Welcome to the Pisces Foundation website. We respect your privacy and are committed to the protection of personal information that you choose to provide us through our site. The following privacy policy (this Privacy Policy) informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (Personal Information), and any other data that is provided to us through use of our site. This Privacy Policy describes the Personal Information that we may collect from you, or that you may provide to us, when you visit the site and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing such information. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the site and through communications between you and the site. It does not apply to any other information or communications that may reference Pisces Foundation. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting a notice on the site or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
Personal Information We Collect:
We do not collect Personal Information about you unless you choose to provide us with such information. If you register for our newsletter (as defined below), we may collect Personal Information about you such as your name and email address. Similarly, if you register on our grantee portal, you will be asked to provide us with your name, the name of your organization, your job title, your company email address, and your phone number. If you would prefer that we not collect Personal Information from you, please do not provide it. When you submit your Personal Information on our site, you are giving your consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We may also receive your Personal Information from various third parties that we engage to assist us with providing you products or services, including data analytics information from companies that provide us with data analytics services. These third parties are contractually required to use your Personal Information only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
How We Use the Personal Information We Collect:
We use your Personal Information for the following purposes: to send you Emails you have expressly chosen to receive; to review and respond to information you submit via our grantee portal; to review and respond to your questions; to enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf; to administer, safeguard, and improve the site; protect our rights and the safety of others; and/or to comply with applicable law, court order, subpoena, or legal process served on us.
The information you provide us may be used to create and deliver to you emails, such as our newsletter, or other email messages containing news, information, or other announcements (“Emails”). If you prefer not to receive such Emails, please do not register to receive them. If you do register and later decide that you would no longer like to receive these Emails, you may unsubscribe from our emails or communications at any time (see the “How You can Access and Control Your Information” Section below).
Our Emails are administered through a third-party email service provider. As a result, your Personal Information, including your name and email address, will be disclosed to that provider and will be used pursuant to its own privacy policy. For questions, corrections, updates, deletions, or changes to any Personal Information held by our email service provider, please contact us at admin@piscesfoundation.org.
We use a third-party service provider to operate our grantee portal on the site, which grantees use to submit grant proposals and reports. As a result, any Personal Information you submit on our grantee portal will be disclosed to that provider and will be used pursuant to its own privacy policy. For questions, corrections, updates, deletions, or changes to any Personal Information held by our grantee portal provider, please contact us at admin@piscesfoundation.org.
Additional Information for All Users:
This section applies to all users of our site, regardless of where you are located. Please be aware that your Personal Information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or in other jurisdictions where data protection laws may differ from those of your own jurisdiction. If you have questions about our handling of your Personal Information, please contact us at admin@piscesfoundation.org.
We collect and use your Personal Information only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including where you have given us your consent, where it is necessary to provide you with products or services you have requested, where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, or where it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation. Where we rely on your consent to process your Personal Information, you can withdraw that consent at any time and, to the extent required by applicable law, we will then stop processing your information for that purpose, except where we are otherwise required or permitted by law to continue.
We may use your Personal Information to: send you Emails you have expressly chosen to receive; review and respond to information you submit via our grantee portal; review and respond to your questions; enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf; administer, safeguard, and improve the site; protect our rights and the safety of others; and/or comply with applicable law, court order, subpoena, or legal process served on us.
How We Collect and Use Non-Personal Information:
We may collect non-personal information, or data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any individual. For example, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect and store details of how you use our site. This “usage data” is limited to information related to your interactions with our site. The technologies we use for usage data collection include:
Cookies
Cookies may be issued when you visit our site. We may place a cookie on your computer or device so we can recognize you as a return user and personalize your experience and your use of our site. We also use cookies to help us understand how you engage with our site. [You can accept or reject cookies by clicking the “cookie settings” button in our cookie notice.] You can also do so by adjusting your web browser controls. For more information about cookies and instructions on how to adjust your browser settings to accept, delete or reject cookies, see http://www.allaboutcookies.org/
Third-Party Services
We use third-party analytics services, including Google Analytics and others, to collect information about your use of our site and enable us to improve our site. We use the information we receive from third-party analytics services to maintain and improve the site and our products and services. Google Analytics and other third-party analytics services use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about use of our site and to report trends to us, without identifying individuals.
Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your access and use of the site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Website, available at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html, and the Google Privacy Policy, available at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. You may learn more about how Google collects and processes data specifically in connection with Google Analytics at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You may prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Click-through URLs
If you “opt in” to receive emails from us, our emails may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our site. When you click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our site. We use this click-through data to help us understand how recipients respond to our emails. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, please do not click text or graphic links in emails that you receive from us.
Log Files
We gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, and internet service provider (ISP). We use this information, which is not linked to Personal Information, to analyze trends, to administer our site and to track users’ movements around our site.
Web Beacons
Pages of our site and our Emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an Email and to compile other related website statistics. You can limit the effect of certain of these technologies by adjusting your browser controls as described in the “Cookies” section above and by using the browser-based privacy signals described below.
Some web browsers offer a “do not track” (“DNT”) setting. Because no common industry standard for responding to DNT signals has been adopted, our site does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, we honor recognized universal opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), where required by applicable law. Where we detect a GPC or other recognized opt-out preference signal from your browser or device, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information to the extent required by applicable law.
Disclosure of Information We Collect:
We do not rent or sell your Personal Information to anyone. We may share and disclose information (including Personal Information) that we collect or you provide us in the following limited circumstances:
Agents and Service Providers
We may share your information with third party agents and service providers who we employ to perform tasks on our behalf and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal Information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. These companies include, for example, our data analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics), our grantee portal service provider (e.g., Salesforce), our email service provider (e.g., MailChimp), and others.
Protection of Pisces Foundation and Others
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as necessary to enforce or apply our agreements, or protect our rights or property, or if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of our employees, grantees, donors, or others.
Disclosures for National Security or Law Enforcement
Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your Personal Information in response to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or to comply with any court order, law, or legal process.
Storage and Transfer of Information We Collect:
The information we collect or you provide us may be transferred to – and maintained on – computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
We take reasonable measures to ensure that any third-party service providers who process Personal Information on our behalf do so in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
How You can Access and Control Your Information:
When you provide your contact information to us on the Site, you may update your preferences on the Site to unsubscribe from receiving future Emails from us. Further, you may unsubscribe by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link found at the bottom of each of our Emails or by contacting us at: admin@piscesfoundation.org
You may request to review, correct, or delete the Personal Information we hold about you by contacting us at admin@piscesfoundation.org. We will respond to such requests in accordance with applicable law. Please note that we may retain your Personal Information where necessary to provide a product or service you have requested or that is ongoing (such as a recurring donation), to complete a transaction you have authorized, for our legitimate business purposes, or as otherwise required or permitted by law, and we may decline a deletion request to that extent.
If you object to the processing of your Personal Information, or if you have provided your consent to processing and you later choose to withdraw it, we will respect that choice in accordance with our legal obligations.
Your objection (or withdrawal of any previously given consent) could mean that we are unable to perform the actions necessary to achieve the purposes set out above. Please note that even after you have chosen to withdraw your consent, we may continue to process your Personal Information to the extent required or otherwise permitted by law, in particular in connection with exercising and defending our legal rights or meeting our legal and regulatory obligations.
