The Asian American Donor Program® (referred to for the purposes of this Online Privacy Statement is “AADP”) is committed to respecting your privacy. The AADP websites (www.AADP.org referred to here as the “website”) have been structured so you can visit it without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. If you choose to provide AADP with personally identifiable information (any information by which you can be identified), you can be assured it will be used only to support your relationship with the AADP.
This statement regarding the privacy of the information you provide online covers seven main areas:
Awareness
Web Statistics:
As you browse through this website, the AADP collects some non-personally identifiable data, such as:
- The type of browser used to access the site
- The date and time of your visit
- The pages you visited
- The address of the website that referred you if you clicked a link to get to this site
The AADP collects this information for statistical purposes and for evaluating this website to make it more useful to visitors.
If you have signed up to receive information by e-mail from the Asian American Donor Program, the e-mail may contain a “click-through” URL. When you click one of these URLs, you pass through our Web server before arriving at the Web page that is your destination. We track click-throughs to help us determine your interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications.
Personal Information
This website collects personally identifiable information only if you voluntarily submit it. On some pages, choose to provide an online contribution, order materials, answer health questions or submit other requests. The personal information collected on these pages is your name and contact information. In some cases, you may submit additional information as needed to complete your request.
If you register online for the Be The Match Registry®, they require that you provide certain personally identifiable information including your name, health information, address, phone number and, if you make a financial contribution or pay to cover the cost of your tissue typing, a credit card number. They need this information to process your registration or contribution and to contact you in connection with that registration or contribution. You may also be asked to provide additional health and contact information online if you are identified as a possible match for a
patient.
If you choose to make an online financial contribution to Asian American Donor Program, those transactions are handled by PayStand, an Internet software and services company that provides online constituent relationship management solutions for nonprofit organizations. All information collected by PayStand is encrypted and transactions are conducted through a secure socket layer (SSL). PayStand will not disclose your name or any other personally identifiable information (such as your e-mail address) to any party other than the Asian American Donor Program. Neither AADP nor PayStand store sensitive information such as credit card numbers. If you provide credit card information to make a financial contribution, that information is used solely for the purpose of completing that specific transaction and is not retained by AADP or PayStand.
Cookies
We use persistent cookies. A cookie is a small text file that contains no personally identifying information and that is placed into the memory of your browser. If the lifetime of the cookie extends beyond the time you spend at the site, the file is saved for future reference and is a “persistent cookie.”
Persistent cookies allow us to include capabilities that provide a better user experience, make the website easier to navigate, and allow us to gather accurate information about the site so we can determine:
- How many visitors arrive
- How many are new versus repeat visitors
- How often a visitor has visited
We also may use cookies for “retargeting” in our internet advertising campaigns so that third party vendors such as Google can show you advertising about AADP as you browse the internet. Retargeting is a marketing aid that identifies you as a previous visitor to the AADP website and targets you for specific outreach messages, encouraging you to revisit our website or consider donating. Again, the cookies contain only non-personal information (you will be anonymous).
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can usually set your browser to refuse cookies or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. You can also opt out of receiving cookies used for Google advertising by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page.
How We Use It
When you choose to submit personally identifiable information (PII) to the AADP, we use your information only for the purposes for which you submitted the information, Learn more at ‘Who we share it with.’
Other Requests
When you submit other requests, such as materials requests, the AADP uses your name and contact information for the sole purpose of completing your request. If you request materials, your name and contact information are kept in a limited-access database and are not sold or given to any other organization outside of the AADP.
Who We Share It With
The AADP will not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to others.
Unless we have your permission or are required by law, any personal data you provide us online will be shared only with other AADP entities and/or business partners who are acting on our behalf to complete the activities described above. Such AADP entities and/or business partners, including those located in other countries, are required by agreement to protect the privacy of your personally identifiable information as set out in this Privacy Statement.
Choice
The AADP will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without letting you know beforehand and offering you the opportunity to withhold your consent for AADP to use your information in this way.
Security
The AADP is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. This includes the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information you submit to keep it secure during transmission.
