The information we may collect.
While using our web site, you do not have to identify yourself or divulge personal information. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you on this site without your knowledge, and all such information is collected directly from you. The Save Darfur Coalition may periodically ask you to provide personally identifying information such as your name, postal address, email address, credit/debit card information and other information about you. You are under no obligation to provide us with this information, but without it, we may not be able to provide you with timely information regarding important Darfur related issues and events.
How do we protect your information?
Our web site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information in our database. However, while we make good faith efforts to store information collected in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee complete security.
When you contribute online, the Save Darfur Coalition uses security protocols to protect sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information and credit card numbers. The privacy of this data is ensured with a keyed symmetric encryption algorithm. While this data is being transferred, it is protected by the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) using a 128-bit signed certificate.
How do we use the information you provide?
The Save Darfur Coalition uses the information we collect from you in an effort to engage you as an online activist, including by sending you news and information about the Save Darfur Coalition, accepting contributions, and for other purposes. We may provide this information to our contractors and successors, but we will not sell, rent, trade, lend or otherwise share your personal information with other organizations for commercial purposes unless you agree otherwise. Finally, we may disclose personally identifiable information when required by law or when we have a good faith belief that release is appropriate to protect our rights or property, or to protect our donors and supporters from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct.
When you sign one of our petitions or surveys:
We treat your name, city, state, and any comments as public information. We may make comments along with your city and state available to the press and public online. We will not make your postal or email address publicly available, but we may share this information with the recipients of these petitions and thereafter the recipient may make these petitions public. If you are not already a member of the Save Darfur Coalition, we will use your email address to send you periodic updates and actions you can take to help the people of Darfur.
When you contribute money online, sign up for our mailing list or join a Communities United to Save Darfur group:
We collect your name, postal address, email address and certain other information, such as your phone number when you contribute money online. If you are not already a member, we will use your email address to send you periodic updates and actions you can take to help the people of Darfur.
When you join a Communities United to Save Darfur group, group leaders will only have access to your name, unless you provide them with additional information.
Data tracking:
Some information other than personally identifiable information may automatically be collected as you browse our site. In order to consistently improve our online activities, we use cookies, track email open rates and periodically analyze our web traffic. This information helps us improve the quality of the site and enhance our online promotion efforts.
A cookie is a tiny text file that is stored on your computer by SaveDarfur.org. We use cookies to tailor your experience on our site according to the preferences you have specified. When you visit SaveDarfur.org we only access the cookie file that we have stored on your computer.
We use embedded images in emails to track open rates for our mailings, so we can evaluate which mailings resonate best with our members. We also evaluate our web site traffic to determine how visitors found our web site and what areas of the web site they use most often.
Information on children's privacy.
We believe every precaution must be taken to protect children online. The Save Darfur Coalition does not knowingly ask children 13 and under for any information. Visitors who are 13 or under should ask a parent or legal guardian for assistance when using SaveDarfur.org and should not submit any personally identifiable information.
Links to other web sites.
The Save Darfur Coalition provides links to third party web sites, and other web sites may link to our web site. The Save Darfur Coalition does not endorse, nor is it responsible for the content of any third-party web sites we may list on SaveDarfur.org.
