This policy outlines the types of information we collect from you, how we gather it, the ways in which we use it, any circumstances under which we might disclose it, and your rights regarding the information you provide to us. Protecting your privacy is a top priority for us, and we are committed to ensuring that all the information you share with us is handled with care and respect.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
When you visit the Community Planning website, we may collect certain non-personal information to help us manage and improve our services. For instance, our system may log your IP address, which is a unique identifier assigned to your device when you access the internet. Logging IP addresses is a common practice used for system administration and security purposes. By analyzing these logs, we can enhance the value of the content we provide and improve the navigational features of our website, making your experience more user-friendly.
It’s important to note that while we may log your IP address and browser type, this information is not linked to anything personally identifiable. In other words, we may track your session on our site, but your identity will remain anonymous. This means you can browse the Community Planning website without revealing any personal information, allowing you to remain completely anonymous during your visit.
In addition to logging IP addresses, we may use small files known as “cookies” to store and track information about your browsing behavior on our website. Cookies are widely used across the internet to enhance user experience by remembering preferences and enabling the smooth functioning of websites. However, the cookies we use do not collect any personal information. Instead, they gather statistical data that helps us analyze how our website is used, allowing us to make improvements where necessary. If you prefer not to use cookies, most web browsers offer the option to review, accept, or reject cookies, giving you control over your browsing experience.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
At Community Planning, we collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it through our online forms. Personal information is any data that can be used to identify you. This may include your name, gender, postal address, social security number, phone number, email address, credit card information, date of birth, employment details, citizenship, age, educational history, and more. For donors, personal information may also include details such as donation amounts and references.
The personal information you provide is used for various purposes, all aimed at improving your experience and ensuring the smooth operation of our services. For instance, we use your information to maintain contact with you, process admissions, complete transactions, authenticate your identity, prevent duplicate entries in our system, register you for events, and fulfill product or service orders. In some cases, specific forms may outline additional uses for the information you provide.
We treat all the personal information you submit to our website as confidential. This means we do not share your information with third parties unless it is necessary to fulfill a service you requested or required by law. For example, authorized employees or agents who are involved in providing the services you have requested may have access to your information, but only to the extent necessary to perform their duties.
Your Privacy Rights
We recognize that your privacy rights are important, and we are committed to safeguarding them. You have the right to know what personal information we collect, how we use it, and to whom it may be disclosed.
