Privacy Policy
SCOPE; INTRODUCTION
Legacy Youth Leadership, Inc. (“Legacy”; “we”; “us”) is committed to safeguarding your privacy. This Privacy Policy – effective as of the above date – governs your access to and use of the website https://legacyyouthleadership.org/ and all pages combined within it that are owned or operated by Legacy, including but not limited to text, content, photographs, video, audio, graphics, and services therein (collectively, the “Site”).
Legacy adheres to a rigid policy for protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information collected through our Site. Legacy is committed to the highest standards of integrity in all fundraising efforts and to the ethical collection, retention, and use of personally identifiable information of our donors and Site users.
This Privacy Policy describes Legacy’s policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of information collected from you via this Site. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the Site, and please consult it regularly. By accessing or using the Site or its services (including but not limited to donating online to Legacy), you signify your acceptance of all provisions of this Privacy Policy, in addition to our terms of use (“Terms”), available at https://legacyyouthleadership.org/terms. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy and/or our Terms, you should elect not to visit the Site.
CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY
Legacy reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time at its sole discretion. Such changes will be effective immediately upon posting them to the Site. Your use of the Site after such changes have been posted shall constitute your acceptance of all provisions in the revised Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
“Personally Identifiable Information” is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact you. We may request that you voluntarily provide us with certain Personally Identifiable Information in order to engage in certain activities on our Site. For example, when you sign up for Legacy’s newsletter, create an account with us, or contact Legacy via the Site, we may request Personally Identifiable Information from you, such as your name, email address, birthdate, and phone number.
Additionally, the Site may also place a “cookie,” or small file, in the browser of a user’s computer. This cookie may collect your IP address and/or assign a user a unique number that allows Legacy to save information that you voluntarily provide so that it does not need to be reentered.
DONATIONS
If you choose to donate to Legacy via the Site, we may request additional Personally Identifiable Information from you, such as your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, school, graduation year, and birthday. As part of your donation to Legacy, you may be asked to provide your credit card information. We do not store or retain your credit card information; we use a secure third-party service provider to process your credit card information. For that reason, you may be asked to accept the third party processor’s privacy policy or other terms as a condition of submitting your donation to Legacy online. The third-party processor is not permitted to store, retain, or use billing information except for the purpose of credit card processing on Legacy’s behalf.
Our Site also may offer you the opportunity to donate anonymously. If you elect to do so, your donation information will be shared only with our third party processor; the processor will share only the amount of your donation with Legacy, and none of your other Personally Identifiable Information.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES
Legacy does not permit third parties to collect Personally Identifiable Information from a user through the Site without the user’s consent. However, our Site may provide links to services provided by third parties, including, for example, allowing you to create a personalized fundraising page, or to connect with us through Facebook. Any information collected by a third party service is governed by the third party service’s policies which may substantially differ from ours, and may allow the third party service to share your information with Legacy. Please review the policies of the relevant third party service before submitting your information. To the extent that we receive Personally Identifiable Information about you from third party services, we will treat such information as described in this Privacy Policy.
CHILDREN UNDER THIRTEEN (13) YEARS OF AGE
Legacy does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from anyone under the age of thirteen (13) through the Site. If we become aware that we have collected Personally Identifiable Information through the Site from a child under the age of thirteen without verified parental consent, we will delete that information from our records.
While Legacy is exempt from compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 as a non-for-profit organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, we take children’s privacy seriously, and encourage users and their parents to review our Privacy Policy and Terms to understand our information collection practices.
USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Legacy may use the Personally Identifiable Information that it collects via the Site amongst its employees, agents, affiliates, contractors, and service providers in order to:
- contact you regarding information relevant to Legacy’s business, products, or services;
- engage in ordinary business, fundraising, marketing, and relationship-building communications with you; and/or
- help us operate, analyze, develop, deliver, maintain, and improve our products, services, content, advertising, and communications.
We may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information we collect from you to additional third parties to the extent necessary or appropriate to: (1) comply with the law or respond to a subpoena, court order, government request, or other legal process; (2) protect the interests, rights, safety, or property of Legacy, its employees, agents, and affiliates; (3) enforce this Privacy Policy or our Terms; (4) act in connection with a merger, acquisition, liquidation, reorganization, divestiture, or dissolution of Legacy or its affiliates, or (5) address fraud, security, technical issues, or otherwise operate the Site or its infrastructure systems properly.
RETENTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
We will retain the Personally Identifiable Information that we collect for the duration required to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. We may store Personally Identifiable Information in locations outside the direct control of Legacy (for example, on servers or databases collocated with hosting providers). We may also transfer or assign such information in the course of a merger, acquisition, liquidation, reorganization, divestiture, or dissolution of Legacy or its affiliates.
Legacy also keeps a record of each donor’s giving history on file for IRS purposes, to analyze giving patterns, make more accurate budget projections, and solicit future donations. Legacy does not share its donor file with any other party or organization.
SECURITY OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Legacy uses commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy and integrity of any Personally Identifiable Information collected through our Site. Please note however that transmissions made via the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. Legacy does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that your Personally Identifiable Information will be protected against unauthorized access, loss, theft, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Similarly, Legacy disclaims liability for disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information submitted through the Site due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties. Legacy makes no representations or warranties regarding the sufficiency of our security measures to prevent unauthorized access or interception by third parties.
When a donor gives to Legacy Youth Leadership, the donor’s complete contact information is collected in its most complete form exactly as it is provided by the donor. This information can include the donors’ name, mailing address, email address, phone number, donation amount(s) and history, and check number(s) (if donations are made by check). In many cases, donors do not provide some of these pieces of information and Legacy Youth Leadership only collects and stores the information given by the donor. The overwhelming majority of the donations that Legacy Youth Leadership receives are online donations processed through Classy. Once a donation is received by Classy, Classy then sends the information to our database, Salesforce. This entire process is fully encrypted and secured end-to-end with both platforms. This information is only ever used to inform the preparation and delivery of donation tax receipts for the donor and to send future correspondence to the donor via email, text message, phone calls or mail. Such future correspondence is limited to organization reporting and program updates and fundraising requests. Every email clearly identifies where a donor may request to “Unsubscribe” from said correspondence. At any time a donor may elect to do so. Similarly, every text message clearly shows donors how they may “Opt Out” of all future text message correspondence. A donor may elect to do so at any time. It is Legacy Youth Leadership’s policy to never share any of this information with any outside party. Similarly, it is Legacy Youth Leadership’s policy to never sell any of this information with any outside party. All of this information is housed in only one location, and that is the organization’s Salesforce database. Salesforce uses a security application called Salesforce Shield to protect this information. Salesforce limits exposure of data to the users that act on it. Salesforce works together with Legacy Youth Leadership to protect our data from unauthorized access from outside our organization and from inappropriate usage by our users. Our limited users must provide authentication each time they utilize the database. Our users are only allowed to see the data set that is absolutely necessary for each user’s job. Similarly, Legacy Youth Leadership uses Shield Platform Encryption, giving our data an added layer of security while preserving critical platform functionality. It enables us to encrypt all donor data at rest, and not just when transmitted over a network. We monitor our database’s security daily. At any time, donors may request a report of their profile and all data stored by emailing info@legacyyouthleadership.org
COLLECTION OF NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (TRACKING; ANALYTICS)
Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain usage information from you through the Site, including through the use of Google Analytics. This information may include, for example, the number and frequency of visitors to the Site, which URL you just came from, which URL you go to next, or what browser you are using. We use such data only in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our visitors use parts of the Site, and helps us perform internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve you. This usage data may be shared with third parties, but will not personally identify you.
DO NOT TRACK REQUESTS
Our Site does not respond to Do-Not-Track requests.
