PRIVACY POLICY

Future Foundation, Inc. is committed to protecting the safety and privacy of our websites (located at www.future-foundation.com and www.realtalkatl.org) for our users. We therefore do not require you to provide any personally identifiable information in order to use most of the sections and features of our websites. In turn, we ask that you do your part to protect your privacy by reading and abiding by this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, and all privacy-related notices posted on our websites. This Privacy Policy will govern our treatment of any of your personal information collected through our websites and when you contact us in connection with your use of our websites.

Personally Identifiable Information

In order to gain access to certain areas of our websites or to use certain features, you may choose to provide personally identifiable information, which may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number or financial information. If you do submit personally identifiable information to us, we will use that information for the purposes for which it was submitted. We may also use your information in other ways, such as to contact you about Future Foundation-related activities and/or fundraising campaigns or as otherwise disclosed to you at the point of collection, and we may share your information with other like-minded organizations for similar purposes.

For example:

• You may choose to use our “make a donation feature” available on our Future Foundation website. This feature is only intended for use by individuals over the age of 18. If you choose to make a donation to the Future Foundation, you will be required to provide your name, billing address, email address and credit card information. We will use this information to process payment for your donation and, if you elect, we will add your email address to our mailing list so that you can learn more about the Future Foundation.
• You may choose to use our “submit a question,” “submit a story” or “submit a comment” features which are available on our Real Talk ATL website. If you choose to use one of these features, you will be required to submit your name and email address to us; however, we will use this information only to communicate directly with you regarding your submission and will not post your name, email address or any of your other personally identifiable information on our website in connection with your submitted question, story or comment. By submitting your question, story or comment to us, you give us permission to receive it, review it, edit it, store it, post it on our websites, and use it in appropriate settings designed to illustrate the importance of abstinence. To protect your privacy, when using the “submit a question,” “submit a story” or “submit a comment” features, please do not include any personally identifiable information in your submitted question, story or comment.
• You may choose to provide your personally identifiable information to us when you contact us (for example, about volunteer opportunities, corporate sponsorships, or upcoming events). If you choose to do so, we will only use the information you provide to us to respond to your correspondence. You should be aware that we use third party vendors to provide services on our websites and in our offline business operations. The information that you submit on our websites may be provided to those vendors on a confidential basis so that those vendors can provide services (such as sending e-mail messages to supporters, facilitating our fundraising activities and campaigns, or processing credit card transactions) on our behalf. We will not disclose or sell your personally identifiable information other than (a) as described in this Privacy Policy, (b) as may be necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of our organization, our clients, or others, or (c) as may be necessary to comply with applicable law. WE ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SHARE THE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE WITH YOUR PARENTS AND/OR LEGAL AUTHORITIES IF IT IS, IN OUR SOLE OPINION, NECESSARY TO INVESTIGATE, PREVENT, OR TAKE ACTION REGARDING SUSPECTED FRAUD, SITUATIONS INVOLVING THREATS OR POTENTIAL HARM, OR IF REQUIRED BY LAW (SUCH AS BY A SUBPOENA, COURT ORDER, OR OTHER LEGAL MEANS).

Accuracy of Submitted Information

You represent and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge, all information submitted to us by you is truthful and accurate (except for stories identified as fictional). When providing information to Future Foundation, you should only provide information regarding yourself; however, if you submit any information of any third party through our websites or in connection with your use of our websites, including any third party email addresses, you represent and warrant you have the necessary approvals and permissions to provide that information to us and for us to use and disclose that information as requested by you and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Web beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites. Cookies, web beacons and related technologies may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to another party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf.

In order to learn about where visitors to our websites come from and how they interact with our websites, we use third party analytics tools. The third parties providing those analytics tools may retain and use, subject to the terms of the third party’s privacy policy, anonymous traffic data collected in our use of those analytics tools.

We may aggregate and use certain automatically collected information and non-personally identifiable information for our own research and marketing purposes. In addition, we may share, sell, rent, trade or publish that aggregate information, and statistical data derived from such information, with our marketing partners, advertisers or other third parties for their research and marketing purposes.

Security

As your financial information is collected and transferred over the Internet to our secure server, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, the industry standard security technology that is designed to protect sensitive information. Our donation pages display the secured by GeoTrust seal to assure you that our website is authentic and that all financial transactions are secured by SSL encryption. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is fully secure. Although we do our best to protect your privacy on our websites, we need your cooperation. You have control over your own privacy. Think carefully before providing any personal or financial information online. We employ various reasonable measures and procedures to help protect the security of personally identifiable information that we collect online. However, as no measures or procedures are completely effective against unauthorized access, use or disclosure of information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you provide to us. If you are concerned because your communication is sensitive, do not send it electronically. Also, when you contact us or send us submissions, if you desire to remain anonymous, you should not tell us your name, the names of your friends, or of other website users. To fully protect your privacy, you should try not to include any information that you think may identify you or others in communications with us or in your submissions.
