Hope for Hallie (“Hope for Hallie,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you share with us through our website, https://hopeforhallie.org/ (the “Site”), and any online services, forms, communications, donation pages, event registration pages, or other features that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect from visitors to the Site and users of the Services, how we may use and share that information, and the choices you may have regarding your information. By accessing or using the Site or Services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should not use the Site or Services.
We may collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be associated with you, such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, donation information, event registration information, messages or inquiries you submit, and other information you voluntarily provide through the Site or Services (“Personal Information”). We may also collect content you choose to provide to us, including stories, experiences, photos, videos, comments, or other submissions, to the extent such content contains Personal Information. If you choose to make information publicly available through the Site or Services, you should understand that we cannot control the actions of third parties who may view, collect, or use that information.
We may also collect certain information automatically when you visit the Site or interact with the Services, including your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring and exit pages, date and time of visit, pages viewed, and similar usage information. We may use this information in aggregate or de-identified form to understand how visitors use the Site, improve the Site and Services, and support other lawful purposes.
We may collect information in a form that does not identify you personally, including aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information (“Aggregate Information”). We may collect, use, retain, and disclose Aggregate Information without restriction, provided that it does not identify you.
You may visit many portions of the Site without providing Personal Information. Certain features, however, may ask you to provide Personal Information, such as when you contact us, sign up for updates, make a donation, register for an event, participate in a campaign, submit a story, or otherwise interact with the Site or Services. If you make a donation or complete another transaction through the Site, we or our service providers may collect information needed to process the transaction, send confirmations or receipts, maintain donation records, and communicate with you about your transaction.
Please do not submit sensitive or confidential information through general contact forms or email addresses unless we specifically request it and provide a secure method for doing so. If you provide information about another person, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, tracking links, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, improve user experience, measure engagement, analyze Site traffic, and understand the effectiveness of our communications and outreach. You can usually set your browser to refuse cookies, notify you when cookies are being sent, or remove existing cookies. If you disable cookies, some features of the Site or Services may not function properly.
We may use web beacons or similar technologies in emails or online communications to help determine whether messages are opened, whether links are clicked, and how users interact with our communications. We are primarily interested in this information in aggregate form to evaluate and improve our communications, although in some circumstances this information may be associated with Personal Information.
We may use third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the Site and Services. These analytics services may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring and exit pages, and date and time of visit. We may use analytics information to evaluate Site performance, improve the Site and Services, and better understand visitor interests and needs.
We may also use cookies, pixels, beacons, or similar technologies to measure engagement with content, including whether certain pages, videos, forms, or other materials are viewed or used. Where applicable, third-party advertising networks or platforms may use cookies or similar technologies to provide interest-based advertising or to measure the effectiveness of outreach campaigns. You may be able to opt out of certain interest-based advertising through tools provided by your browser, device, advertising networks, or applicable platforms.
At this time, because there is no common or accepted industry standard for responding to “Do Not Track” signals, the Site may not respond to such browser signals.
We may use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the Site and Services; respond to your inquiries; process donations, registrations, or other transactions; provide confirmations and receipts; send newsletters, updates, event information, fundraising appeals, and other communications; maintain records; personalize or improve user experience; analyze usage trends; protect the security and integrity of the Site and Services; comply with legal obligations; and carry out other purposes described when the information is collected. We may use information you voluntarily provide to better understand our community, tailor our communications and services, and support our mission-related activities. We may use Aggregate Information for any lawful purpose, including analytics, reporting, research, and improving the Site and Services.
If you provide your email address or other contact information, we may use it to communicate with you about your inquiries, donations, registrations, participation in programs or events, newsletters, announcements, fundraising opportunities, or other information related to Hope for Hallie. You may opt out of receiving promotional or newsletter communications by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those communications or by contacting us as described below. Certain administrative, transactional, service-related, or legally required communications may still be sent even if you opt out of promotional communications.
If you wish to update, correct, or request deletion of Personal Information you have provided to us, you may contact us using the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We may retain information as required or permitted by law, for recordkeeping purposes, to complete transactions, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce agreements, or for other legitimate operational purposes.
We may share Personal Information with vendors, service providers, contractors, consultants, and other third parties who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, event registration, data storage, security, donor management, and other operational support. These service providers are authorized to use Personal Information only as necessary to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by law.
We may share Personal Information when you direct us to do so, when you consent to the sharing, or when sharing is necessary to provide a product, service, event, program, transaction, or communication you request. We may also disclose Personal Information if required or permitted by law, including to comply with a subpoena, court order, legal process, government request, or other legal obligation. We may disclose Personal Information when we believe it is necessary or appropriate to prevent, investigate, detect, or prosecute fraud, security incidents, criminal activity, or attacks on the technical integrity of the Site or our network. We may disclose Personal Information to protect the rights, privacy, property, safety, or security of Hope for Hallie, our users, donors, volunteers, partners, personnel, or others.
If Hope for Hallie is involved in a merger, reorganization, consolidation, asset sale, dissolution, or similar transaction, Personal Information may be transferred or disclosed in connection with that transaction, subject to applicable law. We do not sell donor Personal Information, and we do not trade or share donor Personal Information with third parties for their independent fundraising or marketing purposes, except as described in this Privacy Policy or with your consent.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, applications, platforms, payment processors, social media pages, or other services that we do not own or control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party before providing information to that third party.
If the Site or Services allow you to submit stories, comments, testimonials, fundraising pages, discussion posts, photos, videos, or other content for public display, the information you choose to share may be visible to other visitors and the general public. You should use care when deciding what information to make public. If you would like us to remove information you have submitted for public display, please contact us using the contact information below, and we will review your request in accordance with applicable law and our operational capabilities.
We take reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect Personal Information submitted to us. Where appropriate, information submitted through secure areas of the Site may be encrypted using Secure Socket Layer or similar technology during transmission. No method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, although we strive to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or improperly collect, access, use, disclose, alter, or destroy information.
Any email or other communication that appears to come from Hope for Hallie and asks you to provide sensitive information through an unsecured channel should be treated as suspicious. If you receive such a communication, please contact us using the contact information below.
The Site and Services are not intended to collect Personal Information from children without appropriate consent. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13 through the Site or Services. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided Personal Information through the Site or Services, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information from our records, unless retention is required or permitted by law. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided Personal Information to us, please contact us using the contact information below.
