SCOPE OF POLICY
This policy applies to our treatment of personally identifiable

offer via the Website. The policy does not apply to practices of companies
whose sites may be linked to this Website. For access to the privacy policies
of such linked sites, please refer to the information provided by such sites at
their home pages. Also see the
paragraph below under the heading "Hypertext Links".
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
We collect personally
identifiable information when you access the Website, and when you use the
Website to request information or other services from us. On such occasions, we ask for your name, email address, phone
number, zip code and personal information concerning your interests,
occupation, gender and other demographic information. We also receive and
record information from server logs and your browser (including cookie
information as described below) relating to pages requested and the like.
We do not seek to collect such information from persons under the
age of 16. If you are under the age of 16, please do not submit any such
information to us. If you are the parent or guardian of a person under the age
of 18 who has provided such information to us, please inform us (through the
Website or email address listed above) and we will remove such information from
our database as described further below.
In addition, no person (of any age) is required to provide us with
the personally identifiable information we request. If you do not wish to provide such information, you are free
not to do so. Your provision of requested information to us through our Website
or other means is presumed by us to be voluntary and with your consent to the
uses described herein. If after submitting personally identifiable information
to us, you wish to "opt-out," please contact us as noted above and we
will remove your information from our database as set forth below in the
section titled "Managing Your Information." Please know that such a decision will not stop advertising
or content that is generated prior to the time when we can accomplish the
removal of your information.
We use the information you provide to us to customize advertising
and content that we present to you, to contact you concerning specials and new
products and to enhance our product offerings. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable
information to any third party except when:
1.
You have been given
an opportunity to "opt out" of sharing the information and have
declined to exercise that right within the time period provided;
2.
We must share the
information in order to provide a product or service that you have requested,
in which case we will demand that any third party we use to fulfill your order
agree that it does not have the right to use the personally identifiable information
other than to fulfill your request; or
3.
We are required to
respond to a subpoena, court order or other legal process requiring such
disclosure.
In addition, we may share your information with our strategic
partners and other third parties with whom we have a written agreement that
provides for a cooperative, mutually beneficial commercial relationship. In these cases, we may not give you
notice or an opportunity to opt out, but we will obligate that third party to
treat your information as confidential, and not to use your information for any
purposes other than those for which we are authorized to use it.
USE OF COOKIES
We use cookies to enhance the interactive nature of your Internet
experience on our Website and to provide a convenient feature to save you time.
Cookies enable us to quickly retrieve specific information from previous visits
and to recall features that you may have customized on your browser.
MANAGING YOUR INFORMATION
You are entitled to request access to and correction of all your
personal data collected by us via this Web site, as well as to require us to
delete your data if you no longer want us to process it. You can make such a
request or a related inquiry by contacting us. For contact information, email give@diamondempowerment.org. Please note that there may be a small charge
for making an access request or it may be free, depending on the circumstances.
You can find out more details by emailing or calling us as provided above. We
will keep your data as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes
described in this Statement. You may choose not to receive unsolicited
marketing material from us, and you have the right to request deletion of your
account information, subject to our need to keep appropriate archives of our
business operations. You will
appreciate that fulfilling requests regarding your information will take
time. Please be patient. We will attend to all requests as soon
as reasonably possible in light of the circumstances. We prioritize requests (e.g., requests to remove information
about minor children is a higher priority than updating your email address)
and, accordingly, your request won't necessarily be dealt with in order or
receipt.
SECURITY
We employ reasonable measures to maintain all personally
identifiable information provided by you on computer servers in a controlled
and secured environment in an effort to hinder unauthorized access, loss,
alteration, use or disclosure of such information. However, the nature of the
Internet is such that information may be transmitted over networks without
appropriate security measures and may be accessed, deleted, altered, used or
disclosed by unauthorized persons.
Because of the international nature of the services and products
provided by this Website, and the nature of our business, personal data may
(subject to applicable law) be transferred internationally throughout our
world-wide network (details of which are available on request by emailing or
calling us as provided above) for the purposes described above. This may mean
that personal data is transferred to countries that do not have laws or
regulations which protect personal data as extensively as the United States,
where the server for this Website is located. We use reasonable measures to
limit the disclosure of the data you provide to us only to certain of our staff
and the staff of our affiliated companies (e.g., staff whose job it is to
process your inquiries and survey answers or otherwise to administer the
Website, and those staff involved in the provision of those of our services and
products which may be of interest to you) and to require that they process the
data only for the purposes identified in this Statement.
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS POLICY
We may make modifications or amendments to this policy from time
to time. In the event that such changes alter how we gather, process, use or
discloses your personally identifiable information, we will post such changes
on our Website before they are implemented.
