This policy applies to personal data we collect, including through this website, other Foundation registration, electronic forms, surveys, , and any other channel or mobile feature that we operate (collectively, “our sites”). In these instances, the Foundation is the controller responsible for your personal data.

Supplemental privacy policies

This policy may be supplemented by a supplemental privacy policy applicable to a particular interaction with us, which may be either embedded in this policy or made available to you separately. We will tell you when a supplemental privacy policy applies.

Links to third-party sites

This policy does not apply to any third-party sites that may link to, or be accessible from, our sites. We are not responsible for any of the content, features, functionality, or privacy practices of other linked sites or services. The data collection and use practices of any linked third-party site will be governed by that third party’s applicable privacy policy, statement, or policy, and its terms of use. We encourage you to read them.

What data we collect about you

Data you provide about yourself

We collect your personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us. For example, you may give us: your email address if you choose to receive newsletters, updates, or other information from us; your contact information, and any other personal data you choose to include, if you email us; and any personal data contained in, or included with, any proposal documents, feedback, comments, photos, videos, or other information you submit to us.

It is always your choice whether to provide this personal data. However, some personal data must be provided to participate in certain programs, activities, or events (such as to sign up for a newsletter, apply for a job, or register to participate in one of our events), so the decision not to provide information might limit or eliminate such functions of our sites or your ability to participate in such programs, activities, or events. Please do not disclose more personal data than is requested.

Personal data you provide about others

Do not provide personal data about others unless you are authorized or required to do so by contract or applicable law. You may provide personal data on behalf of another person if you have provided them with a copy of this policy and any applicable supplemental privacy policy, and obtained their explicit consent. We may ask you to provide evidence of that policy and consent.

Data we receive from third parties and other sources

We may receive personal data about you from other sources, including your company/organization, professional references, publicly-available sources, third-party analytics providers, and other third parties. For example, we may receive your personal data if: someone at your company/organization designates you as a contact person for that company/organization or includes information about you in proposal documents; another visitor includes it in any feedback, comments, photos, videos, or other information submitted to us; or one of our employees or service providers provides or a third party acting on apparent authority provides it to us when registering you to access our sites, apply for a job, or participate in one of our events.

Please be aware that Payment Processors have their own privacy policies and those terms will apply to you regarding how that Payment Processor handles your personal data. Depending on your donation, you may be re-directed to a third-party site for payment. Please be sure to review any linked policies provided during payment processing as they will apply to you.

Interest-based advertising

We may use third-party service providers to serve our advertisements across the Internet. These companies may use tracking technologies to collect information about your visits to our sites and other websites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications.

Other companies may also use such technology to advertise on our sites.
