Privacy StatementWe have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment to the privacy of personal information provided by those visiting and interacting with this web site. We hold the privacy of your personal information in the highest regard. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website. We recognizes the importance of protecting your privacy and our policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard any personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site. Personal Information You Choose to Provide Registration Information When you register as a Friend of The McWhirter Foundation, make a donation, send us an email or apply for tickets for any of our events, you will provide us information about yourself. Credit Card Information If you chose to make a donation using PayPal, with or without using a credit or debit card, your account information is not passed to The McWhirter Foundation. We ask that you read PayPal’s privacy statement for all matters relating to any transaction undertaken through PayPal. Following a donation we will be informed by PayPal of the donor, the amount and your address. This information will be treated in the strictest confidence and we will only use your personal information to acknowledge receipt of your donation. Under no circumstances will your details ever be passed to a third party. Email Information If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone. How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us? Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering our Foundation activities, our marketing and promotional efforts and to improve our site's content, layout, services and for other lawful purposes. These uses improve our site and better tailor it to meet your needs. Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis. Personally identifiable information or business information will not be shared with parties except as required by law. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Website, or notify you about future events. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by contacting us at the address provided on the site. Sharing and Selling Information We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have requested. How Can You Access and Correct Your Information? You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing us at the usual address. What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information? We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the Public. What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site? We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site or the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Website to another web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other web site, including web sites which have a link on our Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding. Your Consent By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or without notice. Our Commitment To Data Security Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our computers in the United States. The laws on holding personal data in the United States may be less stringent than the laws of your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Acquisition or Changes in Ownership In the event that the web site (or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are transferred. Policy Modifications We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are made to this privacy policy, we will email users who have given us permission to do so. We will post any changes here, so be sure to check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use the personal information you have submitted to us under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior consent.
