Information We Collect

Registration and Profile Information
In order to use this website, you must first complete the registration form and create a user name and password. During registration you are required to give contact information (such as name and email address) and profile information (such as a brief biography of yourself). You have the option to provide additional contact and profile information (such as your role, title, and company) to us. We encourage you to submit this information to better identify yourself to other members, more effectively connect and interact with other members, and so we can provide you with a more personalized experience on our website. Networking For Charity is the sole owner of the information collected on NetworkingForCharity.com. Networking For Charity collects personally identifiable information from our users at several different points on our website.

Surveys
From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys on our website. We may use the requested information to improve our service and personalize our website. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys.

Tell-A-Friend
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our website, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit our website. Networking For Charity stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program.

Your friend may contact us at CustomerCare@NetworkingForCharity.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

Log Files
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, as well as the name of your internet service provider (ISP). Due to the way the internet works, when you visit the Networking For Charity website we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave Networking For Charity. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends to help us improve the Networking For Charity service, and to administer this website.

Cookies
Like many other websites, Networking For Charity uses a standard technology called "cookies." A cookie is a small text file which resides on your computer which allows Networking For Charity to recognize you as a user when you return to our website using the same computer and web browser. Like your registration information, cookie data is used to customize your experience on our website. Cookies can help make your Networking For Charity user experience quicker and more convenient. Cookies also help us understand how members use Networking For Charity, which allows us to improve our service.

We use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session cookie expires when you close you browser. A persistent cookie, is set once you’ve logged in to your Networking For Charity account. The next time you visit the Networking For Charity web site, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing user so you will not need to enter your Username before using Networking For Charity (you will still need to enter your password). You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. Members who disable cookies will not be able to use Networking For Charity. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by NetworkingForCharity.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Web Beacons
We employ a software technology called Web Beacons, that help us better manage content on our website by informing us what content is effective. Web Beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Web Beacons are embedded invisibly on webpages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We tie the information gathered by Web Beacons to our customers’ personally identifiable information. We also use Web Beacons in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

Uses of Information

Networking For Charity helps our members reach and build goodwill with influential people, using a donation to that person's favorite charity as an incentive to meet. Your personally identifiable information, including information you provide at registration or in your profile section on this website, is used to help you describe yourself to other users, and to create a secure and personalized service for you on the Networking For Charity website.

Your basic profile information (for example name, title, company, city, and state) is displayed to all members of the Networking For Charity website so that they can determine whether they want to meet you. Other profile or contact information you provide (for example email address and telephone number) is displayed only to people with whom you give us permission to share your contact information. For example, your contact information is shared with people with whom you have agreed to meet or talk on the telephone, through our service. This helps both parties reach each other in order to schedule the meeting or telephone call between them. Please see the “How It Works” section of our website to learn more.

Communications From Networking For Charity
Networking For Charity may need to communicate with you via email, telephone, fax, postal mail, or other methods in the course of providing you services. You agree to receive these communications, which are specific to your account and necessary for the normal functioning of the Networking For Charity service. Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and password. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account. You also agree to have your name and/or email address listed in the header of certain communications which you initiate through the Networking For Charity Service.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Sharing Information With Third Parties

Networking for Charity is based in Needham, Massachusetts in the United States of America, and the Networking for Charity Services is intended for use solely by members who reside in the United States or in U.S. Territories. Privacy laws vary from country to country, and your own country’s privacy laws and regulations may be different than US law. If you are unsure whether this privacy statement is in conflict with applicable local rules, you should not submit your information. If you are located within the European Union, you should note that your information will be transferred to the United States, which is deemed by the European Union to have inadequate data protection.

Communications Between Users
Your basic profile information (for example name, title, company, city, and state) is displayed to all members of the Networking For Charity website so that they can determine whether they want to meet you. Other profile or contact information members provide (for example email address and telephone number) is displayed only to people with whom you give us permission to share your contact information. Your contact information will only be shared with another member if both of you have indicated that you would like to establish contact with each other. For example, your contact information is shared with people with whom you have agreed to meet or talk on the telephone, through our service. This helps both parties reach each other in order to schedule the meeting or telephone call between them.
