Privacy Policy

Last updated January 21, 2021

Girl Rising 501(c)(3) (“Girl Rising”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy, and we are committed to protecting your information.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information related to you.

GLOBAL INTERNET PRIVACY POLICY

It is our policy commitment to be transparent about our practices. This commitment reflects the value we place on earning and keeping the trust of our activists, users, viewers, employees, nonprofit and business partners and others who share their personal information with us.

This Global Internet Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how we collect, use, share, process and store information when you access the websites, or other online services that we own or operate and that link to this Policy (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy also describes how you can contact us with any questions about our information practices or to access or request changes to your information.

As used in this Policy, the term “personal information” means information that directly identifies you personally, such as first and last name, address, telephone number, email address, etc.; that may be uniquely associated with you, such as a government identification number, payment card information, financial or insurance account numbers, etc.; or that may be combined with other reasonably available information to identify you personally. As used in this Policy, the term “aggregate information” means information that has been anonymized or that otherwise does not identify individuals and is not linked to individuals, such as statistical information about age, gender, frequency of visits to the Services, parts of the Services most frequently accessed, browser type, etc. Aggregate information is processed and analyzed on a collective basis and will not be linked to the identity of any individual person.

Please review this Policy carefully to understand our practices, and how we collect and use your information. If you do not agree with our information practices, please do not use the Services. Each time you use the Services, the current version of the Policy will apply.

How Information is Used. Girl Rising uses data to maintain records of donations, send acknowledgements, mail year-end tax statements to you, send newsletters, notices and direct mail pieces. We add you to our mailing list if you request to be added. Our third-party mailing service is contractually obligated to treat the lists with confidentiality and is prohibited from transferring them elsewhere. We do NOT list individuals’ names in ANY of our publications.
