We will collect any personal information from or about you that you choose to submit to us, which may include: your name, your email address, payment information, your home and business mailing addresses, mail codes, business title, department, employee type or status, hire date, employee ID, and manager/hierarchy information.

You may be given the ability to select, change, or anonymize this information before it is shared with the applicable organization(s) if your employer elects to activate that capability.

User-Generated Content

You are responsible for any comments, data, text, images, video, audio, and other content and material that you create, post, transmit, upload, publish, distribute, broadcast, submit, or otherwise provide using the Services (collectively, “User-Generated Content”). User-Generated Content that you provide is posted on or otherwise made available through the Services at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that User-Generated Content you provide will not be viewed by unauthorized persons or entities. You understand that, even after removal, copies of User Content that you have provide may remain viewable in cached and archived pages and may have been copied or stored by Internet archives and other users of the Services.

IP Addresses and Related Information

The servers used to operate and provide the Services may collect data pertaining to you and the equipment, software, and communication methods you use to access the Internet and the Services, including TCP/IP addresses assigned to the computers and other devices from where you access the Internet, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your device ID, your approximate geographic location, your browser type, language preferences, referring and exit pages, URLs, date and time stamps, amount of time spent on particular pages, sections of the sites visited, clickstream data, search terms, operating systems, website traffic, and keywords. Grantey may use this information to administer the Services, the site and its servers, to generate statistical information, to monitor and analyze site traffic and usage patterns, to monitor and prevent fraud, to investigate complaints and violations of our policies, and to improve the site’s content and the products, services, materials, and other content that we describe or make available through the site and Services. We may combine this information with personal information, and information obtained from third parties for the purposes discussed herein. The service providers that we use to provide the site may collect information about your visits to the site and other websites.

Location Information, Cookies, and Other Tracking Technologies

When you visit or use our Services, cookies or other tracking technologies may be automatically used to facilitate and enhance the user experience on the Services and for other purposes as described below. A cookie is a small piece of information that your browser stores on your device’s hard drive and stores information about your Grantey  account (if applicable), preferences, and use of our Services. We use cookies to track how you access and use the Services, to learn how popular Service pages are and are not, to learn which search terms are used to find the Services, to learn which websites direct you to the Services, to recognize you when you return to our Services, and to track and target your interests in order to provide a customized experience (e.g., by remembering and displaying your contact and other information). They also help us to detect certain kinds of fraud. We use cookies to store preferences, record session information, record user-specific information on what pages are accessed or visited, alert you to new areas of our sites, or customize web page content.

"Session" cookies are temporary cookies used for various reasons, such as managing page views. Typically, your browser will erase session cookies once you exit the browser.

"Persistent" cookies are more permanent cookies that are stored on your computer or mobile device after you exit the browser. Persistent cookies allow us to retrieve certain information that you have previously provided to us (e.g., your user ID if you asked for it to be remembered). Our Services may use both session and persistent cookies.

Our Services may also use "tracer tags," which are tiny graphic images placed on Service pages or in our e-mails that allow us to determine whether you have performed certain actions. When you access these pages or open e-mail messages, the tags generate a notice of that action to us or our service providers. These tools allow us to measure responsiveness to our communications and improve our Services and promotions. Our use of cookies for tracer tags is restricted to session cookies and therefore does not leave artifacts on user workstations.

The Services may use both cookies that we implement and cookies implemented by our service providers and other third parties. Our service providers may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track visitors across the Internet to understand how you get to the Services. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You may manage, block or delete cookies and other tracking technologies by adjusting your browser's security and privacy settings but, if you do so, you may not be able to use particular features of our Services and your enjoyment of the Services may be impacted. Due to this automatic collection of data using cookies, we do not honor “do not track” requests.

Social Media

The Services may allow you to connect to and share information with various social media platforms, for example, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. These features may require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, and application protocol interfaces (APIs) provided by those social media platforms to facilitate those communications and features. We may share information that you provide us or that we may collect about your use of the Services with those platforms and that information will be subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to review those platforms’ privacy policies: Facebook’s Data Policy; Twitter’s Privacy Policy; LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy; and Google’s Privacy Policy. In addition, by choosing to use any third-party social media platform or choosing to share content or communications with any social media platform, you allow us to share information with the designated social media platform. We cannot control any policies or terms of such third party platform. As a result, we cannot be responsible for any use of your information or content by a third party platform, which you use at your own risk.

Embedded Content

The Services may incorporate content, including feeds scripts embedded in the Services’ code and visible content (for example, videos), provided by third parties. In some cases, those third parties collect data about how you interact with their content. For example, Vimeo may collect or otherwise have access to usage data on videos embedded on the site as described in Vimeo’s Privacy Policy.

How We Use and Disclose Collected Information

In addition to the uses described above, Grantey  and its service providers may use and disclose Collected Information as described below. We do not use, sell, rent, or disclose Collected Information except as stated in this Privacy Policy or as permitted by applicable law.

We will use Collected Information in connection with the reason for which it was collected. For instance, to provide the Services; administer, to improve and provide access to our Services; to manage and maintain Grantey  accounts; to process donations; to respond to inquiries; to upload User-Generated Content; and to communicate with you regarding our products and services, your Grantey  account, or other matters that may be of interest to you (subject to applicable laws and the terms of this Privacy Policy). If you provide us with your phone number in connection with your account, we may call you at that telephone number regarding your account or your requests for support.

If you submit a resume or other job application materials to us, we may use those materials to evaluate your qualifications and to otherwise consider or respond to your application for employment. Your submission of a resume or other job application materials does not in any way require Grantey  to review that application or consider you for employment.

By virtue of applying for a grant with a Grantey client, grant-seekers, or organizations, as applicable, are consenting (opting-in) to Grantey use of the organizational information they provide in connection with that grant application. We communicate with organizations on a periodic basis via email or phone to resolve or investigate customer service issues. We may also use grant-seeker and organization email addresses to notify you of updates to philanthropic activity and to send notices and other disclosures as required by law.

We will make User-Generated Content available to other users of the Services as applicable. For example, if you are an Authorized User and you create a volunteer event through the Services, other Authorized Users at the applicable Client will be able to view, copy, and use that information.

We may use Collected Information to analyze, develop, and improve our products and services to inform fundraising, marketing, and communication plans and strategies, and to provide you with information about additional products or services that you request or that we believe are relevant or may be of interest to you, subject to applicable laws and the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We may aggregate and anonymize personal information and other Collected Information to create anonymous aggregate data on Service users, which describes users as a group but does not reveal the identity of individual users. We may provide that data in response to a government request or to other third parties for lawful purposes and we may use that data to understand Service users’ needs, to determine Service user demographics and usage patterns, to determine what kinds of products and services we can provide, and to improve and enrich our products and services.

Legal Requirements - We may use and disclose Collected Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action or disclosure is necessary or appropriate to (i) comply with any legal obligation, report unlawful activity, cooperate with law enforcement, protect against legal liability, or bring legal action in the event of a violation of our contracts, terms, or policies, (iii) protect and defend our rights, property, personnel, suppliers, sponsors, agents or licensors, or (iv) protect the personal safety or rights of users of our Services or the public.
