Chicago Global Citizens ("CGC") values you and respects
your privacy. We recognize that we must maintain and use information
we collect responsibly.
This policy describes what personal information we collect and how we use it.
You can always find the most current version of our privacy policy at www.chicagogc.org/privacy.htm
Collection and Use of Personal Information
We collect personal information when you donate to a project.
This information is used to facilitate your donations, to contact you
when necessary, and to improve your experience.
Making a Donation
When you make an online donation on chicagogc.org, we collect
personal information such as your name, billing address, and email address.
Credit card numbers are collected by a third-party payment vendor named
PayPal. Their use of your information is based on their terms of service
and policies, which you should review. CGC does not collect or have access
to the credit card numbers through PayPal.
Technical Information
We may collect some technical information about how you access
and use our site. Cookies are small files that a website stores on your
computer. We use cookies to collect information such as what type of
browser you are using, the website from which you enter chicagogc.org,
and the pages you view as you tour our site. We use this information
to help us compile aggregate statistics that allow us to make improvements
in design and content to better serve you. An IP address is a number
that is assigned to your computer when you are using the Internet. Like
most websites, we identify your computer by its IP address. We use this
to monitor information, such as the number of visitors that visit our
website.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We reserve the right to publicly list your name as a donor to
CGC within seven days of your donation unless you contact us in writing
within said period to opt out of such recognition. In such instances,
we will not disclose any information beyond your full name.
We will only share your personal information, aside from the purpose described
above, to other parties at your request, such as when you require a receipt for
tax purposes for donations made to third-parties with whom CGC is collaborating
with. In such instances, these third parties are provided with your information
only to the extent necessary to serve these purposes, or as otherwise authorized
by this policy.
Aside from the purposes described above, we will not disclose your personal information
without your
express
consent, unless: (1) we need to respond to a subpoena, court order
or legal process; (2) an emergency situation requires disclosure before your
permission can be obtained (e.g., situations involving potential threats to personal
safety), or; (3) to protect our rights or property, or the rights or property
of another person.
We may share aggregated demographic and statistical information with our partners.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual
person.
Links to Other Websites
Other websites have their own privacy policies. When you provide
personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy
policy of the operator of that site, not the CGC privacy policy. We encourage
you to read that policy before submitting any personal information.
You should take additional steps to safeguard your personal information online.
To learn more about how to protect yourself, visit the Federal
Trade Commission website.
Privacy Policy Updates
Our privacy policy is regularly reviewed to make sure we continue
to serve the privacy interests of our community. If our information practices
change materially, we will post the policy changes on the privacy page
of this website to notify you of these changes. Please check our website
periodically for more information on how we use the data we collect.
Contact Us
We try to reply promptly to every message we receive. This information
is used to respond directly to your questions or comments. We also may
file your comments and share them with our team to improve your future
experience. If you still have questions or concerns regarding our privacy
policy, please contact us.
