Privacy Policy
(Effective: January 1, 2010)
The Ryan and Jenny Dempster Family Foundation recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of our donors and those who reach out to our Foundation or visit our website. This policy outlines our practices for protecting the information provided to the Foundation through our website or other means.
We may collect information that you provide, such as personal contact information, or technical information about your use of our site, to respond to your requests, or process your inquiries or donations. We may also use the information you provide to us, such as email or mailing address, to communicate with you. We may contact you to respond to your questions, comments or other communications, or for administrative purposes such as when you participate in a contest or to process a grant application. To stop receiving communications from us, just follow the opt out instructions at the bottom of our emails and we will remove you from our mailing list.
We also collect technical information about your visit to our website. For example, when you visit our site we automatically log your IP address, your browser type and your access times. We use this information to assess and improve the functionality and features of our site.
Cookies
A “cookie” is a small piece of information sent from a web server to a browser to be read back later by the application. No personal information is collected. Cookies help us remember your preferences and collect technical information about your use of our website. You can configure your browser to alert you when a website is attempting to send a cookie to your computer and allow you to accept or refuse the cookie. However, deletion of cookies may affect the functionality of some features on our website.
Sharing Information
The Dempster Family Foundation recognizes your right to privacy, whether you are a donor, connect with others whose lives are affected by 22q, or simply a visitor. We do not sell donor or visitor information. If you donate to our Foundation, we will not provide account or other personal information to non-affiliated third parties for the purpose of independent telemarketing or direct mail marketing of any products or services.
We may share information with third parties contracted to provide services on our behalf who may only use that information as necessary to provide those services. We may also share information as required to comply with law and regulation, or to comply with court orders, subpoenas or lawful discovery requests.
Links To Other Sites
This Web site contains links to other websites. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you may be leaving the Dempster Family Foundation site and entering another website. These sites may independently collect or request information about you and we encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites as their privacy policies may differ from ours.
Reaching Out
The Ryan and Jenny Dempster Family Foundation provides a resource for families with children with 22q11.2 deletion (DiGeorge Syndrome/VCFS) to help them deal with difficult situations they face each day. The Dempster Family Foundation does not offer health or medical services. Nothing on our website is a substitute for medical, psychological or other professional advice, diagnosis or treatment of any condition or problem. Consult a health care provider or other appropriate professional for any medical or health questions you may have. Rather, the Dempster Family Foundation and our website provide a place for people to reach out, in person and through the power of the Internet, to others who share similar experiences. Additionally, some of the links to other sites on the Dempster Family Foundation site include the Ryan and Jenny Dempster Family Foundation Facebook page, the Dempster Family Foundation’s Youtube Channel, and the Dempster Family Foundation’s photostream on Flickr. Please remember that all site user profiles, user-submitted content, and chat and message board content on our site or on any affiliated site are created by our users, and not by the Dempster Family Foundation, and they do not necessarily reflect the views of Dempster Family Foundation. Moreover, you should remember to exercise discretion whenever sharing personal or medical information on the internet.
Security
The Dempster Family Foundation safeguards visitor and donor information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to prevent the unauthorized access to your personal information. For example, all employees must learn and obey our security policies, access to personal information is limited to those who need access to perform their duties, and we use encryption for credit card processing.
Although we strive to keep your personal information secure, no security measures are absolute, so you should exercise caution when transferring sensitive information over the internet. In the event of a security breach that compromises your personal information, we will make reasonable attempts to notify you as required by law.
Children
The Dempster Family Foundation’s website is not designed to attract children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children on our website.
Transfer of Data Abroad
If you are visiting this Site from a country other than the countries in which our servers are located (currently the United States), the various communications will necessarily result in the transfer of information across international boundaries. By visiting this Site and communicating electronically with us, you consent to the processing and transfer of your data as set out in this privacy policy in the United States subject to the laws of the United States.
Changes to our Privacy Practices
We reserve the right to update this privacy policy as necessary to reflect any changes we make and to satisfy legal requirements. If changes are made to our privacy policy, we will repost the new policy here and revise the policy’s date. Please periodically check back for changes to this privacy policy.
