DIME FOUNDATION PRIVACY POLICY (Last Updated: March 2007) DIME Foundation ("DIME") has created this privacy policy (the "Policy") so you will understand when and how information is collected, used, disclosed and protected with respect to our Web site www.dimefoundation.org (the "Site"). By accessing our Site, subscribing to our newsletters, or otherwise submitting information to us, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Policy, as modified from time to time by us. INFORMATION ABOUT YOU We collect two basic types of information from our Site; namely, personal information and aggregate information. Personal information is information that is directly associated with a specific person, such as your name, address, telephone number, billing information, or e-mail address, or information about activities that are directly linked to a specific person. Aggregate information is data collected about a group or category of users from which individual identities have been removed. Aggregate information may include anonymous demographic information such as country of origin, citizenship, ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, submission and survey information. We reserve the rights to use aggregate information as we choose and to disclose aggregate information to any third parties without your consent and without further notice to you. Here are the types of personal information we collect. You should refer to the rest of this Policy to see how we use, disclose and protect this information: Information You Give Us: We collect information you give us when you make donations to DIME. Donation Information. When you make a donation on our Site, we may collect various kinds of information about you, including your name, e-mail address, credit card information, your employer, home and business addresses, and home and business phone numbers. Automatically Collected Information: We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, when you visit the Site, our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser you use. Information may be automatically collected through the use of "cookies" which are discussed in more detail below. We also collect various types of "clickstream" information which is information about your browsing behavior, such as IP address information, entry and exit points for the Site, and page views and impressions. USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION Internal Use of Personal Information We use personal information for donation purposes, to complete transactions you have requested, to anticipate and resolve problems with our Site, and to respond to user support inquiries. From time to time we may use your personal information to send you notices about us or others when we believe these may be of interest to you. We may also use information about you for our own internal statistical, design or operational purposes. Disclosure of Personal Information We disclose personal information when we have your consent to do so, as necessary to complete a transaction you have requested, when required by law, or when permitted to protect our rights or property. The following section describes these disclosure circumstances more fully. Your Consent. We may disclose your personal information with your consent in particular situations, which we may obtain in writing, verbally, through online means or as part of a separate agreement. Transaction Processing. We may disclose personal information to third parties as necessary to complete a transaction you have requested (such as donations) or to perform a service on our behalf. When a third party acts solely on our behalf, we will require it to follow our privacy practices. We will not disclose your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your consent. We will not disclose your personal information to any partisan group, political party, or party committee, even if it is non-profit, without your consent. Protection of DIME and Others: We may release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant or court order); to enforce or apply our policies; to protect our rights or property, or to protect our user from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of our Site; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of records without delay. Information About Children We do not knowingly, directly or passively, collect information from children under the age of 13. If we create features on the Site that make it appropriate to collect information from children under the age of 13, we will notify you of the change in this Policy.
