you may have with us via email or U.S. Mail may not be secure unless we advise you
that security measures are in place prior to your sending information. Therefore,
if you choose to communicate with us through these means, you are assuming the risk
of doing so and we request that you do not send or post sensitive information through
these means.
