PRIVACY POLICY

OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

Disabled Veterans National Foundation (“DVNF”) respects the privacy of every individual (“the donor” or “you”) who visits www.dvnf.org (the “website”). This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains our online and offline information and privacy practices. Donors are not required to register or to provide any personal information in order to access information on our website. For security of transactions, we use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client, which encrypts any personal information you enter into registration forms on our website. The encryption process protects your information, by scrambling it before it is sent to us from your computer.

ACCEPTANCE OF PRIVACY POLICY

By using or visiting www.dvnf.org, you accept and agree to the practices described by this Policy. If you do not accept and agree to the practices described in this Policy, please do not use or visit the website.

THE INFORMATION DVNF COLLECTS

DVNF may collect and store donors’ information, whether obtained online or from direct mail, and share this information with partners and third parties. This includes donors’ names, mailing addresses, and e-mail addresses.

DVNF also collects aggregate information such as the pages donors access, and information volunteered by donors, such as survey information and/or website registrations. For each donor that visits our website, our web server recognizes only the donor’s domain name, but not the e-mail address.

THE INFORMATION DVNF USES

DVNF collects information to better understand general website usage patterns, improve website usability, improve the content of our website, and add merchants and services which will better serve our donors’ needs and interests. DVNF may use information provided by donors to send updated information on our programs and develop promotions based on general donor preferences.

Donors who provide their mailing address on the website may receive periodic mailings from DVNF with information on products and services or upcoming events.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

DVNF is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and encourages parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. DVNF’s website is not intended for and may not be used by children under the age of 14. DVNF does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 14 and does not target its websites or service to children under the age of 14.

THIRD-PARTY AFFILIATES

When a donor shops or visits one of our partners’ websites, even if the donor came from a link on DVNF’s website, the donor is interacting directly with that partner organization and not DVNF. DVNF encourages donors to review the privacy policies of all partner organizations to determine how they use and collect donor information.

DVNF regularly reviews its privacy practices for its various activities, and updates its policy. Please check this website on an on-going basis for information on our most up-to-date practices.
