This Privacy Policy is part of the Terms and Conditions that govern your use of this Site. You may review our Terms and Conditions by clicking on the link at the bottom of each page of this Site.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy covers the “personal information” we collect through this Site. “Personal information” is information that identifies you personally, either alone or in combination with other information available to us.

Your Consent

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using this Site, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, you may not use this Site.

Our privacy notices are part of this Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice, by posting the revised version on this Site. The changes will be effective as of the date we post the revised version on this Site. They will apply only to the personal information we collect after we have posted the revised version.

What Personal Information Do We Collect Through This Site?

Information You Provide. We collect the personal information you knowingly provide (using your mouse and keyboard) when you use this Site. The information we collect depends on how you use this Site. Specifically, the purpose of the Site involves you providing various types of information as described in the Terms and Conditions. This sharing of information is fully at the discretion of the users of the Site and, pursuant to the limitation of liability and disclaimer language in the Terms and Conditions to the Site, MCCF accepts no liability for the possible undesired disclosure of such information due to any issue with the Site or otherwise.

Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser, In General. We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your Web browser. This information typically includes your IP address, the identity of your Internet Service Provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. An “IP address” is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. It is used to identify your computer’s “location” in cyberspace, so that the information you request can be delivered to you. If you use a dial-up connection or a connection that assigns dynamic IP addresses, your computer may be assigned a new IP Address each time you connect to the Internet. If, however, your computer is permanently connected to the Internet using a static IP address, the IP address assigned to your computer will generally be the same each time you use your computer. Although it does not identify you by name, we treat your IP address as your personal information.

Generally, we do not link the information provided by your browser to information that identifies you by name. You should know, however, that when you access this Site by clicking on a link in an electronic communication you receive from us, your browser tells us that someone has clicked on a particular link in that particular electronic communication. We use this information to improve our marketing efforts. In addition, we review our server logs — which contain visitors’ IP addresses — for security and fraud prevention purposes. If criminal activity is suspected, we may share our server logs and the personal information we have collected through this Site with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.

Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use “cookies” and other Web technologies for a number of purposes, including

to collect information about the ways visitors use this Site — for example, which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;

to support the features and functionality of this Site — for example, to save you the trouble of re-entering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits to this Site;

to personalize your experience when you use this Site; and

to remarket to you after you have left this Site.

Generally, the information we collect using these Web technologies does not identify you personally. If, however, you have created a user identity, we may link the information we collect using Web technologies to other information that identifies you personally.

If you do not wish to allow cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. You may also delete our cookies as soon as you leave this Site. Although you are not required to accept our cookies when you visit this Site, you will not be able to use all of the features and functionality of this Site if you set your browser to reject cookies.

How Do We Use the Personal Information We Collect Through This Site?

Generally, we use the personal information we collect through this Site:

to provide the information and services you request;

to personalize your experience when you use this Site;

to personalize our communications with you;

to contact you with other information and/or services that we believe will be of interest to you (unless you have chosen not to receive these communications);

to contact you with information and notices related to your use of this Site;

to invite you to participate in surveys and provide feedback to us (unless you have chosen not to receive such invitations);

to make sure our mailing lists are accurate, current and do not contain multiple entries for the same individual;

to better understand your needs and interests;

to improve the content, functionality and usability of this Site;

to deliver advertising or remarketing reminders through display networks encouraging users to return to the Site;

to improve our marketing and promotional efforts; and

for security and fraud-prevention purposes.

How Do We Share Your Personal Information?

Service Providers. We may share your personal information with companies that perform services on our behalf, such as credit card verification, online recruiting, and Web hosting service providers.

Compliance With Laws and Protection of Our Rights and the Rights of Others. We may disclose personal information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law or a legal obligation. We may also disclose personal information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or other agreements; or to protect our own rights or property or the rights, property or safety of our users or others.

Partner Organizations. We partner with various 501(c)(3) organizations to aid us in carrying out our charitable purpose. Your personal information may be shared with these other organizations for noncommercial purposes either because we believe that you may have an interest in that organization, or because doing so helps us advance our charitable purpose. To the extent we share information with these partner organizations, we ensure they maintain the same level of privacy provided by our Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy.

Successors in Interest. Your personal information may be transferred to another entity that succeeds to all or part of our business, for example, if we reorganize our structure or transfer a significant portion of our assets or personnel to another entity. In such event, your personal information will continue to be protected by this Privacy Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.

Donor Terms and Conditions. By making a donation to MCCF, you may be required to accept certain donor terms and conditions. To the extent this Privacy Policy and any applicable donor terms and conditions conflict with respect to your donation, the donor terms and conditions shall be controlling.

Your Choices

We respect your right to make choices about the ways we collect, use and disclose your personal information. In most cases, we will ask you to indicate your choices at the time we collect your personal information.

We will not use your personal information for direct marketing purposes, without your consent. We will include an “opt-out” link in electronic newsletters and promotional emails we send you, so that you can inform us that you do not wish to receive such communications from us in the future. If at any time you wish to be removed from our mailing lists, please contact us using the contact information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please provide your full name, postal address and email address so that we can locate you on our mailing lists.

Security

We take reasonable precautions to provide a level of security appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information we collect. Although we use reasonable measures to help protect your personal information against unauthorized use or disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of information provided over the Internet or stored in our databases. Your transmissions are, therefore, at your own risk.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed under the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
