Privacy Policy and Legal Disclosures
Effective Government, which is in the process of changing its name to Abundance Network (Abundance Network), is a nonprofit corporation operating pursuant to section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are committed to protecting your privacy and have created this policy to explain our privacy practices. This policy applies to the site accessible through this website; it does not apply to other websites.
Collection of your Personal Information
In addition to any information that you enter on the site, we automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us online. For example, when you visit our site, our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser you use. Information may be automatically collected through the use of “cookies” (more information below).
In addition to your email address, we also gather other information, including session storage properties, metadata, basic information about your device, and IP address. We collect this information for the purpose of delivering the service. We use Pantheon to store and deliver user data. For further details on how your data is managed and protected while using Pantheon, please refer to Pantheon’s Privacy Policy.
Use and Disclosure of your Personal Information
Abundance Network collects and uses your personal information to operate the website and deliver the services you have requested. These services may include the display of customized content based upon the information we have collected.
Information about our donors and website visitors is one of our most important assets and therefore we keep it confidential. Personal information is made available to others for the following, limited purposes:
- To Carry Out Your Requests: we may be required to disclose personal information in order to carry out your requests when you use the site. This may include sharing your personal information with our third-party vendors. For example, we may share personal information with third parties as necessary to deliver you email updates and to facilitate your participation in our events. This use and release to specific vendors is described in more detail below.
- To Protect You and Ourselves: we release personal information when we believe release is necessary or appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena); to protect our rights or property; to protect our donors and supporters from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires the disclosure of communications or records.
Data Retention
We store the information we collect on you for as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it.
Use of Cookies
We use cookies to tailor your experience on our site according to the preferences you have specified. When you visit AbundanceNetwork.com, your browser saves a tiny piece of information on your computer. This information personalizes and improves your experience online.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience all the features of marianneforamerica.com.
How Do We Protect Your information?
We employ a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information. For example, we use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. We restrict access to personal information about you to those employees and third-party vendors who need to know that information to provide services to you. Further, we store the personal information we collect from you behind a secure firewall and place the transaction site on a secure server. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input and allows you to view your information in a secure manner.
Third-Party Analytic Services
We may allow others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the web and in mobile applications. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Site and other websites and applications, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in apps, links clicked, and conversion information. This information may be used by us and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our website and other websites, and better understand your online activity.
For example, we use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site.
We only use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve this site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.
