We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with the information we collect through this Site. We use this information to operate this Site and BGI, including usage to comply with IRS nonprofit organization reporting guidelines; to send news and information to you about BGI; to solicit your contributions and input to and/or participation in programs, events and activities; and to obtain and confirm RSVP’s to events, meeting, workshops and programs. We use your e-mail address to send such information by e-mail and may use your telephone number to call you for these purposes.

Credit Card Information; Protection of Personal Information

When you donate online to BoldlyGo Institute, we collect credit card information from you. That information is used solely by our contribution processing service, DonationPay.org, for processing your donation; is not maintained by BGI; and is never disclosed to anyone, for any other purpose other than for processing your contribution, under any circumstances. After making a donation through DonationPay, your name, donation amount and contact information are forwarded to BGI so that we may (1) issue you a donation receipt in addition to the acknowledgment you receive from DonationPay, and (2) maintain a database of donors, whom we shall occasionally contact regarding BGI programs.

DonationPay.org uses industry standard security measures to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under their control. Their privacy policy and terms of use may be found here: https://www.donationpay.org/site/privacy-policy.

Permission to access your credit card information is granted only to you and to DonationPay.org employees or contractors who need to know that information to provide services to you. Although we make good faith efforts to store information collected by this Site in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee complete security.

For example, visitors under 13 years of age should not make donations or take any actions on or through this Site.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Some parts of this Site may be password-protected. We may use a cookie (cookies reside on your computer and are under the control of your browser) to enable you to return to password-protected areas of the Site without having to re-enter your password. If you wish to disable these cookies, the help portion of the tool bar on most browsers will tell you how do that. If you set your browser to disable cookies, however, you may not be able to access certain parts of this Site.

Advertising

We may place online advertising with third-party vendors, including Google, which will be shown on other sites on the internet. In some cases, those third-party vendors may decide which ads to show you based on your prior visits to the site. At no time will you be personally identified to those third-party vendors, nor will any of the information you share with us be shared with those third-party vendors. If you prefer to opt out of the use of these third-party cookies on the site, you can do so by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt out page.

Data Tracking

In order to better serve our supporters, we use cookies and periodically analyze web logs. We may also use third-party services such as Google Analytics. This helps us understand traffic patterns and know if there are problems with the Site. We may also use embedded images in emails to track open rates for our mailings, so that we can tell which mailings appeal most to BGI supporters.

URLs contained in emails may contain an ID that enables us to correctly identify the person who takes an action using a web page. We may occasionally present a shortened URL that references a longer URL which contains an id—we do this to simplify the display, to prevent links from becoming broken when copied, and to ensure compatibility with email programs which do not handle long URLs. When a shortened URL is displayed in an email, you will see the full URL in the browser's address bar when you access the page.

It does not cover sites to which are linked by this site or sites for which we are not responsible ("linked-sites"). These linked-sites will have their own policies and practices which may be different from ours. We therefore encourage you to familiarize yourself with the policies and practices of the linked-sites, especially if you provide personal information to them.
