Crisis Nursery

Crisis Nursery appreciates the interest that you have taken in our organization. As a user of our Site, we want to provide you with an understanding of how we use information and maintain the privacy of our users. We respect the importance that users of our Site place on the security of their personal information. As such, we have established this policy to educate users about how we acquire and utilize user information. This privacy policy also serves as notice that by visiting this Site, you as the user, consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to www.crisisnursery.org (and each sub-domain associated with this URL) which we refer to as the Site. While the Site may contain links to other sites that are operated by third parties, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the other sites, whether or not those sites are somehow affiliated with Crisis Nursery. For information related to the Privacy Policy of any other sites, please find and read the privacy policies on the pages associated with those other sites. This Privacy Policy also does not apply to practices, persons, or entities that Crisis Nursery does not exercise control over, employ, or manage.

Crisis Nursery generally collects two types of information: Personal Information and Aggregate Infomation. Personal Information includes any information voluntarily provided to the Site by the user, which may include: name, email address, mailing address, phone, occupation, credit card, debit card, personal preferences, and/or other account-related information. Personal Information does not include Public Personal Information. Public Personal Information is information which the user discloses publicly through message boards, home pages, linked pages, forums, discussions, sponsorships, public activity, social networks, blogs, or the like. Because of the public nature of certain activity, which is voluntarily entered into by the user, Crisis Nursery cannot exercise the same control and provide confidentiality for Public Personal Information. Furthermore, engagement in public activity is voluntary and as such, the user's implicit consent is understood.

Aggregate Information includes non-personally identifiable information about a user, such as most frequently accessed webpages, date/time of webpage viewing, time spent on particular webpages, number of visits to particular webpages, type of browser, type of computer, cookie preferences, type of web service, IP address and/or search terms entered.

Crisis Nursery automatically collects Aggregate Information as a user accesses the Site. We obtain this information in a collective manner, meaning no single person can be identified through the collection, storage, or use of Aggregate Information. We may use the Aggregate Information internally for demographic tracking, internal market research, research, education, dissemination, creation of personalized content, trouble shooting, server diagnostics, Site administration, trend analysis, movement analysis (within the Site), and/or general information purposes. We may also share Aggregate Information with research grant recipients, content providers, sponsors, service providers, and/or other third parties. The Site may employ various tools such as cookies, web beacons, or packaged commercial products (e.g. Google Analytics) in order to collect the Aggregate Information.

Crisis Nursery collects Personal Information provided voluntarily by the user for purposes including account access, online donations, online purchases, and maintenance. Certain third party providers may have access to Personal Information, such as mailing house, information technology consultants, service providers, designers, and/or other content providers. We may also use Personal Information to contact users with communications (e.g. e-newsletters and e-blasts) and donor listings. Information may be provided to unaffiliated third parties in limited circumstances. Such limited circumstances may include court order, subpoena, government investigation, as otherwise required by law, or if we reasonably determine that a user has committed an unlawful act or acts. Crisis Nursery reserves the right to report any activity that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful or is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of Crisis Nursery and others. Crisis Nursery also reserves the right to share, assign, communicate, and/or transfer Personal Information to any affiliate and/or successor in interest.

The user possesses ultimate control over the information the user provides Crisis Nursery. For example, Personal Information is divulged voluntarily by the user; therefore, the user may decide whether or not to provide the information. Also, users may opt out of receiving various informational communications from Crisis Nursery. Users may also set their browsers to refuse cookies and other information collection tools; however, certain areas of the Site may not function at full capacity without these tools enabled.

Crisis Nursery reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy without notice. Any change is effective upon posting of a new Privacy Policy on the Site. If a user does not understand or has questions regarding this Privacy Policy, the user may contact Crisis Nursery. If a user does not agree with terms of this Privacy Policy, the user is not permitted to use the Site. Any use of the Site by a user shall be considered consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
