The Paul Anderson Youth Home, Inc. (PAYH) values and respects your right to privacy. Your privacy is important to us and so we are committed to protecting your privacy online and offline, and to that end have implemented and enforce the following policy.
Donor Information
We recognize that providing us with personal information is an act of trust. As stewards of what you have provided, we take and treat all financial information about any transaction you have with the PAYH as highly confidential. Any information that is collected (your name, addresses, phone numbers, etc.) is done for internal use only. The PAYH does not sell, share, or exchange any of our donor’s name, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, or any other personal information with other organizations.
- About the information we collect on the web and how we use that information:
- It is our policy to collect and store only the personally identifying information that visitors to our website knowingly provide. We do not collect any personal information from casual visitors browsing our website. When you use the public areas of our website you are doing so anonymously.
- Our registration forms require users to give us contact information that may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. Text), address, interests, and similar information. We do not request or store sensitive information from our visitors, such as credit card or social security numbers.</
Internet Protocol Address:
We collect an IP address from all visitors to our Site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our Site, analyze trends, track users’ movement, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the site, and deliver customized, personalized content. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Use of “Cookies”:
Our Site may use cookies to enhance your experience while using our Site. Cookies are pieces of information that some websites transfer to the computer that is browsing that website and are used for record-keeping purposes at many websites. Use of cookies makes web-surfing easier by performing certain functions such as saving your passwords, your personal preferences regarding your use of the particular website and to make sure you don’t see the same ad repeatedly. Many consider the use of cookies to be an industry standard. Your browser is probably set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our Site will not function properly when you view them.
Security:
All information provided to the Paul Anderson Youth Home is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our Site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of the Paul Anderson Youth Home. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information to the fullest extent, we cannot ensure or completely guarantee the security of such information.
Other Websites:
Our Site contains links to other websites. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are entering another website for which the Paul Anderson Youth Home has no responsibility. We encourage you to read the privacy statements on all such sites as their policies may be different than ours.
If you supply us with your postal address or email address on-line you may receive periodic mailings or emails from us with information. If you do not wish to receive such mailings or emails, please let us know by “Opting Out.” In all of our electronic mailings, an “Opt Out” component is provided. Individuals who select the “Opt Out” option are identified in our files and no longer receive electronic communication.
Those donors who have given in the past and receive direct mail (non-electronic) from us and request to no longer receive mail, are identified in our files, preventing them from receiving future mailings.
