The third-party services covered by this section do not include links to third-party websites found on the Website, which are governed by the section of this Privacy Policy (“When this Privacy Policy Applies”) dealing with links to other websites.

When this Privacy Policy Applies

Our Privacy Policy applies to the Website. It does not apply to other websites or services that have separate privacy policies that do not incorporate this Privacy Policy. The Website may contain links to other websites or direct you to other websites when you use certain functionality on the Website, like making a financial donation. However, once you have used these links and/or been redirected to leave our Website, we do not have control over the other websites you visit and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting such websites. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to other linked websites.

Controlling Your Personal Information

People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect and what we do with it so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used. If you choose, you may restrict our collection or use of your information through the Website in the following ways:

Do not submit information through the Website.
Do not visit third-party websites through the Website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.
Do not send us e-mails.

Children’s Privacy

This Website contains information about The Ryan Home Project’s operations and fundraising events. We do not intend to gather personal information online from or about children. We encourage all children and teens to seek consent from their parents before providing any information about themselves, their families, or their homes to anyone on the Internet.

Please also see our TERMS OF USE, which sets forth the terms of use, disclaimers, and limitations of liability governing the use of the Website.

Do Not Track Disclosure

We support Do Not Track. Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked.

You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

Security

The security of your information is important to us, and we strive to implement and maintain reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we store, in order to protect it from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.

While we strive to protect the information you provide to us, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via email since we have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us since email does not have the security features that are built into our Website.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page. You should check this page from time to time to make sure you are okay with any changes that we make. If we make significant changes to our privacy practices we will provide a more prominent notice of changes to this policy. This privacy policy is effective as of December 9, 2022.
