Privacy Policy
Urban Surf 4 Kids® (“US4K”) respects the privacy interests and preferences of our donors and website visitors (https://www.urbansurf4kids.org). We are committed to full transparency in outlining what information we collect about donors and visitors, how it is used and how you can opt-out of those programs (online or by traditional communications). The purpose of this policy is to provide you with information about the information collected through the US4K website so that you can make informed decisions about how you use the website.
Personal contact information we collect and what we do with it
You have the right to know Our website does not collect any personal information unless you voluntarily provide it to us in one of our forms. Any time that you provide information to our website, you provide consent to the collection of information.
When you make a donation or subscribe to our online newsletter, US4K asks you for personal contact information such as your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address. We may use this contact information to provide you with a receipt or financial report; to contact you to clarify or obtain additional information about an order you placed, a donation you made; or to send you additional information about US4K.
If you make a donation, you may be contacted by us on occasion to offer you an opportunity to make another gift, or to inform you of promotions involving third-party sponsors that will directly benefit US4K. You may also receive a personal call from a US4K staff member or volunteer thanking you for your donation. However, as a matter of long-standing policy we do not use third party telemarketers or other outside vendors to solicit funds or otherwise communicate with our donors on our behalf. You will always have the opportunity to opt-out of future communications from us.
Personal billing information we collect and what we do with it
In addition to personal contact information, we ask for billing information, such as your billing address and credit card number, when you make a donation. We use secure servers on a partner platform (Classy.org) to gather and process your billing information. These secure servers are hosted by our agent, Classy.org (Classy), which is bound by our site policies. Your billing information is not shared with any other organizations, and your credit card number is not retained once your transaction has been authorized and processed.
Financial transactions and our secure servers
All financial transactions on our website, specifically donations, are managed on our agent fundraising website, Classy. All transactions use an encrypted channel, take place on secure servers and occur in real time. No financial data, such as your credit card number, is transferred via a less-secure channel, such as encrypted e-mail, for processing. Moreover, once your transaction has been completed, your credit card number is not retained. All information provided to US4K is transmitted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption. TLS 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. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information. Unless there are issues with a particular transaction, US4K does not access the credit card information. If you have any questions about a particular transaction, please feel free to contact us.
Other contact information we collect and what we do with it
In some instances, we ask for contact information from you for other persons, for example, Emergency contact info for one of our camps or outings. The information we collect would be used only for an emergency and you yourself could not contact them. Such contact information is not shared with any other organizations, nor is it added to any mailing list without the recipient’s explicit consent.
How to view or change your information
You have the right to delete, correct, limit, and opt-out of communications. If you wish to modify the frequency of future communications from US4K, or if you wish to have your personal information removed from our systems, please contact us at our headquarters using the contact information below.
Also, with the exception of credit card numbers (for donations), which are not retained, you can view and request changes to all the information you have given us, including any mailing lists you may be on, by contacting us using the contact information at the bottom of this policy.
In addition, if you have subscribed to our email list you can opt out at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link featured at the end of each email
Normal browsing
US4K does not collect any personally identifiable information from you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide such information to us via one of our forms.
You can browse the US4K website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. The information we gather during normal browsing comes from two sources: (1) standard server logs collect information such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system and information like the site that referred you to us, the files you downloaded, the pages you visited and the dates/times of those visits; and (2) if you have come into the website from one of one of our newsletters or from a site that has requested a link, we will ask your browser to accept a “cookie” (defined below) that may carry a general marketing source code with you as you browse through the website, in order to help us match referring sites to donations made. This cookie does not capture or hold any personally identifying information about you and is deleted when you end your session by leaving our website or closing your browser.
Cookies
When you visit our website, we might store some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” (which is a small piece of data that stores information on your browser in your computer’s hard drive) or similar file. We use conversion tracking cookies for campaigns, which analyze trends, gather broad demographic information and monitor website traffic patterns that can help us further develop and improve the design and functionality of our site. Similarly, we may also use cookies for “retargeting” in our Internet advertising campaigns so that third party vendors, including Google, can show you advertising about US4K as you browse the Internet. Retargeting is a marketing tool that identifies you as a previous visitor to the US4K website and targets you for specific outreach messages, encouraging you to revisit our website or consider donating. Any personal information we gather via cookies will be kept private and not shared with other organizations. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to refuse cookies, or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. You can also opt out of receiving cookies on the US4K website for Google advertising by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page (http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/#toc-edit).
Security
We take seriously our obligation to maintain the security and privacy of your personally identifiable information and use reasonable electronic, physical and administrative measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration or misuse. However, be advised that no security measures eliminate all risks. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention to any privacy settings or security systems.
We are dedicated to protecting all information you provide to use through our website in accordance with applicable state, federal and international law. Please remember that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords and other personally identifiable information. Change your passwords immediately if you believe that someone has gained unauthorized access to it/them.
Links to other sites
This website contains links to external sites that may gather personal contact information.US4K is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such websites. However, any personal information obtained by us through other sites is treated as if it was gathered on our site and this privacy policy controls use or collection of that information.
Children
With respect to children, US4K only collects personally identifiable contact information about children via our online forms. We do not share this information in any way or with any third parties. We do not give the ability to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information in any way.
Nondiscrimination
US4K will not deny goods or services, charge you a different price, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services as a result of you exercising your rights under CCPA.
However, if you refuse to provide your personal information or ask us to delete your personal information, and that personal information or sale is necessary for US4K to provide you with goods or services, US4K may not be able to complete that transaction.
