Like many websites and apps, we use “cookies”, which are small text files that are stored on your computer or equipment when you visit certain online pages that record your preferences and actions, including how you use the website. We use this information for analytics purposes which allows us to improve your browsing experience. The information we collect through these technologies will also be used to manage your session. Out of these cookies, the cookies that are categorized as “necessary” are stored on your browser as they are essential for the working of basic functionalities of the website. These necessary cookies cannot be disabled.
Cookie Opt-out
You can set your browser or device to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you delete your cookies, if you opt-out from cookies, or if you set your browser or device to decline these technologies, some Services may not function properly. Our Services do not currently change the way they operate upon detection of a Do Not Track or similar signal.
Online Analytics
We also use various types of online analytics including Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use the website, compile reports on the related activities, and provide other services related to website and app activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring website or app. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies.

Social Media Integration
Our Services may, from time to time, contain links to and from social media platforms. You may choose to connect to us through a social media platform, such as Facebook (Meta), Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, or X, and when you do, we may collect additional information from you, including the information listed in the Types of Information We Collect section above. Please be advised that social media platforms may also collect information from you. When you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button or Twitter’s “Tweet” button, that particular social network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. We encourage you to review the social media platforms’ usage and disclosure policies and practices, including the data security practices, before using them.
Surveys and Forms
From time to time, and subject to your consent where required by applicable local law, we may provide you with the opportunity to participate in surveys or forms, some of which might be sponsored or conducted by a third party. Participation in these surveys or forms is completely voluntary. If you choose to participate, we will request certain personal information from you. If there is a third party sponsor involved in the survey, we may provide certain personal information to the third party sponsor. Please make sure to review the sponsor’s privacy policy and be aware that any surveys offered by us may be governed by specific rules and terms and conditions that are separate from and in addition to this Privacy Notice. By participating in any such surveys you will become subject to those rules, including but not limited to receiving emails containing survey communications.

Information Security & Retention
We have taken physical, electronic, and administrative measures to safeguard the information that we collect. We take commercially reasonable steps to protect against unauthorized access to, and improper use of, information that we collect through the Services. We cannot guarantee, however, the security of our databases or the databases of the service providers with which we may share such information, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet.
We retain your information as long as we need it for business, tax, or legal purposes. After that, we will securely destroy your information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
How We Share Information
We may share information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to this information to carry out work for us. These service providers provide us with the following services: website hosting and management, application hosting and management, and analytics services. Their use of personal information will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We may also share information as part of a business transaction. For instance, if we become involved in a merger, corporate transaction, or another situation involving the transfer of some or all of our business assets, we may share your information with business entities or people involved in the negotiation or transfer.
We may also disclose your information if we believe that disclosure is required by law, if we believe that disclosure is necessary to enforce our agreements or policies, or if we believe that disclosure will help us protect the rights, property, or safety of the Services or our users or partners.
We may share information about you with others if you give us permission or direct us to share the information.
If you post or share information on the Services, the information that you post or share may be seen by others using the Services.

The Services may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of these websites. As such, we are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of those third-party websites. You should check the applicable third-party Privacy Policy and terms of use when visiting any other websites.
Do Not Track
Some web browsers incorporate a Do Not Track (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites with which the browser communicates that a visitor does not want to have their online activity tracked. If a digital service that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that digital service from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user. As of the Effective Date, not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, we do not currently respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit allaboutdnt.com.
Information From Children
Our Services are not intended for, and are not directed to or designed to attract, children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect the information of children under the age of 18. Those who are less than 18 years old should not submit any information to us. Contact us if you believe that we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected information from a child under the age of 18.

The Services and its servers are operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, processed, maintained, and used on computers, servers, and systems located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. The United States has not received a finding of “adequacy” under Article 45 of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Legal Bases for Processing
If you are an individual in the EEA, we collect and process information about you only where we have a legal basis for doing so under applicable EEA law. The applicable legal basis depends on the Services and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:
- It is necessary to perform a contract with you;
- It satisfies a legitimate interest – which is not overridden by your data protection interest – such as our ability to operate, provide, improve, monitor, protect the safety and security of, provide support for, personalize features for, and promote the Services, to protect our legal rights and interests, and to prevent fraud;
- You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose; or
- It is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Right to Rectification. You have the right to request that we correct your personal information when it is inaccurate or out of date.
Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten). You have the right, under certain circumstances, to have your personal information erased. Your personal information can only be erased if it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, and we have no other legal ground for processing it.

Right to Object to Processing. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information at any time, on legitimate grounds, except if otherwise permitted by applicable law, or to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If you raise an objection, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests that override your rights and freedoms.
Right to Decline Automated Decision Making. You have the right to not be subject to automated decision-making producing legal or significant effects on an individual, which we do not engage in.
Please note that if processing of your personal information is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us at admin@imagodeifund.org.
