What Information Is Collected?

We collect PII from individual visitors, volunteers, or donors when you provide it voluntarily.  PII includes data such as names, addresses, phone numbers, ZIP codes, birthdays, and e-mail addresses.  It may also include information that is automatically provided when you visit our Site, such as your IP address or web browser data that we may use for analytics and Site functionality purposes, including using web browser cookies to improve your user experience.

Cookies are pieces of information that some websites transfer to the computer that is browsing that website, and are used for record-keeping purposes at many websites. Use of cookies makes Web-surfing easier by performing certain functions such as saving your passwords, your personal preferences regarding your use of the particular website, and to make sure you don’t see the same ad repeatedly. Your browser is probably set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our Site will not function properly when you view them.

If you would like more information about what PII we collect, would like us to stop using your PII, or simply wish to unsubscribe from our mailing list, please contact us at: info@furniturebank.org.

 

What Do We Do With Information?

We use PII in support of our organization’s mission. Uses include contacting you about programs and activities and requesting and facilitating donations.  Managing a non-profit organization also requires us to share your PII with certain third parties. We may share PII with third parties when (i) the person submitting the PII authorizes us to share it; (ii) the third party performs a function for us directly related to the operation of the Site or our organization, such as contacting our supporters or processing payments; or (iii) we are required to by law or court order to do so.

We maintain reasonable security measures to protect your PII from unauthorized use.  While no protections are completely secure, we strive to apply best practices to protect your PII from unauthorized physical and digital access.

Links to Third Party Sites

We provide links to third party websites, such as payment providers or unaffiliated organizations, on our Site.  You understand and agree that your use of such third party sites will be governed by the applicable privacy policies of those sites and not by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third party websites.

SMS/Mobile Messaging

We offer a text message reminder program to our clients.  Clients may voluntarily enroll themselves when they register for our assistance programs.  We do not have a charge for this service; however, data and message rates may apply from your mobile carrier.  Clients may opt out of our text message reminder program at any time by texting “STOP” in response to a reminder text message.

If you have a concern or question about this Privacy Policy, about privacy at the Site, or to inquire about any PII you provided us, please send an email with your question or concern to info@furniturebank.org.
