K. Children’s Data

​

Aid for Zion does not knowingly gather any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. You must be 13 years of age or older to access the site.

​

L. Data Retention

​

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

​

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

​

In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

​

M. Your Legal Rights

​

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

​

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

​

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

​

Limit processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, there may be overriding grounds which require us to process your information.

​

Request we provide your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

​

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any process carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you.

​

The above list provides a sample of Personal Donor Information that may be collected by Aid for Zion. From time to time, we may collect personal information from you in ways not described above.

​

B. Use and Disclosure of Personal Donor Information

​

· We only rent or exchange lists we maintain that may include your Personal Donor Information (excluding any payment or other similar secure data), collected on the website or through any other activities, with other third parties we believe engage in activities that are not inconsistent with the mission and core beliefs of Aid for Zion. You may opt out of having your Personal Donor Information shared by us by following the process described in our general Privacy Policy.

​

· We will not send you mailings on behalf of other organizations.

​

· We will collect payment information, billing address, and other information necessary to process a donation, volunteer registration, or event registration.

​

· We will use your information to comply with the law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the requirements of law or comply with legal process served on us.

​

· We will use Personal Donor Information to protect against potential fraud. We may verify with third parties the information collected in the course of processing a gift, event registration, or other donation. If you use a credit or debit card on the website, we may use card authorization and fraud screening services to verify that your card information and address matches the information that you supplied to us and that the card being used has not been reported lost or stolen.
