Privacy Policy

Future Foundation Website Privacy Policy

This Website Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Future Foundation, Inc. (“Future Foundation”, “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and transfers information about you. We may update this Policy from time to time, so please check this Policy periodically for changes.

Scope

This Policy covers information that we collect through our website located at www.future-foundation.com (the “Site”) including personal information and information that we combine with personal information. It does not cover any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, data that we collect offline or receive from third-party sources such as donation processing organizations.

We define “personal information” as information that is unique to you, such as your name and contact information. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

How We Collect Information

We collect the following types of information through the site:

Actively Submitted Data

We collect the “actively submitted data” that you enter into forms on the Site, such as when you submit feedback. These actively submitted data may include personal information. If you encounter a form that requests information you do not want to share with us, do not submit the form. We also receive actively submitted data about you and your donation when you use one of our third-party donation processing services or if you communicate with us through a social media platform.

Passively Collected Data. We or our hosting providers may also automatically log certain “passively collected data” when you use the site including:

  • the files and directories you access on the Site;
  • if you follow a link to the Site, the URL of the page containing that link;
  • the IP address of your computer or mobile device;
  • the internet hostname associated with your IP address;
  • your internet service provider and your approximate geographical location (both of which can sometimes be determined from your IP address); and
  • the types and versions of your web browser and computer or mobile device operating system.

The Site may also place “cookies” on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are small files that let the Site identify your computer or mobile device on subsequent visits. The Site may use cookies to store data about you between visits such as your preferences or login information. You can configure your browser to reject cookies from the Site. Please note that certain features of the Site may not be available if your browser does not accept cookies from the Site.

Donations

If you make a donation using one of our third-party donation providers, we receive information about you (including personal information) in connection with the donation. We treat this information as actively submitted data. Please note that gagivesday.org is a third-party site and that your use of the service is subject to the service’s own privacy policy and terms and conditions.

Aggregated Data

We may combine your actively submitted or passively collected data with data from other Site users to produce “aggregated data.” Aggregated data do not identify individual Site users.

How We Use the Information We Collect

Actively Submitted Data

We use actively submitted data (including any personal information you submit) for the purposes we describe when we collect the data. For example, if you make a donation, we will use the information you provide to process your donation. We also use actively submitted data to communicate with you about the Site and about our organization and may add you (on an opt-out basis) to our mailing lists. We may also combine your actively submitted data with actively submitted data from other Site users to produce aggregated data (as described below).

Passively Collected Data. We use passively collected data to monitor and improve the functioning of the Site and to customize the Site for you. For example, we may use your IP address to diagnose a network connection issue.

Aggregated Data

We use aggregated data to monitor and improve the functioning of the Site. We also use aggregated data to understand the impact of our programs and services and track our support in the community. For example, we may calculate the number of hits or unique visitors to the Site or analyze trends in aggregated donation data.

How We Disclose Your Information

We do not disclose your personal information to third parties except:

  • in order to process your donations or deliver mailings to you;
  • where you have expressly authorized us to do so;
  • in order to determine your eligibility to receive our services;
  • in order to provide a service you requested;
  • where necessary to allow a trusted service provider or agent to provide services for us;
  • in connection with a merger of Future Foundation into another non-profit organization; or
  • otherwise as required or permitted by law or order.

We may disclose aggregated data to third parties for the following purposes:

  • operating, repairing, or upgrading the Site;
  • complying with laws related to charitable giving;
  • presenting demographic information about Site users to funders and potential donors; or
  • otherwise as required or permitted by law or order.

Accessing Your Information

If personal information you have submitted through the Site is no longer accurate, current, or complete, and you wish to update it, please contact us as described under “Contact Us” below. Upon appropriate request we will usually be glad to update or amend your information, but we reserve the right to use information obtained previously to verify your identity or take other actions that we believe are appropriate and lawful.

Security

We restrict access to personal information collected about you at our Site to our employees or others who need to know that information to provide services to you or in the course of conducting our normal operations.
