What personal data we collect
The Website collects two types of information: 1) personally identifiable information that is voluntarily provided by you, such as your name, physical address, email address, telephone number; and 2) non personal statistical information, such as site traffic and usage patterns. We use industry standard technology, including cookies, without limitation, to collect such information. We may also use cookies to collect information to facilitate recognizing you as a previous visitor in connection with your future visits to the Website and to track your activity on the Website. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of the Website might not work properly without cookies.
We may collect your name, email address, and other information you provide when you visit our website or sign up for emails. During the grant application process, we may collect contact details, organizational financial records, tax/bank details for payments, demographics, and other information you choose to provide.
We also use a third-party web analytics service, Google Analytics, to measure, analyze and report on access to and usage of our Site. The information generated by the Google Analytics cookie about visitors to the Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
How We Use Your Data
We use your submitted data to send communications (like newsletters), process grant applications, manage payments, respond to inquiries, improve our operations, ensure compliance, and for compatible charitable purposes.
We may use automatically collected site data to administer and improve our Website, understand user interests and demographics for better service, analyze traffic, and for security purposes like fraud prevention. We may combine data you provide and automatically collected data with publicly available information.
We may also use your information as required by law, to respond to legal requests, enforce our terms, protect rights and safety, pursue remedies, prevent illegal activity, or for other legitimate operational needs.
Providing personal data is optional but may be necessary for specific activities (like grants or newsletters). Please only provide data specifically requested by the Foundation.
Cookies
Consistent with most websites, and subject to applicable consent requirements for non-essential cookies, we use cookies and pixel tags to collect such activity information. Cookies are small text files used to collect information and pixels are transparent images that allow us to understand how users interact with our Website.
Unless otherwise required by law, necessary cookies will be placed when you visit the sites. If you opt-out of targeting, performance, and/or functional cookies when you visit the sites by changing your consent preferences, those cookies will not be placed. Further, you can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If, however, you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the sites may become inaccessible or not function properly. Browser-management tools for cookies are outside of our control and we cannot guarantee their effectiveness.
Embedded content from other websites
This Website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. Data may be shared within the foundation or with foundation service providers. We use a variety of vendors and service providers that help us with our administrative, operational, and logistical activities such as maintaining our sites, email and document management, payment processing, and facilitating programs or events. We require these companies and individuals to use your information only as necessary to provide applicable services to us.
How long we retain your data
We retain personal data only for as long as needed to achieve the purposes for which it was collected, or as otherwise required or allowed by applicable law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
Any request for a copy of or to delete your personal information may be made in writing and we will endeavor to respond within a reasonable period in compliance with applicable data protection legislation. If you wish to review, update, correct, or remove the information we have for you, please email info@baughfoundation.org
How we protect your data
The Foundation strives to collect and store data in a manner that protects their confidentiality, acknowledging that no data transmission is entirely secure. Although the Foundation seeks to keep information in a secure environment to safeguard the confidentiality of users’ personal information, the Foundation cannot guarantee complete security.
