Privacy Policy

Collection of information.

When ordering, registering, or donating on our website or via electronic or written communication, supporters/donors may be asked to provide personal information such as their name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number or credit card information. We use Google Analytics to collect information about your general locale, what browser you are using, what pages you visit, and how long you remain on our website. This information allows us to configure our website to better serve you. To see more about what data is collected and how Google may use your data, please visit the Google Partners page.

Use of information.

Information collected may be used to improve customer service, communicate with our supporters and/or to process transactions.
Protection of information.

A variety of security measures are used to maintain the safety of personal information entered or submitted to HealthEd Connect. For online services, a secure server is used. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into a payment gateway provider whose database is only accessible to those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and who are required to keep the information confidential. No data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, however. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.
After a transaction, private information such as credit card numbers or social security numbers will not be stored on our servers or in files.

Use of cookies.

We may send "cookies" to your computer or use similar technologies to enhance your online experience at our sites. "Cookies" are files that can identify you as a unique visitor and store your personal preferences as well as technical information (including click through and click stream data). You may adjust your browser to reject cookies from us. However, certain areas of our site may only be accessed in conjunction with cookies, and you should be aware that disabling cookies or similar devices might prevent you from accessing some of our content or features.

Disclosure of information.

Except as otherwise disclosed in this policy, personally identifiable information is not sold, traded, or otherwise transferred to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing our donors, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. Information may be released when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or pertinent to a governmental or judicial investigation, to enforce our site policies, or to protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Third party links.

Occasionally, at our discretion, third party products or services may be linked on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance.

We comply with the requirements of COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and do not knowingly collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our website products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older. Children’s activities in support of HealthEd Connect programs may be provided at the request of a sponsoring adult.

Changes to this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right at any time and without notice to change this Privacy Policy simply by posting such changes on our site. Any such change will be effective immediately upon posting.
