1. COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The term "personal information" means information that can be used to identify an individual, such as name, phone number, email address, or mailing address. We collect personal information when you:

Use Our Services as a Client

When you use our Services, you may be asked to provide registration information that identifies you ("Registration Information"). We collect personal information and other information regarding your fundraiser including your name; email address; date of birth; fundraiser name; name of entity for which you are fundraising; fundraiser goals; fundraiser photo; an overview of your fundraiser in the “About” section; fundraising team names; mailing address; phone number; and other information you provide in connection with your fundraiser(s). We use this information to provide our Services and we may use this information, with your consent where required, to send promotional messages about the Services.

 

Make a Donation

When you make a donation, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, mailing address, and billing information. The third party in charge of the fundraiser may ask additional questions. If you make your donation through our White Label Program, the third party hosting the fundraiser collects the information you provide. We use this information to provide our Services, to send promotional messages about our Services, and to provide reports containing aggregated, non-personal information, to our clients about their fundraisers.

 

Send Pictures

When you upload a picture, it will be publicly available to all viewers of your profile and fundraising page. Also, when you send us a picture or message via email, text message, Instagram or Snapchat, we may take a screenshot of your picture or message for the purposes of providing our Services, which may include sharing your picture on our Instagram.

 

Contact Customer Service

If you contact us with a question, comment or complaint, you may be asked for information that identifies you (such as your name or email address) along with additional information we need to help us confirm your identity (if necessary), and to promptly answer your question or respond to your comment or complaint. We may also retain this information to assist you in the future and to improve our customer service and service offerings.

 

2. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

We process personal information per applicable law and with transparency and fairness. We rely on the following legal bases:

 

  • To send promotional messages about our Services, processing is based on your consent where required (Art. 6(1)(1) GDPR).
  • To provide our Services to you and process customer inquiries and requests, processing is necessary to establish and fulfill a contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

3. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We disclose your personal information in the following instances and to the following parties:

 

Partners and Affiliates

 We may share your personal information with organizations to which you donate, as well as affiliated organizations and other entities working on their behalf. For example, if CrowdChange is the host of a website operated by a third party ("partner") we will share your personal information with this partner. With your consent where required, these partners and affiliates may use your personal information for their direct marketing purposes.

 

Please note that the organizations to which you donate may download a copy of your personal information for their own databases. You will need to contact the organization directly if you wish to have your personal information removed from their database.

 

Service Providers

 We may transfer (or otherwise make available) your personal information to our affiliates, partners and other third parties who provide services on our behalf. We use service providers to host our servers, send communications on our behalf, and process transactions.

Our service providers are given the information they need to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose personal information for their own purposes.

 

Sale of Business

 We may transfer any information we have about you as an asset in connection with a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving all or part of our operations or as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other

change in corporate control.

 

Legal

 CrowdChange, our affiliates and related companies and our Canadian, US and other service providers may provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required by applicable Canadian, U.S. or other law. We may also disclose personal information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or as otherwise permitted by law.

 

4. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN

Our Services are not intended for use by and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13, or 16 in the European Union (“EU”). If we discover that we have such information in our possession, we will destroy it.


5. SECURITY

We have implemented administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information in our custody and control against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure.

 

That said, no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using our Services, providing access to our Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of our Services. We may post a notice through our Services if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

 

6. THIRD PARTY LINKS

Our Services may contain links to other sites that CrowdChange does not own or operate. We provide event organizers with the ability to have links to third party websites as a convenience to the user. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy statements, notices and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully. We do not have any control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat your personal information.

Please note that if you reject certain cookies, you may still use our Services, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Services may be limited.

 

8. OPTING OUT

You may decline to receive promotional emails, text messages or mail from us at the time of registration or at the time you otherwise provide the information to us.

 13. NOTE ABOUT PUBLIC POSTING AREAS

Please note that any information you include in a message you post to any public posting area is available to anyone with Internet access. If you do not want people to know your email address, for example, do not include it in any message you post publicly.

14. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

If you choose to provide us with information, we may transfer that information to our affiliates and subsidiaries or to other third parties, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are visiting from the EU or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from US law, please note that you are transferring your personal information to the United States and other jurisdictions which may not have the same data protection laws as the EU. We take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers are undertaken in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. You acknowledge you understand that by providing your personal information:

  • Your personal information will be used for the uses identified above in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and
  • Your personal information may be transferred to the United States and other jurisdictions as indicated above.
