Version 2.0 — February 2017

Your privacy is important to us at Everybody Helping. We want to be clear how we use your information, and the ways in which you can protect your privacy.

Our Privacy Policy explains:

• How we use that information and when we disclose it.
• How to access and update your information.
• The steps we take to protect your information.

This Privacy Policy applies to the information that we obtain through your use of Everybody Helping services, including our website (https://www.everybodyhelping.com), platforms, and web-based tools (collectively the “Services”). Please familiarize yourself with our policies, and if you have any questions contact us at legal@everybodyhelping.com. This policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Terms of Service Agreement (the “Terms”).

I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1. Information you provide to us

We collect the following information:

a. Account and Profile Information

We collect information about you, as an individual, and your organization, as a 501(c)(3) public nonprofit organization, company when you create an account, create or modify your profile, and make and receive donations through our Services. Information we collect, as an individual, can include your name, username, address, email address, phone number, and payment card details. Information we collect, as an organization, can include your organization name, username, address, email address, phone number, Federal EIN number, and bank account details. You provide this information directly through our Services.

b. Content

We collect and store content that you create, input, submit, post, upload, transmit, or store in the process of using our Services. Such content may include any personal or other sensitive information submitted using our Services, such as personal information, payment information, and other information such as regulatory compliance materials.

c. Other submissions

We collect other data that you may submit to our Services or us directly, such as when you request customer support or communicate with us via email or social media sites.

2. Information we collect from your use of our Services

a. Web Logs and Analytics Information

We record certain information and store it in log files when you interact with our Services. This information may include Internet protocol (IP) or other device addresses or ID numbers as well as browser type, Internet service provider, URLs of referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, information you search for, locale and language preferences, your mobile carrier, and system configuration information. We and our analytics providers also collect and store analytics information when you use our Services to help us improve our Services.

b. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We use various technologies to collect information, including cookies that we save to your computer or mobile device. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory. We use cookies to improve and customize our Services and your experience; to allow you to access and use the Services without re-entering your username or password; and to count visits and understand which areas and features of the Services are most popular. We may also associate the information we store in cookies with personal information you submit while on our Services. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all aspects of our Services.

c. Special Privacy & Security Provisions for Donors

Everybody Helping respects and protects your privacy and will never sell or rent your personal information to other individuals or companies. The information that you provide is used only to complete your donation. With your permission, your name and account information will be provided to the nonprofit organization(s) you support through Everybody Helping.

When you create an account with Everybody Helping you may choose to receive your donation records at tax time and occasional email updates on your favorite nonprofit organizations. If you do not wish to hear from us, simply update your contact settings, unsubscribe from any mailing, or contact us directly.

d. Special Note on Nonprofit Organizations

Each nonprofit organization has its own policies regarding privacy of donor information. Please contact the nonprofit organization(s) you support to directly to learn about their privacy policies. We will only pass on the information you provide us if you authorize us to do so.

e. Information Shared with Nonprofits You Support

When you make one-time or monthly donations via Everybody Helping products, we only share the information associated with your Everybody Helping account with the recipient nonprofit organization. Everybody Helping respects donor privacy and only shares information with donor consent.

f. Complying with Donor Advised Fund Regulations

Some donations through the Everybody Helping services are processed by The Everybody Helping Foundation (“EHF” or the “Foundation”), a Texas nonprofit corporation and donor advised fund, known as The Everybody Helping Fund (tax ID 81–4858492) (the “Fund”). The Everybody Helping Fund distributes these donations to the nonprofit organization that you, as an individual contributor to the Fund recommended. However, some donations made through the Everybody Helping Services are processed directly by the nonprofit of your choice and not by the Fund. When your donation is processed by the Fund, as required by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the Fund has exclusive legal control over the donations to our donor-advised fund. All donations are final and may not be refunded. In the rare event that a nonprofit organization you have recommended does not satisfy the Fund’s criteria for receiving donations (e.g., it has been classified by the IRS as a disqualified supporting organization, it cannot or does not accept donations, is not recognized by the IRS as a section 501(c)(3) public nonprofit organization, or is not in good standing with federal and state regulators), the Fund will select an alternate, similar nonprofit organization to receive your donations.

g. Sharing of Information to the Everybody Helping Fund

The Everybody Helping Foundation, and its donor advised fund, The Everybody Helping Fund, provides specific donation collection and distribution services to Everybody Helping in order to help you support the causes you love. From time to time, Everybody Helping may share your information with the Fund for the purpose of operating the donor advised fund into which your donations are deposited. The Fund has certain legal obligations that it is required to comply with and reserves the right to use and disclose certain donation data (such as the nonprofit’s name, address, and donation amount) for legal and regulatory purposes including reporting information to the IRS on its Form 990 relating to grants made from its Donor Advised Fund.

Under the Privacy Shield and Safe Harbor programs, any unresolved privacy complaints can be referred to an independent dispute resolution mechanism. We use the International Centre for Dispute Resolution®/American Arbitration Association®.

In some cases, you may be able to invoke binding arbitration.

Your continued use of our Services after the revised Policy has become effective indicates that you have read, understood, and agreed to the current version of this Policy.
