Privacy Policy

This Online and Mobile Privacy Policy (Policy) explains our practices with regard to the “Personal Identifiable Information” collected from visitors to our website and mobile applications at nationalcprfoundation.com (collectively known as ‘Site’)

What information we collect and how we collect?

Personal Information

“Personal Information” means basic information that we can use to identify or contact you, such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card information, banking account information. It can also include purchase history, customer preferences, and geo-locational data, medical information related to age, health, prescription medication, or insurance or medical claim-related data, educational or employment information, personal identification numbers (e.g., Social Security numbers or driver’s license numbers), date and place of birth and other information you submit when you use our interactive tools and services. We may collect Personal Information in the following ways:

  • When you visit or use our online systems, whether web-based or mobile, we may collect your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number(s), account numbers, limited location information (for example, to help a mobile app determine the best means of connecting to the database or for shipping something you purchased), user name and password (so you can log in) and personal health information (such as within our health improvement apps);
  • We may collect payment card or similar information when you provide it to us as part of a purchase;
  • We may capture the IP address and ID of the device you use to connect to the online service, the type of operating system and browser you use, and information about the site you came from, the parts of our online service you access, the type of mobile device you use and the site you visit;
  • When you register for or use certain interactive tools and services, many of our mobile Apps, or tools inside many of our Apps;

Cookies and Web Beacons

We, or our service providers, and other companies we work with may deploy and use cookies, web beacons, local shared objects and other tracking technologies for various purposes, such as fraud prevention and monitoring of our advertising and marketing campaign performance. Some of these tracking tools may detect characteristics or settings of the specific device you use to access our online services. NCPRF uses tracking technologies to better analyze our customers needs. A cookie is a text script that is stored on the visitors hard-disk drive for record keeping and data storing of the visitors tracking on NationalCPRFoundation.com. The use of cookies allows us the verification of conversions. In no way does the use of cookies give us information regarding our customers or visitors. The use of cookies is an identifier tool strictly designed to better serve our customers needs which enhances our customers and visitors experience while using NationalCPRFoundation.com. If you do not want us to collect information using cookies, you can disable this function in your browser. If you block cookies from us, however, you may not be able to see personalized content and our website may not function optimally.

Children

NCPRF provides additional protection for the privacy of children. The NCPRF Web Sites are not designed or intended to attract children under the age of 13. The NCPRF Web Sites do not collect Personal Information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13. A parent or guardian, however, may use NCPRF web sites to input information from their children under the age of 13 such as: name, address, email address, account information, and content they create themselves. That information allows us to fulfill requested transactions, facilitate their participation in online activities, keep records, undertake certain marketing activities, or to otherwise customize or enhance the web site experience for children. The parent or guardian is solely responsible for providing supervision of the minor’s use of NCPRF web sites. The parent or guardian assumes full responsibility for ensuring that the registration information is kept secure and that the information submitted is accurate. The parent or guardian also assumes full responsibility for the interpretation and use of any information or suggestions provided through NCPRF web sites for the minor.

Regardless of what is displayed or submitted, parents can revoke their consent and ask that information about their children be hidden or, in some cases, deleted, by contacting our offices by phone at the number in the “contact us about privacy” section of this privacy policy statements.

Information from Other Sources

We may also collect information about you from additional online and offline sources including from social media activities, other nonprofits, and commercially available third-party sources. We may combine this information with the personal and other information we have collected about you.

How we protect your information?

Despite NCPRF’s efforts to protect your Personal Information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet may be intercepted.

The security of your Personal Information is important to us.  When you enter Personal Information (including personal health information in various tools on our website), we encrypt the transmission of that information or use SSL connections (Secure Socket Layer) technology.

We will retain your Personal Information as long as your account is active or needed to provide you services. At any time you can remove your Personal Information or instruct us to remove it, but you should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to NCPRF from our servers. NCPRF tools that collect and store Personal Information allow you to correct, update or review information you have submitted by going back to the specific tool, logging-in and making the desired changes. We will also retain your Personal Information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy or as specifically agreed to by you, NCPRF will not disclose any Personal Information it gathers from you through the NCPRF Web Sites. We may only release Personal Information to third parties: (1) to comply with legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order; (2) when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request; or (3) in special cases, such as in response to a physical threat to you or others, to protect property or defend or assert legal rights. In addition, we may disclose Personal Information as described below. We may share Non-Personal Information that we have about you, including about your browsing activity on NCPRF, with third party advertising service providers who may use this information, on our behalf, to help NCPRF deliver advertising on the NCPRF Web Sites as well as on other sites on the Internet.

In the event of a corporate change in control resulting from, for example, a sale to, or merger with, another entity, or in the event of a sale of assets or a bankruptcy, NCPRF reserves the right to transfer your Personal Information to the new party in control or the party acquiring assets. In the event of such a change, your Personal Information will continue to be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy unless any changes to the Privacy Policy are made in accordance with the section below that discusses “Changes to This Privacy Policy.”

Disclosures to NCPRF Contractors

NCPRF contractors sometimes have limited access to your Personal and Non-Personal Information in the course of providing products or services to NCPRF. These contractors include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services, data analysis, research, advertising and marketing assistance and/or content in connection with our operation and maintenance of the NCPRF Web Sites.

Disclosures to Third Party Web Sites

We may provide links to websites that are owned or operated by others (“third-party websites”).  When you use a link online to visit a third-party website, you will be subject to that website’s privacy and security practices, which may differ from ours. You should familiarize yourself with the privacy policy, terms of use and security practices of the linked third-party website before providing any information on that website.

What choices do I have about my information?
