PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: 9/1/2023

Introduction

The Boys & Girls Club of Garfield (“BGCG”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to our primary website and parent portal and governs data collection and usage on these sites; it does not apply to other online or offline sites, products, or services. Personal information of all users is collected, used, and disclosed as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

BGCG collects personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address, or telephone number, and other data. BGCG specifically does not collect any information about your computer hardware or software. BGCG encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from BGCG, so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information.

2. USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Information collected by BGCG is used for the purpose of donations, the management of membership, and communications specific to job applications and volunteering opportunities. It is possible that BGCG may also use personal information to inform you of other products or services available from BGCG and its partners and sponsors. BGCG may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or potential new services that may be offered. BGCG does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. BGCG may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

BGCG may access and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on BGCG or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of BGCG, including its website; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of BGCG or the public.

3. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

BGCG implements a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place a donation, communicate with us, or apply for membership or a position. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private financial information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.
