Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

Humanity Calls values you and respects your privacy. We collect information to support our relationship with you, improve our services, and communicate about promotions or special services. Humanity Calls recognizes that we must maintain and use information responsibly.

Humanity Calls adheres to the US Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Access and Enforcement.

This policy describes what personal information we collect and how we use it. You can always find the most current version of our privacy policy at www.HumanityCalls.org/privacypol.html.

Information Collection

We collect information when you visit our website, create an account, edit your account information, or donate to nonprofits. Some of this information is technical information that is automatically logged by our servers.

Humanity Calls may provide this information to nonprofits to which you donate to through Humanity Calls.

Creating a Humanity Calls Account

When you create an account on our website, we collect basic information about you, such as your name and email address.

Individuals are not permitted to register multiple times as themselves or to impersonate others. Humanity Calls reserves the right to remove from the website any user who violates these terms of use.

Making a Donation

When you make an online donation on Humanity Calls, we collect personal information such as your name, billing address, and email address, if you have not already provided these details. We collect information about your donation, including the nonprofits you are donating to and the amount of your donation. We also collect (but do not retain) credit card numbers which are processed by a third-party payment vendor subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. If you use PayPal or a similar service, their use of your information is based on their terms of service and policies, not ours, so we encourage you to review those policies carefully.

If you are donating by credit card, your donation will appear as Humanity Calls on your credit card statement. That's because your donation is to Humanity Calls, which will re-grant your donation to the nonprofit(s) you designated or to the nonprofits selected, proportionate to votes received, by the Humanity Calls community. As required by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), Humanity Calls has exclusive legal control over the donation. In the rare event that a nonprofit you have designated or that is selected by the Humanity Calls community does not satisfy Humanity Calls criteria for receiving donations (i.e., it has been classified by the IRS as a disqualified supporting organization, it cannot or does not accept donations, is not recognized by the IRS as a public charity, or is not in good standing with federal and state regulators), Humanity Calls will select an alternate nonprofit to receive your donation funds.

Contests, Promotions, and Surveys

Periodically, Humanity Calls may invite you to participate in contests, take advantage of special promotions, and complete online surveys. If you have created a Humanity Calls account or profile, information we collect from these contests, promotions, and surveys may be associated with you personally.

Technical Information

Like most websites, our servers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our site, including your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your visit, the referring URL, and, if you have visited our Site before, one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We also collect information about your activities on the site, such as the pages you access.

In order to collect this information, the site places a cookie on your hard drive. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.

Use of Information

Humanity Calls uses the personal information that you provide, and the technical information logged by our servers to process your donations, to:

• deliver the notifications described above;

• improve your experience (such as remembering your name or your preferences);

• contact you regarding your donation(s) and other aspects of the service;

• operate the site and our organization; and

• compile aggregate statistics that allow us to understand how visitors use our site, and to make improvements in design and content to better serve you.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We will share your personal information with our agents, representatives, service providers and contractors in order to process your donations, offer you services in connection with our website, communicate news and information about Humanity Calls, provide customer service, enhance and improve customers' donor experiences, and complete financial transactions. These service providers are authorized to use your information only to the extent necessary to serve these purposes, or as otherwise authorized by this policy.

If Humanity Calls merges with, or becomes an affiliate of another organization, we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such transactions and provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Aside from the purposes described above, we will not disclose your personal information without your consent, unless: (1) we need to respond to a subpoena, court order or legal process; (2) an emergency situation requires disclosure before your permission can be obtained (e.g., situations involving potential threats to personal safety), or; (3) we determine that disclosure is needed to protect our rights or property, or the rights or property of another person.

We may share aggregated demographic and statistical information with our other partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

Viewing and Updating Your Information on Humanity Calls

You can access your account information at any time. You can make changes to your information and update your account at any time.

Links to Other Websites

Other websites, including those of our partners (links to which appear on Humanity Calls), have their own privacy policies. When you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that site, not the Humanity Calls privacy policy. We encourage you to read that policy before submitting any personal information.

You should take additional steps to safeguard your personal information online. To learn more about how to protect yourself, visit the Federal Trade Commission website.

Security

Humanity Calls understands the importance of keeping your information secure and confidential. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to help safeguard your information. When you make a donation, information about your credit card, PayPal account, or bank is transmitted using SSL.

Privacy Policy Updates

Our privacy policy is regularly reviewed to make sure we continue to serve the privacy interests of our customers. If our information practices change materially, we will post the policy changes on the privacy page of this website to notify you of these changes. Please check our website periodically for more information on how we use the data we collect.
