PRIVACY POLICY
Effective May 14, 2018
This site is provided by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego
(BGCGSD). BGCGSD is committed to complying fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. BGCGSD does not intend to collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Our information collection practices are described below. While we encourage children to visit our site and learn more about our programs, we recommend, however, that parents approve and closely supervise the activity of their children at this and all other online sites. We urge children to check with their parents before entering information on any website and we urge parents to discuss with their children restrictions regarding the online release of personal information to anyone they don't know.
The Information BGCGSD Collects:
BGCGSD collects information in several ways from different parts of this site. BGCGSD may collect personal information from you when you register with this site. BGCGSD also may ask you for personal information at other times, such as when you ask a question or report a problem with this site. If you contact BGCGSD, BGCGSD may keep a record of that session or correspondence, including a record of your e-mail address. BGCGSD may also occasionally ask users to complete surveys for research purposes. There also may be services on this site that require you to fill out an online form or send BGCGSD an e-mail message in order to utilize these services. BGCGSD collects any information that you provide in such circumstances, including any personal information.
We may ask you for identifying and personal information to:
- Invite you to receive periodic e-mail updates about our progress: When you accept, or "opt in," we ask you to give us your e-mail address and respond to some questions that help us tailor our information to your interests. You can "opt out" of receiving these periodic updates at any time.
- Processing any online donations you make to BGCGSD: When you donate to honor someone else, we do not use the information you give us about that person for any other purpose.
- Accepting your online "registration" at our site: When you agree to give us identifying and personal information, you are giving that information only to BGCGSD and the parties we have involved in operating this site. You are giving it solely to enable the services this site provides.
- Processing registration information for online sweepstakes or contests on the BGCGSD website: When you agree to give us identifying and personal information, you are giving that information only to BGCGSD and the parties we have involved in operating this site. You are giving it solely to enable the services this site provides.
This list is not exhaustive, but meant to give the website user an idea of the data collecting on this website.
BGCGSD also may collect IP addresses, domain names, and similar items regarding users of this site to measure the number of visits, pages visited, average time spent on this site, and similar items.
"Cookies" may be used in connection with this site. A cookie is a small amount of identifier data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. By using cookies, information is potentially collected without your express knowledge. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies but permit you to change the setting to refuse cookies or to be alerted when cookies are being sent. While refusal to accept cookies will not prevent the use of some portions of this site, other portions of this site may not function properly without cookies.
How BGCGSD Uses the Information It Collects:
Generally, BGCGSD may use cookies and the information they provide to: (a) remind it of who you are; (b) access your account information in order to deliver to you better and more personalized service; (c) estimate its audience size; (d) determine the nature and extent of repeat usage; and (e) measure certain traffic patterns to understand how users' habits are similar or different from one another, so that BGCGSD may improve its site.
BGCGSD understands the importance of privacy and confidentiality to users of this site. BGCGSD will not share personal information you submit through this site with companies not affiliated with BGCGSD for purposes of marketing or promoting events, products, or similar items, unless such events, products, or similar items are related to BGCGSD, and except that BGCGSD may, from time to time, make personal information available to selected third parties, but only in the aggregate.
BGCGSD may disclose information it collects through this site when required to do so by a court, regulatory agency, subpoena, law, regulation, or other body of competent jurisdiction and authority, and for administrative and other purposes that BGCGSD deems necessary to maintain, service, and improve its products and services and to protect its rights and property. Finally, if you become involved in any violation of security, violation of this website's Terms of Use, or violation of any party's or third party's rights, BGCGSD may release information about you to assist in investigating, resolving, or remediating any such incidents.
Integrity and Security:
Not selling your information – BGCGSD will not sell, trade, rent or exchange its donor list and/or donors' personal information with any other organization. From time to time, BGCGSD will share donor or prospective donor information with Clubs to ensure collaborative efforts. If an individual requests that information be shared with a BG Club, the BGCGSD will comply with their wishes.
Use of SSL and encryption – When BGCGSD transfers and receives certain types of sensitive information (such as online donations and account information), we direct visitors to a secure server, which communicates via SSL encryption and which has been designed to reduce the possibility of interception and hacking. You’ll know that you’re in a secure area of our website when the "http" portion of the BGCGSD website address in your browser changes to "https." The "s" stands for "secure."
Restricting who has access to your information – BGCGSD takes precautions to ensure that your personal information is accessible only to authorized individuals, whom are required to comply with our privacy policy.
BGCGSD employs commercially reasonable managerial and technical measures to help protect the security and integrity of the personal information it collects online through this site. You acknowledge, however, that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while BGCGSD strives to protect your personal information, BGCGSD cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to or from this site.
Privacy Practices of Other Sites:
This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information BGCGSD collects online through this site, not information that BGCGSD collects through other sources. For your convenience, this site may contain links or addresses that you can simply click to open other useful sites where we do not control the content or privacy policy. Carefully review the approach these sites take to your privacy before you use them or provide them with information.
We assume no liability for any unauthorized actions of third parties or accidental transmission errors that may disclose information about you, and BGCGSD is not responsible for these other sites' privacy practices, which may be different from BGCGSD's privacy practices.
Contacting BGCGSD About Your Personal Information:
If you would like to review the personal information that BGCGSD has collected about you through this site in order to verify its accuracy and completeness, or if you have a question or complaint regarding BGCGSD's privacy practices, or to request that BGCGSD delete your personal information from its records, please contact Administration at info@sdyouth.org.
Changes to This Privacy Policy:
BGCGSD may revise this Privacy Policy at any time by updating this posting. Please consult this Privacy Policy regularly.
