Privacy Policy

We at the Allona’s Angels (for these purposes will be referred to as “we” or “us” or “our”) appreciate your interest in this website and our desire to better the lives of seniors in Memory Care and Assisted Living facilities. Your privacy is important and we are committed to protecting the personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that you disclose to us. We want you to understand our practices with respect to how we gather and use the information we collect from visitors to the Site. This Privacy Policy covers our collection, use, and disclosure of information we collect through our Site and how that information may be used or shared by us and third parties.

This Privacy Policy is subject to change. If we make any material changes we will notify you by means of a notice on the Site prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically and to make note of the date of the most recent revision.  If you disagree with the manner in which we intend to use the Personal Information you provide to us, please do not use the Site. By using our Site, you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy in effect at that time and may be updated from time to time.

If you have questions or complaints regarding our Privacy Policy or practices, please contact us at [email protected].

We collect both Personal Information and non-personally identifiable information through the Site in order to help us to learn more about how our visitors use the Site, measure areas of interest, and to provide our users with important information about Allona’s Angels.  The collection of information allows us to build features and functionality that will enhance your experience. You are not obligated to provide us with Personal Information in order to use the Site. However, we do require that you register and provide certain Personal Information in order to sign up for specific donations or voluntary opportunities, to receive information about Allona’s Angels and the giving programs featured on the Site, and to receive newsletters.

We collect non-personally identifiable information through the use of General Tracking Information and Click Path Tracking (cookie technology) described below.

We keep track of the pages visited by each user. Our web server automatically collects some information about you when you request pages from our server, including your IP address. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to you. We aggregate this data with data on the pages visited by other users to track overall visitor traffic patterns. We use this information to improve our Site by making it more responsive to the needs and preferences of our users. This information does not identify you personally.

Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts are used by Allona’s Angels, our partners, and/or our analytics, information technology, and web monitoring service providers. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the Site, tracking users’ movements around the Site, and gathering demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. Mobile applications may also use cookies. We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you. We do this to help improve the services we offer you and to help improve marketing, analytics, or Site functionality.

We use local storage (“LS”) also referred to as HTML5 to store content information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our Site use local storage to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LS.

We may share non-personally identifiable information in aggregated form with third parties who are providing research services that, in turn, will help to enhance the experiences of the participants or recipients of the giving program(s) featured on the Site.  We and these third parties may publish the results of these research findings (e.g., in academic environments).

If you choose to register on our Site, you will be asked to provide Personal Information which may include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number. When you register, we will place your name in our mailing list and will send you an e-mail to the address you have provided to confirm your registration on our Site.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Occasionally we may include on our Site a hyperlink (“Link”) that allows you to connect to the home page of a third-party website (“Third Party Site”).  Allona’s Angels provides these Links to you as a convenient method of accessing information that may be useful or of interest to you. This Privacy Policy and the practices that we follow under this Privacy Policy do not apply to Third-Party Sites, which are operated independently from the Allona’s Angels and the Site. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on any Third Party Site or for the privacy practices of any third party. We will not, and are under no obligation to, investigate, monitor, or check the Third Party Sites for accuracy or completeness, or for any obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, indecent, profane, defamatory, or unlawful content or materials. Inclusion of any Link to a Third Party Site that is placed on our Site does not imply approval or endorsement of the Third Party Site. You understand and agree that by clicking on a link to a Third Party Site, you have left the Site, and Allona’s Angels Privacy Policy stated on the Site is no longer in effect.

Our Site includes social media sharing tools and features, such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and “share” buttons and widgets, and interactive mini-programs that run on our Site (each a “Feature” and, collectively, the “Features”). These Features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policies of the companies providing them.

Security

To reduce the possibility of unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place a number of physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help protect the information we collect online.  In addition, standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates may be used on the pages used for inputting users’ Personal Information. However, due to the open communication nature of the Internet, no system can be completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information.

Do Not Track Disclosure

Do Not Track is a web browser privacy preference that causes the web browser to broadcast a signal to websites requesting the user’s activity that such activity will not be tracked.  The Site does not respond to Do Not Track signals.
