This Privacy Policy is designed to explain our online information practices in connection with the Charles G. Wright Endowment for Humanity “CGWEH”, web site (the “Site”). CGWEH is committed to protecting the privacy of its online visitors and does not collect information about you, other than as described below. By using this Site, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy.

Types of Information We Collect and How It Is Used

Information You Provide Us

CGWEH does not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our Site. CGWEH only gathers personally identifying information (“PII”), such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, e-mail addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. For example, PII may be collected as part of your expression of interest in (i) applying for a grant, (ii) participating in CGWEH survey / testimonial programs, and (iii) making a donation over the phone or by mail.

Most areas of our Site are accessible without registration of any kind. However, some of our services require some identification as a part of participation. In each case, the PII required and the uses to which it is put are made clear.
The PII you provide is available only to CGWEH.

Other Information Collected

CGWEH utilizes advertising networks and third party analytics services that automatically collect and temporarily store certain information about your visit to our Site, including (i) the pages of our Site that you visited; (ii) the time and date of your visit; and (iii) the address of the web site you came from when you entered our Site. The information is aggregated and anonymized, and we use it to help understand how our Site and server function, diagnose problems with our server and improve our Site’s content.

As part of our ongoing effort to understand how our supporters and potential supporters respond to our email messages, we may also utilize – directly or through a third party service provider – technical methods in HTML emails that we send to determine whether you have opened those emails or clicked on links in the emails.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to enhance your experience on our Site. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just the computer used. Users may have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued or not to receive cookies at any time. If you set your browser not to accept cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of the full features of the Site.

Sharing of Your Information

CGWEH is the sole owner of any information collected on this Site. We will not share your information with any third-party organization for commercial purposes except as noted in this policy.

CGWEH may disclose PII if compelled by law or a regulatory authority. In addition, we may need to disclose PII in special cases where we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury or interfering (either intentionally or unintentionally) with CGWEH’s rights or property, other CGWEH Site users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

Security of Your Information

CGWEH takes steps intended to secure the PII provided to us. For example, PII you provide is accessible only by designated staff. All PII gathered on the CGWEH website is done in a secure and encrypted manner using Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology.

No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. While we try to protect your PII, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or that we retain. You use the Site, and provide us with PII, at your own risk.

Opt-Out

If you supply us with your e-mail address online you may receive periodic e-mailings from us. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us in the future, please let us know by sending your request by contacting us as set out below.
CGWEH will never rent, trade or sell your e-mail address.

Access to and Deletion of Information

The accuracy of your PII is important to CGWEH. If you would like to review or make a change to your PII related to a donation, please send an e-mail to info@cgwfoundation.org. If you would like to review or delete any other PII you have provided to us, please contact us at the email address below, and we will consider your request. We reserve the right not to agree to any such request if we deem it burdensome or otherwise injurious or inappropriate, except to the extent required by applicable law.
