INFORMATION COLLECTION, USE AND PROTECTION

Like most website owners, FPSF receives and records information from your browser in our Site server logs, including your IP or referral address and the page you requested. Aside from this standard tracking data, the only other personal information our Site collects about you is such data as you knowingly provide in one of our on-line forms which may include your name, postal address, zip code, telephone number, organization name, e-mail address, credit card, bank information or billing information.

We work with third parties that provide services to us and we may share your personal information with them to complete those services. Those parties can include but are not limited to donor data management companies, credit card processing companies, website hosting or information technology consulting service providers, security service providers, and application service providers. In addition, your information may be used to contact you with information about how you can further support our efforts. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Additionally, we will only release personal information to another person or company to the extent required to comply with applicable law, respond to governmental inquires or request or comply with valid legal processes. We do not use information obtained on this site for direct marketing purposes. If we share your information for such purpose we will inform you and provide you with an opt-out option, and upon request, a list of all third parties with whom personal information has been shared.

We, and third-parties acting on our behalf, take precautions involving physical, electronic, and managerial controls to protect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, and alteration any of your personal information in our possession. We, and third-parties acting on our behalf, employ industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer encryption when requesting certain financial personal information from you. We or third-parties acting on our behalf do not, however, use such encryption during your day-to-day use of our website. You should note that the confidentiality of any information transmitted over the Internet cannot be guaranteed.
