Internet Privacy and Data Statement

The Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits (the “Center” or “us”) is committed to respecting your privacy. We’ve structured our website so that, in general, you can visit the Center on the web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. Once you choose to provide us personally identifiable information (meaning any information by which you can be identified), you can be assured that it will only be used to support your relationship with the Center.

This statement regarding the privacy of the personally identifiable information you provide online covers five main areas: Awareness, Choice, Accuracy & Access, Security, and Oversight.

Awareness

The Center provides this Internet Privacy and Data Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy and practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

1. What We Collect
   On some Center web pages, you may be able to order products or services, make requests, and register to receive materials or additional web services. The types of personal information collected on these pages are name, contact and billing information, transaction, and credit card information, and any other information that may be needed to improve our quality of service to you. The Center may also collect some demographic information which is not unique to you, such as your age, gender, preferences, interests, etc.
   
   
2. How We Use It
   

   The Center uses your information to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate back to you, to update you on services and benefits, and to personalize our web sites for you. Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing and are not retained for other purposes.

   From time to time, we may provide you with information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving direct marketing information.
   
   

3. Who We Share It With
   The Center will not sell, rent, or lease your information to others. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will not share your information with other parties or make your information available for paid or volunteer lists. Only key staff members, leadership, and board members will have access to personal information. This information is typically stored within a database utilized by the Center that is password-protected and relies on its own online privacy policies, including legal requirements for compliance with local, state and federal laws.
   
   
4. Service Providers
   We may employ third party companies and individuals to change or make improvements to the Center’s web site. These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
   
   
5. Google Analytics
   

   Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

   You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.

   For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page.

   Google Analytics, or other third party services, may track information provided to us by your browser, such as the website you came from, the type of browser you use, the device from which you connected to the Center website, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you.  This information may be tracked using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier.  Cookies may be sent to your browser from our server and are stored on your computer hard drive.  Cookies may be either persistent or session-based; persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your session and until you delete them, while session cookies expire when you close your browser.

Choice

The Center will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without first letting you know and offering you a choice. As previously stated, we will also provide you the opportunity to let us know if you do not wish to receive unsolicited direct marketing materials from us and we will do everything we can to honor such requests. Local country laws and policies are applied where they differ from those in the U.S. For general requests, please contact us at info@okcnp.org.

Accuracy & Access

The Center strives to keep your personally identifiable information accurate. If you are a member of the Center’s network, we will provide you with access to your information, including making every effort to provide you with online access to your data so that you may view, update or correct your information on the the Center’s site. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections. Certain areas of The Center’s website may limit access to specific individuals, who do so through providing personally identifiable information.

Links to third party web sites on the site are provided solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave this site. The Center has not reviewed all of these third party sites and does not control and is not responsible for any of these sites, their content or their Privacy Policy. Thus, The Center does not endorse or make any representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to this site, you do this entirely at your own risk.

The Center is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. We use encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.
