PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is of great importance at Community Friendship, Inc. (“CFI” or “we” or “us”). As a visitor or user of our website (the “Site”), you are valued by us. We will seek to take appropriate measures to protect your data including personally identifiable information (collectively, “Personal Information”) collected from you on the Site. Some of the ways we may collect Personal Information as further described below include service referrals, volunteer opportunities, and ways to donate or support us (collectively, the “Services”).
What Information Does CFI Collect About Site Visitors?
CFI collects information about visitors to the Site. The Site collects information such as (i) how many visitors each month, (ii) what the search engine visitors use to view the Site, (iii) what device visitors use to look at the Site, (iv) what browsers visitors use to look at the Site, and (v) what operating systems are used to look at the Site. This information is used internally to confirm that the Site is properly and efficiently working.
What Information Does CFI Collect About Users of the Site?
At the Site, we do not collect Personal Information from you unless you provide this information to us voluntarily and knowingly. Users of the Site may complete the various forms outlined below for use or support of CFI’s services. When users voluntarily fill out the forms below, they may provide CFI Personal Information, such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses, credit card details, or mental health medical information.
Volunteer Form: If you would like to volunteer at CFI, then we may ask you to complete a volunteer form that can be found on our Site. In the volunteer form, we ask for your name, email address, phone, street address, and any technical skills so that we may contact you for a volunteer opportunity that best fits your skill set. We will store this information in our database for your current request and future volunteer opportunities.
Service Referral Form: You may be interested in exploring CFI services for your use or that of a family member or friend. For us to better evaluate this potential referral, and whether our services would be a good fit for this referral, we may ask that you complete the service referral form on our Site or you may download the form separately and send us a completed form via email or U.S. post office mail. This form asks you to provide information about yourself or the person you are referring which may include: name, date of birth, social security number, telephone, employment (if any), income (if any), and some available mental health information. We will also store this information in our database for the provision of our Services.
Ways to Give/Donations: If you choose to donate through the Site, we may collect more information about you depending on how you choose to donate. You may donate funds via mail, or electronically. If you donate electronically, then you will be provided a link to a third-party site (powered, at this time, by Paypal). Paypal will then request your credit card number, bank account information or other details. Paypal will process your donation. Paypal provides its own data privacy and security policies on its website. Please read and review these documents to better understand how Paypal may use and share your Personal Information.
Contact Us: You may choose to contact us by selecting the “Contact Us” tab. When you click that tab, we ask for your name and email address so that we may be able to contact you. We will hold that information in our database so we can contact you upon your request or at some point in the future.
If you want to stop receiving email from us, simply hit reply and type “unsubscribe” in the subject field or contact us by email at info@communityfriendship.org.
Does CFI Share the Information It Receives?
We are not in the business of selling information about our Site users. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you and we treat it with care and respect. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your data with certain third parties. We will share Personal Information with third parties when (i) the person submitting the information authorizes us to share it, (ii) the third-party is performing a function on behalf of us that is directly related to the operation of the Site or to a service or information provided on the Site, or (iii) we are required to by law to do so.
How Do I Access to Information About Me?
If you desire to review your own Personal Information, to correct existing information, or to remove your information, please contact us via email at info@communityfriendship.org. If you request removal of your Personal Information, you acknowledge that some information may continue to reside in our records and archives, but we will not use that information for commercial purposes. We reserve the right to maintain your Personal Information if we have suspended, limited, or terminated your access to our Site for violating our Terms of Use.
What Choices Do I Have?
As outlined in this Privacy Policy, you can always choose not to provide information; however, doing so may prevent you from using our services, donating or accessing other valuable features at our Site.
Are There Links to Third Party Sites?
You may be able to access third-party websites through links available on the Site. For example, a separate third party, Paypal, collects donations through a Site link for CFI. You understand and agree that your use of such third-party sites will be governed by the privacy policies of those sites and not by this Privacy Policy. THIS PRIVACY POILCY ONLY ADDRESSES THE USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION COLLECTED BY US, NOT THE THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE. We will not be responsible for the actions or policies of these independent third-party websites and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.
Is Data Collected by Children (Under the Age of 13 Years)?
We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide information on this Site without their permission.

If you choose to visit the Site, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy. If you have a concern about privacy at the Site, please send an email with a detailed description of your concern to info@communityfriendship.org. Our activities and Site may change. This Privacy Policy may also be revised to reflect that change.
