We may share information collected through the Website only in the following limited circumstances:

• With service providers that help us operate the Website — for example, analytics providers and payment-processing platforms used in connection with the Website (see the Third-Party Tools and Services section below). These providers receive only the information necessary to perform their services and are not authorized to use it for their own independent purposes.
• As required by law — if we are required to disclose information to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or governmental request.
• To protect rights and safety — if disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Advancing Lives in Pasadena, our members, our visitors, or others.

Third-Party Tools and Services

We use the following third-party tools and services in connection with the Website. Each of these third parties has its own privacy policy governing how it handles information, and we encourage you to review their policies.

Google Analytics — We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors use the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on its servers. Google uses this information to compile reports on Website activity that we use to improve the Website. Google may also use this data in accordance with its own terms of service and privacy policy. Google Analytics uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to collect this information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), available at no charge from Google. For more information about how Google uses data collected through this service, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy. From time to time, we may hire other analytic services. Their access will be limited and will be used for and in the same manner as Google Analytics described above.

Contact Form — The Website includes a contact form that allows visitors to send us messages directly. When you submit the contact form, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, email address, address, phone number, and the content of your message. We use this information to respond to your inquiry. Information submitted through the contact form is not automatically shared with any third party, except as described in this Privacy Policy.

PayPal (Donation Processing) — If you choose to donate through the Website, you will be directed to PayPal’s website via a button or link on the Website. When you click the donation button or link, you leave our Website and are taken directly to PayPal’s platform. All payment and financial information — including credit or debit card details and billing information — is entered on and processed entirely by PayPal. We do not collect, receive, or store your payment card details through the Website. PayPal’s handling of your information is governed by PayPal’s own Privacy Statement, available at https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/privacy-full. We encourage you to review PayPal’s privacy practices before submitting any payment information.

Website Privacy

Cookies — The Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies primarily through Google Analytics (described in the Third-Party Tools and Services section above) to collect information about how visitors use the Website. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings, including the ability to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a new cookie is set. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Website. For information on managing cookies in your browser, consult your browser’s help documentation.

Links to Third-Party Websites — The Website may contain links to external websites that are not operated by Advancing Lives in Pasadena. If you click a link to a third-party website, you will leave our Website and be subject to that site’s own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website you visit.

Data Security — We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect the personal information collected through the Website from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through the Website. You share personal information through the Website at your own risk.

Do Not Track Signals — Some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track your online activity. At this time, the Website does not respond to or alter its data collection practices in response to Do Not Track signals from browsers. This is because there is currently no universally accepted standard for interpreting or honoring DNT signals. You may use the tools described in the Third-Party Tools and Services section above — such as the Google Analytics opt-out add-on — to limit data collection through specific services used on the Website.

Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed at or intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 through the Website, we will promptly delete that information. If you believe that a child under 13 may have submitted personal information through the Website, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below.

Depending on your state of residence, you may have certain rights regarding the personal information we have collected about you through the Website. For example, residents of California and a growing number of other U.S. states may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we have collected about you through the Website
• Correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you
• Request deletion of personal information we have collected about you through the Website
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information

We do not sell personal information collected through the Website, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.

When we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and post the revised policy on the Website. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect information collected through the Website.
