This Privacy Policy describes the types of information gathered by Get More Donations Inc. (“Get More Donations”, “us” or “we”) in the process of providing this website (https://getmoredonations.com/) (the “Site”), the cloud-based platform (the “Software”) and the data, services, information, tools, functionality, updates and similar materials (collectively, the “Service”), how we use it, with whom the information may be shared, what choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of information and our efforts to protect the information you provide to us through the Service.

By using the Service, you hereby consent to allow us to process information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please also refer to our Terms of Service, available here https://getmoredonations.com/terms, which are hereby incorporated as if fully recited herein. Any defined terms found, but not defined herein, shall have the same definition as in the Terms of Service.

Territoriality

Regardless of where our servers are located, your personal data may be processed by us in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may or may not be to the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. BY VISITING THE SITE AND USING THE SERVICE, YOU UNEQUIVOCALLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING IN THE UNITED STATES OF ANY INFORMATION COLLECTED OR OBTAINED BY US THROUGH VOLUNTARY SUBMISSIONS, AND, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, THAT U.S. LAW GOVERNS ANY SUCH COLLECTION AND PROCESSING.

This Privacy Policy is subject to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), and other applicable privacy laws. Get More Donations agrees that under the GDPR, it is a data “Controller” and you, if you are an individual and reside in the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, the European Union, or Switzerland (collectively, and for the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the “EEA”), are a “Data Subject” with certain protected privacy rights concerning your “Personal Data.” Similarly, under the CCPA, we are a “Business”, and you, if you are an individual residing in California, are a “Consumer” with certain protected privacy rights concerning your “Personal Information”. We will take commercially reasonable steps to maintain compliance with GDPR and CCPA requirements. Your Personal Data and Personal Information may identify you as a person, and thus may be referred to as Personally Identifiable Information ("PII").

1. Who collects your information on our service?

We do. Under the CCPA we are a “Business” and pursuant to the GDPR, Get More Donations is what is known as the “Controller” of the PII that you provide to us. We collect information from you on the Service, and we are responsible for protection of your information.

2. What information does Get More Donations collect?

1. Personal Information. We collect certain Personal Information about you, which may be supplied when you sign-up for the Service, when you complete a survey, when you create or update an account, when you use the Service, when you request services, or otherwise when you submit such information. We only collect basic personal data about you that does not include any special types of information (e.g., health-related) as defined in the GDPR, or location-based information. The types of personal information we collect and save include:

   • Contact and account information such as name, email address, physical address, location data, phone number, and social media information, such as your username and other information collected through the Service’s social media integration;
   • Technical information collected in our logs. Such information may include standard web log entries that contain your IP address, cookies (first party, third party, session, persistent, and flash), web beacons, page URL and timestamp.

   You may provide us information when you interact with us through email, online chat, messaging functions within the Service, or otherwise. We may retain such information in order to provide you with services, and you agree that we may share this information as needed with other users in order to resolve any issues that may arise between you and another user of the Service.

   The Service may record photos, audio or video of your usage of the Service for quality and security purposes. The Service may also request permission and access to your photo gallery, camera roll or other device storage holding your images, audio or videos, in order for you to upload and transmit them through the Service.

   You may also provide us information when you access and use the Service, and when you interact with other users through the Service.

   Although it may appear that the Service collects financial information, it is actually collected and processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe, (“Payment Processor”) to process payments for the Service. Our Payment Processor may collect information such as banking information or credit card number, name, CVV code or date of expiration, from you on the Service. We do not hold your financial information.

Non-Personal Information is anonymous or non-personally identifiable information about you, including but not limited to links and materials posted, information about your web browser, enrollment history, purchase history, the pages accessed most frequently, how pages are used, applications downloaded, search terms entered, and similar non-personal data.

   Automatically tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is one method of automatically collecting information about your activities online and information volunteered by you. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your device whenever you surf the internet. Further, the Service may utilize web beacons, pixel tags, cookies, embedded links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. Through collecting your IP address, we may be able to approximate your geographic location, however, unless and until this is information is paired with your Personal Information, it cannot be used to identify you.

3. Aggregate Information. We may also collect anonymous, non-identifying and aggregate information such as the type of browser you are using, the date and time of any request, language preference, referring site, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.

3. Why is my information being collected?

We accept and gather information in an effort to provide the Service to you. We need to collect your personal information so that we can respond to your requests for information or to be added to our email lists, to integrate with social media platforms, and to process your payment for the Service. We also collect aggregate information to help us better design the Service. We collect log information for monitoring purposes to help us to diagnose problems with our servers, administer the Service, calculate usage levels, and otherwise provide services to you.

4. How do we use the information we collect?

5. Co-branded site(s)

We may partner with other companies to provide you with content or Services on a joint or “co-branded” basis. At a co-branded site, you will see both our logo and the logo of the co-branding partner displayed on your screen. In the instance of a co-branded site, we will still be the entity collecting your information, and our Privacy Policy will apply to that information. However, the privacy policy of our co-branding partner may still apply as well. You should read the individual privacy policies of our co-branding partners, as they may differ in some respects from ours. Reading these policies will help you to make an informed decision about whether to provide your information to a given site.

6. Do we share your personal information?

We will not share your personal information except: (a) for the purposes for which you provided it; (b) with your consent; (c) as may be required by law or as we think necessary to protect our organization or others from injury (e.g., in response to a court order or subpoena, in response to a law enforcement agency request, or when we believe that someone is causing, or is about to cause, injury to or interference with the rights or property of another); or (d) with persons or organizations with whom we contract to carry out internal operations or business activities. With your knowledge and consent, we may share your personal information with our business partners.

We may also share aggregate information with others, including affiliated and non-affiliated organizations, including Customers, co-branding partners, and co-owners of the Site.

Finally, we may transfer your PII to a third party, or our successor-in-interest, in relation to, or in the event of, a merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other change of control. After such disclosure or transfer, the third party or successor in interest may use the information in accordance with applicable law.

7. How can you access and control your information?

After becoming a user of the Service, you may revise or edit your information through your account or by sending an email to [email protected].

We will also promptly stop using your information and remove it from our servers and database at any time upon your e-mail request. To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access, making corrections or removing your information.

8. How do we store and protect your information?

1. After receiving your personal information, we will store it on our servers for future use. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or data storage solution can ever be completely secure. As a result, although we take industry-standard steps to protect your information (e.g., strong encryption), we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or receive from us or that we store on our or our service providers' systems.
2. Please note that we encrypt any PII our possession and are compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v. 3.2 under the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) A standard. Further, all data transfers are through secure http protocol (HTTPS), and as such are encrypted. We also restrict access to PII to key employees and log all instances of access to PII. Our Payment Processor is fully PCI-Compliant and encrypts all payment transactions using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
3. If you are visiting the Site from outside of the USA, you understand that your connection will be through and to servers located in the USA, and the information you provide will be securely stored in our servers and internal systems located within the USA.

1. To enhance your online experience with us, our web pages may presently or in the future use "cookies." Cookies are text files that our web server may place on your hard disk to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other PII unless you choose to provide this information to us. Once you choose to provide PII, however, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. Although it may be possible to turn off the collection of cookies through your device or browser, certain features of the Services may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

4. Get More Donations or our service providers may also use "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags") in connection with some Get More Donations Site pages and HTML-formatted email messages for purposes of, among other things, compiling aggregate statistics about website usage and response rates. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily not visible to website visitors and may be associated with cookies on visitors’ hard drives. Pixel Tags allow us and our service providers to count users who have visited certain pages of the Get More Donations Site, to deliver customized services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can inform the sender of the email whether and when the email has been opened.
5. Our Service uses the “Custom Audience pixel” of Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”)) on our website. This allows user behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you, based on our knowledge of the situation. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. The legal basis for the use of this service is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads by contacting the following address: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
6. As you use the internet, you leave a trail of electronic information at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data”, can be collected and stored by a website's server. Clickstream data can reveal the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Get More Donations Site. We may use clickstream data as a form of non-personally identifiable information to determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Site, how visitors navigate through the Site, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. We will only use this information to improve our site.
7. Do Not Track. At present, the Site does not specifically respond to browser do-not-track signals.

10. Collection of information by others.

Our Terms of Service document identifies certain third-party websites to which we may provide links, and that you may click on our Site. Please check the privacy policies of these other websites to learn how they collect, use, store and share information that you may submit to them or that they collect.

With respect to Personal Information being disclosed for a business purpose, the consumer shall receive the categories of information disclosed and the types of entities they have been disclosed to. This right may not be exercised more than twice in a 12-month period.

   • In the event that you exercise one of your rights under the CCPA, you will not be discriminated by us in any way, including by the denial of goods or services, providing you a different level of goods or services, or charging you different prices or rates for the goods or services, unless the change in price is reasonably related to the value you receive from your personal information.

2. How do you exercise your rights under the CCPA?

   • Because we offer the Services exclusively online, you may submit your requests to exercise your rights under the CCPA by emailing us at [email protected], please include “Request for Privacy Information” in the subject line.
   • We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 business days of receiving it, and will do our very best to respond within 45 calendar days of receipt of your request, and in no event will our response come more than 90 days after receiving your request.

For requests to delete information, after verification, we will confirm the consumer’s desire to delete one final time before actually deleting the information. If the identity of the Requestor cannot be reasonably verified, either as the consumer or their agent, then in order to protect that consumer, we shall not disclose the personal information requested.
