The Raphael House respects the privacy of visitors to our website. We understand you value your privacy and we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe. This statement governs
information you provide to us or we learn from your use of this website and tells you how we may collect, use, and in some instances share this information.
1. Information Collection
Through our website, we offer convenient online access to our services and communicate with you about important opportunities and events. We will not collect personal information from you when you visit our website unless you provide the information to us voluntarily.
Sending an email or signing up for an email list: You may decide to send us personal information, for example, in an electronic mail message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a web form that provides us this information. We use personal information from email primarily to respond to your requests. We may also retain any messages you send through the website. We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the website. We may also use your email to contact you in the future about our programs that may be of interest. If you sign up for one of our email lists, we will only send you the kinds of information you have requested.
Registering for an event: When you register online for an event, we may ask for your name and contact information. Depending upon the activity, we may also collect payment information (such as standard credit card data) and date of birth.
Making an online or offline financial contribution: When you make a financial contribution, we collect your name, contact information and, if you donate online, standard credit card data.
Online Profile Form: If you complete the Profile form we make available and share your personal information, this information will be used only to provide you with more targeted content. We may use your contact information to send further information about our organization or to contact you when necessary. You may always opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the “Opt Out” section below.
Applying to be a volunteer: When you apply online to be a volunteer, we will ask you for your name, contact information and date of birth. We may ask for other data as well, depending on the volunteer activity.
Analytics information: We may directly collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the website. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit and other information that assists us in improving the web site. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.
Cookies information: When you visit the web site, we may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and enhances your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the web site (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on the website), and allow us or our business partners to track your usage of the web site over time. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the web site may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
2. How We Use and Share Your Information
Raphael House will not sell or share personal information collected online or offline about our financial donors with anyone else, nor will we send mailings to our financial donors on behalf of other organizations, unless a donor has given us specific permission to do so. If you provide us with personal information when you visit our website, we may use the information in our programs and activities. We may enter your name into one of our databases so we can contact you to obtain your input, provide information about our programs and events, or request contributions. On occasion, the Raphael House may share information about you with vendors and service providers that assist us with our activities and programs. These vendors and service providers help us with functions such as fulfilling orders, managing data and processing donations. In addition, we make disclosures as required by law. We do aggregate information about how our website is used (without specific identification to any particular user) to be able to improve our website and make it more responsive to our users’ preferences.
