Your personal information is stored on secure networks and is accessible only to a limited number of persons with special access rights to those systems. These individuals must keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

All transactions are processed through a gateway provider, and your credit card or other payment information is not stored or processed on our servers.

You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by emailing us.

Do we use ‘cookies’?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enable the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us compile aggregate data on site traffic and interactions so we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We use cookies to:

• Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. 

• We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

Your computer may warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser's settings (like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer). Each browser is a little different, so check your browser’s Help menu to learn the correct way to manage your cookies.

If you disable cookies, no site features will be affected.

Third Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe such disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.

Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be shared with third parties for marketing, advertising, or other purposes.

Google

We have implemented the following:

• Google Display Network Impression Reporting

• Demographics and Interests Reporting

We, along with third-party vendors such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie), as well as other third-party identifiers, to compile data on user interactions related to our advertising elsewhere online and on our website. We do not display third-party advertising on our website, via Google AdSense or otherwise.

Opting out:

Users can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or permanently using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add-on.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

• Users can visit our site anonymously.

• Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page, or at a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.

• Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy ’ and can be easily found on the page specified above.

• Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page

Users are able to change their personal information:

By emailing us at teafund@teafund.org

How does our site handle do not track’ signals?

We honor ‘do not track’ signals, and we do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under 13.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States, and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices, we will take the following actions, should a data breach occur:

• We notify the users via email within 3 business days.

• We will notify the users by updating our site with that information within 1 business day.

• We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have the right to pursue legally enforceable remedies against data collectors and processors who fail to comply with the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can

Email us at teafund@teafund.org, and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
