Privacy Statement
Podumentary is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the Podumentary website and governs data collection and usage. By using the Podumentary website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
Podumentary collects personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. Podumentary also collects anonymous demographic information, that is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Podumentary. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used by Podumentary for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of Podumentary's website.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Podumentary public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Podumentary does not read any of your private online communications.
Podumentary encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from Podumentary so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. Podumentary is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Podumentary and Podumentary family of websites.
Use of your Personal Information
Podumentary collects and uses your personal information to operate the Podumentary website and deliver the services you have requested. Podumentary may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Podumentary and its affiliate organizations. Podumentary may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
Podumentary does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. Podumentary may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external charitable partners about a particular opportunity that may align with your interests. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Podumentary may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Podumentary, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Podumentary does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
Podumentary keeps track of the pages our customers visit within the Podumentary website, to determine what areas of our work are the most relevant to site visitors and organization supporters. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Podumentary social channels to followers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
Podumentary websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Podumentary or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Podumentary; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Podumentary, or the public.
Use of Cookies
Podumentary website uses "cookies" to personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a webpage server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you register with the Podumentary site or services, a cookie helps Podumentary to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Ben Hogan Foundation webpage, the information you previously provided can be retrieved.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of Podumentary services or websites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Podumentary secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Podumentary secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Podumentary may occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect internal and supporter feedback. Podumentary encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Podumentary is protecting your information.
