Welcome to GrantmakersforGirlsofColor.org. This privacy policy and terms of use describes how we treat the information we collect through the Site and visitor rights.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Personal Information. We may collect and store any information that you choose to enter through the Site. This includes personal information, such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, zip code, and other information (personal and non-personal) about you that you may submit through the Site, including through any content that you provide. We may require that you provide some personal information in order to register and participate in certain features we offer. In some cases, we may combine this information with personal information we have collected about you from other sources.

Automatic Information. We may automatically collect some information about your computer when you visit the Site. For example, we may collect your IP address, Web browser software (such as Internet Explorer), and referring web Site. We also may collect information about your activity on the Site, such as information about your account usage. We may combine this automatically-gathered information with other information, including personal information we have collected about you.

Cookies. When you visit the Site, we may assign your computer a “cookie” (a small, unique identifier text file) to remember who you are. We also may include other information in our cookie files; for example, if you arrived at the Site via a link from a third-party Site, we may include the URL of the linking page. We may combine the information we collect through cookies with other information, including personal information we have collected about you. Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. The Site’s information collection and disclosure practices, and the choices that we provide to consumers, will continue to operate as described in this Privacy Policy, whether or not a Do Not Track signal is received.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We have implemented procedures to help protect the personal information that you provide to us. However, no method of transmitting or storing electronic data is ever completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that such information will never be accessed, used, or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this policy.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Should we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete that information from our database.

A SPECIAL WORD ABOUT PUBLIC FORUMS

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online in public forums, that information can be collected and used by others. For this reason, we encourage users not to post any sensitive information, including personal information, in any public forums. If you are under 18 years old and would like to remove material that you have posted in a public forum, please contact [email protected] and include a direct hyperlink to the post in question.
