Privacy Statement

Rebuilding Together Bryan / College Station (RTBCS) respects the privacy of visitors coming to the Rebuilding Together Bryan / College Station Website (the “Site”), www.rebuildingbcs.org. Our goal is to protect online information with the same diligence that we protect information obtained through other means. We explain below our practices and the standards we aspire to meet regarding personal information collected from visitors to the Site. This Privacy Statement is subject to the Terms and Conditions for the Site, to which you agree by accessing and browsing the Site.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our accounting clerk, or IT administrator) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our staff is notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy and what they are required to do to ensure our donors’ information is protected.

A. Information Collection and Use

The Site collects information about Site visitors in several ways, which include:

1. IP Address. Your web browser automatically transmits certain information when you visit our Site, such as the IP address through which you are accessing the Internet. Our web servers use the IP address to return the web pages you have chosen to view. In addition, our servers log the IP address and other information concerning Site visits, including the date and time of access. We use this information to administer and improve the Site. Your IP address does not contain your name or email address.

2. Email Correspondence. When you send us email correspondence, we obtain your return email address and any personal information that you include in the email. We may share this information internally, with affiliates, or with partners to give appropriate consideration to its content and, if appropriate, to prepare a response. We ordinarily do not disclose your email correspondence in any other manner, unless you request otherwise or we need to disclose it for legal reasons.

3. Online Input and Order Forms. When you submit information using our online input and order forms, we obtain the information you submit and may use the information to contact you about services in which you have expressed interest. We also may share the information internally, with affiliates, or with partners for reasons related to services and resources provided through RTBCS. We ordinarily do not disclose such information in any other manner, unless you request otherwise or we need to disclose it for legal reasons.

4. E-commerce Transactions/Donor Privacy Policy. Orders placed for secure e-commerce transactions may require that you submit your name, email address, shipping address, credit card billing address, card number, expiration date, and/or other personal information. We obtain the information you submit. We use credit card numbers for payment processing. In addition, if we have trouble processing an order, we use the contact information you provided to get in touch with you. Rebuilding Together Bryan / College Station takes your privacy seriously and treats all financial information about any transaction you have with RTBCS as highly confidential. Rebuilding Together Bryan / College Station will not sell, trade or share our donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations.

5. E-newsletters. If you wish to subscribe to any of our newsletters, we require certain contact information (such as name and e-mail address). We use this information to send you the newsletter as requested. Users who no longer wish to receive a newsletter may opt-out of receiving the newsletter using the specific instructions found at the bottom of each newsletter or its corresponding web page.

B. Additional Terms

1. Rebuilding Together Bryan / College Station may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary (a) to comply with the law or legal process, (b) to protect and defend the rights or property of RTBCS, or (c) to act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of RT employees or agents, Site visitors, or members of the public.

2. The Site is intended for an audience of adults in the United States of America. RTBCS does not knowingly collect personal information on the Site from persons outside the United States or from children.

RTBCS ASPIRES TO ADHERE TO THE PRACTICES AND TO MEET THE STANDARDS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT AND WILL ENDEAVOR TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY ON THE SITE. RTBCS DOES NOT, HOWEVER, ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY NONCONFORMITY WITH THESE PRACTICES OR STANDARDS. NEITHER RTGD NOR ANY OTHER SITE PROVIDER (AS DEFINED IN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SITE) WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT OR THE INFORMATION COLLECTION OR USE PRACTICES OR STANDARDS OF RTGD OR THE SITE.
