Personal Information that Good+Foundation May Collect Online and Offline

The personal information that Good+Foundation collects may include, but is not limited to, your name, mailing and email address, and phone numbers. We may collect certain information when you register to attend an event, sign up to receive our newsletter or make an online donation, but Good+Foundation does not collect or store your payment card information through the Site or in hard copy. If you choose to donate to Good+Foundation using our online option, your transaction will be processed by Fundraise Up. Fundraise Up has its own separate terms of use and privacy notice. If you want to know how Fundraise Up is handling your personal information, you should review its privacy policy.

Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, Good+Foundation does not knowingly collect or solicit any personal information from children under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such children to provide us with their personal information without parent or guardian consent. In addition, no part of our Site is designed with the purpose of attracting any person under age 13. If we learn that we collected personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without parent or guardian consent, we will delete that information. If you believe that we may have information from or about anyone under the age of 13, please contact us at [email protected] or (212) 736-1777.

How Good+Foundation Uses Personal Information Collected Online and Offline

Unless you otherwise consent, we will use your personal information only for the purpose for which it is submitted, such as to reply to your inquiries, to provide you with information you request or to prepare tax notifications. On the Site, at events, or if you volunteer with us at one of our two warehouses, there is an option to sign up to receive Good+Foundation's newsletter and be on a mailing list to receive information about other Good+Foundation programs and events. At any time, you can add or remove your name from the Good+Foundation mailing list by contacting us at [email protected] or call at (212) 736-1777.

In order to provide certain services and goods on the Site, or to support events, we contract with other companies and individuals. These additional services and goods may include links to other websites from the Site. This privacy policy only applies to the Site and Good+Foundation events and information, and is not applicable to any third-party sites. Any time you leave the Site, or provide your personal information to other third parties at our events, we have no control over this information, nor do we control what those third parties might do with information collected about you. Addionally, third party websites have their own privacy notices that apply once you enter their sites. It is important that you review any third party privacy notices carefully if you want to know how your personal information is handled.

How Your Information May Be Shared

We will not sell, share or rent donor information collected online or offline at volunteer or other events. However, Good+Foundation, in its sole discretion, as it believes necessary or appropriate, may release personal information under the following circumstances:

• If required by law (for example, a subpoena) or regulation or requested by a government agency;
• If our records indicate a company may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices that a governmental agency should be made aware of;
• To appropriate governmental authorities, where warranted by a company’s failure to participate in the advertising self-regulatory process or where a company fails to honor the recommendations of the National Advertising Division, Children’s Advertising Review Unit or the National Advertising Review Board; or
• To appropriate persons, where your communication suggests possible harm to others.

How We Keep Your Information Secure

Good+Foundation uses physical, administrative and technological security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of the information we collect from you. The Site is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols, and we maintain a valid SSL certificate. Although we take steps to secure your information, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you provide on the Site or to us directly.
