When you make a donation through Helping With Furniture (HWF) or help us as a volunteer, you are entrusting us with very important personal information, and we understand that you may have concerns about privacy issues on the Internet. HWF feels that protecting the privacy of our donors and volunteers are one of our most important things. Your personal information, although it is shared with HWF, belongs to you. When we refer to "personal information", we mean any information about an identifiable individual, whether it concerns your email address, where you live, your interests or which organizations you support. We feel that it is your right to be able to give in a safe and secure environment, and to know how your personal information is being used.
Your personal information will never be shared, traded, sold or used in any manner not explicitly approved by you. We do not swap mailing lists, share information or sell (or even collect) phone numbers. Only HWF are allowed to access this personal information. The only other circumstances under which we would divulge any personal information to a third party is upon subpoena or order from a legitimate court or police agency. In any case when your information is shared, HWF will demand reasonable assurance that third parties will protect your information in conformity with our privacy practices From time to time, HWF may share statistics that describe how our visitors use our site. This might include information like the average donation stuff, how donations break down by geographic area, what times of the month have the heaviest donation traffic and how many volunteers take participation by month. None of these statistics will ever reveal any personally-identifiable or individual information. This information allows HWF to better serve donors and volunteers, use its marketing resources more efficiently, and understand how to effectively communicate about HWF to its donors and volunteers. |
