Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1st, 2020

The Romanian United Fund (RUF) recognizes the importance of privacy to visitors of our website. To learn more about what type of information is collected from you when you visit our website and how that information may be used, please read the following privacy policy.

Gathering of Information

RomanianUnitedFund.org collects personally-identifying information (such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone number, and/or credit card information) only if you choose to provide us with that information.

Like all other web servers, the RomanianUnitedFund.org server automatically creates log files for everyone who visits our site. These access logs allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors. The access logs do NOT record visitors' name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or any other personally-identifying information. They do contain information such as:

The Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) of the machine which accessed our website
The date of the visit
The time of the visit
The path taken through our website
The browser being used
A list of files downloaded or viewed
Any errors encountered

Our website uses various technical methods and tools to collect, store, and track information, including the number of people who visit our site and how they utilize our website. The tools we use may personally identify individuals by their name, e-mail address, or any other personal attribute.

RUF may run what is known as remarketing advertisemet targeting users who have previously visited this web site or another site operated by us. This practice is consistent with allowed remarketing from Google (typically using AdWords) and other providers of online remarketing and retargeting services.

Do Not Track ("DNT"). The Romanian United Fund assumes no responsibility for responding to "Do Not Track" web browser signals.

Content Uploaded to Site

RomanianUnitedFund.org contains certain interactive features that enable website visitors to post content on the site (e.g., blog comments and article reviews). Any information that you post, or otherwise choose to make publicly available, may be disclosed and available to all users who visit the website and is no longer private. Please be thoughtful about what you post and make publicly available through the use of our interactive features.

Use of Information

RUF uses such non-identifying aggregate information to analyze how visitors use RomanianUnitedFund.org so we can improve our design and your experience. We share this information with third parties in aggregate form only as appropriate. For example, we may tell a third party that a certain number of users accessed a particular part of our website. However, we will not disclose any information that could be used to identify those users.

The use of personally-identifying information is limited to the following: responding to user e-mails; fulfillment of RomanianUnitedFund.org pledges and payments; event registrations; contest management; editorial purposes such as contacting users for an online survey; sending communications to users who have opted to receive such communications; and other purposes specified at the time the information is gathered.

RUF may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or if it believes that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process, (b) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the RomanianUnitedFund.org website, or (c) protect the personal safety or property of RomanianUnitedFund.org website users, the public or RomanianUnitedFund.org and its employees.

Security

RUF has in place what we believe to be appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Corrections to Personal Data; Opting Out

Please contact us to (a) correct or update any personal information in the RomanianUnitedFund.org database that might be erroneous, (b) opt-out of future communications from RUF, or (c) request RomanianUnitedFund.org to make reasonable efforts to remove your personal information from the RomanianUnitedFund.org online databases. The user understands that it may be impossible to delete personal information entirely because of backups and records of deletions.

Children and Minors

RomanianUnitedFund.org includes educational material for children under 13. No personally identifiable information is collected from them unless it is voluntarily submitted as a request for information or services. The information collected is used to respond to user inquiries or to provide services requested by our users.

It is important to note that the RomanianUnitedFund.org website contains links to other sites that may not follow the same privacy policies as the RomanianUnitedFund.org website. These sites may use cookies, collect data and use the data in ways that RomanianUnitedFund.org.org would not. RomanianUnitedFund.org is not responsible for the privacy practices or any information or materials on these other sites. Please visit these sites if you wish to review their privacy policies.
