GIVEBUTTER PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: 09/06/2024

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share information we collect on our online interfaces and properties (e.g., websites and mobile applications) owned and controlled by Givebutter, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” ), including the www.givebutter.com website (collectively, the “Site”).   The Site provides (a) an online platform for appropriately qualified charities and other entities (“Fundraiser”) to raise funds from Site visitors (“Donors”) through the sale of goods or services or to solicit donations to support their organization and/or mission and (b) related services (collectively the “Services”).  Givebutter, Inc. only provides technology to allow Fundraisers and Donors or other users to connect and does not participate in the fundraising activities or the interactions between Fundraisers and Donors using the Services.

By accessing the Site or using the Services you consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, you should discontinue using the Site immediately.

I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect both “Non-Personal Information” about usage of the Site and “Personally Identifiable Information” about Site visitors.  Non-Personal Information includes automatically collected information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information we may collect, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, preferences you submit and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit and number of clicks.  Personally Identifiable Information includes information that Site visitors submit to us that identifies or relates to a specific individual.  

We collect Personally Identifiable Information that you submit, including registration information submitted by Fundraisers (such as name, email and postal address, telephone number, organization name, billing information, campaign information), information submitted by Donors when interacting with Fundraisers (name, email and postal addresses, and other information requested by Fundraisers), and contact information if you contact us with an inquiry (email address, telephone number).  

We do not collect payment information from Donors; Donors wishing to make a purchase from or donate funds to Fundraisers are connected to Stripe or another of our third-party payment processors, who collects and processes payment information.

We use cookies and similar technology to collect aggregate, Non-Personal Information about Site usage by all of our visitors and to help us remember you and your preferences when you revisit the Site. We track information provided to us by your browser or by our software application when you view or use the Service, such as the website you came from (known as the “referring URL”), the type of browser you use, the device from which you connected to the Service, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you. We track this information using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to a user’s browser from our servers and are stored on the user’s computer hard drive. Sending a cookie to a user’s browser enables us to collect Non-Personal Information about that visitor and keep a record of the visitor’s preferences when utilizing our services, both on an individual and aggregate basis. We may use both persistent and session cookies; 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. For example, we may use a persistent cookie to track whether you have visited Givebutter before, so we can show you basic information about our Service on your first visit.  Further general information about cookies and how they work is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. 

We allow selected third parties to place cookies, pixels, or similar technologies through the Site to provide us with better insights into the use of the Site or user demographics or to provide relevant advertising to you.  These third parties may collect information about a consumer’s online activities over time and across different websites when he or she uses our website. 

For example, when you visit or log in to our Site, our online data partners or vendors may set or use cookies, pixels and similar technologies that they use to connect personal information about you collected from our Site with personal information about you that they or others have about you based on your online activities on websites unrelated to ours. This may include matching or linking your personal information with your email or home address. These data partners or vendors provide this combined information to us.  We do not disclose this information to others.  We (or service providers on our behalf) may then use this information to send communications and marketing to your email or home addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout.

We may also permit third-party service providers to place cookies through our Site to perform analytic or marketing functions.   For instance, we use Google Analytics to collect information about use of our Site. This information is used for the sole purpose of improving our Site. Google Analytics does not collect any Personally Identifying Information, nor do we combine the information collected with Personally Identifiable information. We do not control the use of such third-party cookies or the resulting information and we are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

Except as provided in this Privacy Policy we do not use technology that recognizes a “do-not-track” signal from your web browser.
