This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through your communications with O.U.R., whether electronic, written or oral; information collected through O.U.R. mobile applications (“Apps”) or O.U.R. websites (“Sites”) that include a link to this Privacy Policy; as well as any other information about you that we may collect offline or receive from third-parties (collectively, Apps, Sites, and offline or third-party information are referred to as the “Services”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTION

Collection of information that identifies you as an individual or information which is linked or linkable to you as an individual, is referred to throughout this Privacy Statement as “Personal Information.”

When you engage with O.U.R. or visit or use our website, we collect a variety of information. In general, the type and amount of information we collect on you will depend on how you choose to interact with O.U.R.

If you make a donation to O.U.R. or make a retail purchase on an O.U.R. website, we will collect payment information such as your credit card number to process your transaction. We may use a third-party payment service to process donation payments. We will retain your credit card information only for as long as necessary to process the transaction. In addition, if you make a donation or a retail purchase we may will collect Personal Information from you that may include: your name, address, telephone number, and/or e-mail address so that we can send you a receipt and thank you for your donation or send the items purchased. We may also collect limited additional financial information to process your donations and/or purchase.

We may use or interact with third-parties to conduct fundraising campaigns, promotions or events. In these instances, we may receive access to donor reports which includes donor name, contact information and donation amount. We also may receive your Personal Information if you respond to a marketing campaign or other promotion benefitting O.U.R. that is conducted by a third party.

If you seek employment with O.U.R. or volunteer for O.U.R., we will collect information related to your role. For instance, we will collect employment history information if you submit a resume to O.U.R. If you are volunteering to assist in an O.U.R. event, we may collect information relating to the volunteer services to be performed.

We do not provide member information to telemarketers, mailing list brokers, or other companies that are not offering O.U.R.-endorsed services or benefits.

There are also optional opportunities for you to share your preferences and interests.

OTHER INFORMATION COLLECTED

We gather certain broad information about website use including the number of unique visitors, the frequency with which they visit, and the programs and services preferred. We look at the data in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. We gather this information so we can learn how many people visit O.U.R. sites, which pages are the most and least viewed, and which websites are referring visitors to our sites. We use this information to help us in restructuring sites to meet our needs. O.U.R. sites do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

Cookies. O.U.R. online network utilizes a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how our sites are used. Cookies are small strings of text stored on your computer’s hard drive by a Web server. For example, session cookies identify your computer during a particular session to track the items you have placed in your “shopping cart” during a visit to our online stores. O.U.R. uses cookies in conjunction with third parties (such as Facebook and Google) to provide measurement on marketing campaigns and send targeted advertisements to internet users. O.U.R. does not use any personally identifiable information when targeting users for advertisements. Using cookies allows personally identifiable information to remain undisclosed. If you would like to opt-out of cookie collection, you can disable and or block third-party cookies in the settings section of your internet browser. If you would like to choose which third parties can use cookies on your internet browser and or see a list of the third parties which are using cookies on your internet browser, you can visit: optout.aboutads.info. Please note that if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to access certain interactive features and Services offered on O.U.R. sites.
Browser and Device Information. Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Mac), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, Internet browser type and version and the name and version of the Services (such as the App) you are using. We use this information to ensure that the Services function properly.
Internet Protocol Address. Your IP address is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. An IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the O.U.R. Services, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications, and other services. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, diagnosing server problems and administering Services. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
Web Server Traffic Pattern Information and Browsing History. We collect standard web server traffic pattern information and your browsing history. General traffic, site usage, browser information and length of stay information is collected and stored in log files.
Using pixel tags and other similar technologies. Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used to, among other things, track the online actions of users of the Services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the Services and response rates.
De-Identified or Aggregate Information. We use De-Identified Information and Aggregate Information for activities including data analysis and research. “De-Identified Information” means information where identifiers have been removed so that it does not directly or indirectly identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. “Aggregate Information” means information about groups or categories of individuals which does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. For example, we may use Aggregate Information to compare the types of services our constituents utilize in one geographic location with another to understand how the two groups are different or similar.
Uses and Disclosures of Other Information. We may use and disclose other information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. In some instances, we may combine other information with Personal Information. If we do this, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information. For example, we may work with data providers to tailor our communications to you, including fundraising and outreach communications, based on your areas of interest and other information about you. To do this, we may place cookies on your browser and combine IP address or browsing history with other de-identified data (such as a hashed, non-readable e-mail or postal address). We may then communicate with you through mail, email or other channels.
