Last modified May 27, 2021
PLEASE REVIEW THIS POLICY CAREFULLY
The following describes how Goodnation Philanthropy Advisors (“Goodnation,” “we,” “us” or “our”) uses and disseminates information you provide through www.goodnation.io and its sub-domains and affiliated sites, as well as Goodnation pages and accounts on Twitter®, Facebook®, LinkedIn®, Google Plus®, Instagram® and YouTube® (the “Sites). When we refer to “Partnership” we are referring to donors, nonprofits, foundations, donor-advised funds, wealth advisors, and any other interested clients or partners. If you ever have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at the information below. Please also review our full Terms and Conditions of Use, which also govern your use of the Sites. By using this Site, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Unless we expressly note otherwise, such as in a form, we do not collect personally identifiable information from users of our Sites. When you visit our Sites, some information about your computer hardware and software is inherently automatically collected, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, access time and referring website addresses. We typically do not use this information for any purpose, but an example of when we may use this information is in implementing improvements and analyzing the Sites and for troubleshooting purposes. We also utilize this information to monitor and improve services and to ensure that your use of the Sites is in compliance with our Terms of Use.
Some services and Partnerships may require you to provide us with Personal Data and Organization or Company Data through forms including email opt-ins, inquiry forms, donor profile forms, donation forms, nonprofit remittance forms, and nonprofit applications. In such a case, you may choose to withhold any Personal Data requested by us, but it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site or content. We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a Partnership with you. We will not require you to provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition of entering into a Partnership with us.
INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY LAWS AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR
If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information to the United States where our servers are located. Information you submit may then be transferred within the United States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of your country of residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored by us. These countries (including the United States) may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensive as your country of residence; however, our collection, storage, and use of your data will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.
If you are a member of the European Union (EU), you have special rights under the GDPR. Those include: You have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right to portability of your data. All complaints must be sent to hello@goodnation.io. You also have the right to erasure, rectification, access, or to seek restrictions to the processing of your personal data in our system. To the extent you provide consent to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Any withdrawal of consent does not apply to data collected lawfully prior to such consent. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority containing jurisdiction over GDPR related issues.
COOKIES: WHAT THEY ARE, AND WHY THEY ARE NEEDED
A cookie is a data text file sent from a website to your browser, for the purpose of identifying the user and allows access to portions of the website, thus alleviating the need to continually log in with your username and password. Cookies may be stored within your system. To the extent we use cookies, we can only access information from a cookie sent by one of the Sites, not other websites. We may use cookies to personalize your visit to our Sites because tracking usage allows us to best determine the needs of our clients and partners.
OUR POLICY WITH MINORS.
Our Sites are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you may only use the Sites under the supervision of a parent or guardian. We do not collect or maintain information from anyone known to be under the age of 18, and no part of this website is designed to attract anyone under the age of 18. We do not sell products or services intended for purchase by children. If we discover or are otherwise notified that we have received any such information from a child in violation of this policy, we will delete that information.
DATA RETENTION
We only retain Personal Data collected from Users for as long as you choose to receive communications from us and/or as long as we are working together through one of our services or Partnerships, or otherwise for a limited period of time as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes for which we have initially collected it unless otherwise required by law. We will retain and use information as necessary to comply with my legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements for a period of time. Accounting, billing, and contact information will be retained for 5 years for these reasons.
USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
If you do choose to provide your personal information, we will not willingly share your information with companies outside our organization, except as described in this Privacy Policy. You may at times receive communications from us related to products and services that we believe might interest you. While we believe these services may enhance your time spent at the Sites, you will at all times have the option and ability to opt out from receiving these communications by specifically choosing to do so via a link which will be provided within emails that we send to you. We may disclose total aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to potential advertisers, other third parties, affiliate companies, and for other lawful purposes.
The information we gather from you may be used in several ways, either now or in the future, to gain a better understanding of our Sites’ users and their usage pattern as a whole, for site administration and troubleshooting, to process transactions, contest entries and other matters you initiate, to identify preferences in content and advertising, to target editorial, advertising or other content (such as promotions, special offers or other content) we think might be of interest to you. We may also use information we gather from you to communicate changes and improvements to our website or any registration you have made.
You have the right to request access to the information we have for you. You can do this by contacting us at hello@goodnation.io. We will make sure to provide you with a copy of the data we process about you. In order to comply with your request, we may ask you to verify your identity. We will fulfill your request by sending your copy electronically unless the request specifies a different method. If you believe that the information we have about it is incorrect, or if you wish to remove your private information (such as an email address provided in an opt-in), you may contact us at hello@goodnation.io. Any data that is no longer needed for the purposes specified herein will be deleted.
We do not give away, sell, rent or lease any users’ personally identifiable information to any merchant, advertiser or web publisher. However, non-personally identifiable user information (such as usage pattern, browser type, and your computer) may be shared with third party businesses or advertisers with which we have a business or contractual relationship. We reserve the right to disclose personal information when needed to comply with the law or a legal process, cooperate with investigations of purported unlawful activities, to identify persons violating the law, in connection with the sale of part or all of Goodnation’s or its affiliates' assets, or to enforce my Terms of Use.
Please keep in mind that if you disclose personally identifiable information in a public manner through the Sites, this information may be collected and used by others accessing those portions of the Sites. We do not monitor information you disclose on the Sites nor do we accept any liability associated with your voluntary disclosure of the same.
You are responsible for reviewing the privacy statements and policies of other websites you choose to link to or from the Sites, so that you may understand how those sites collect, use and store your information. We are not responsible for the privacy statements, policies or content of any other websites. Websites containing co-branding (referencing our name and a third party’s name) contain content delivered by the third party and not me.
We share information with other parties as it pertains to fulfilling Partnerships, such as between donors and nonprofits and donor-advised funds. Donors may choose to remain anonymous and should let your Goodnation Philanthropy Advisor know in advance.
