Privacy Policy

The Website Privacy Policy and Donor Privacy Policy applicable to the Family Promise of Greater Indianapolis, Inc. (the “organization” or “FPGI”) websites are provided below. If you object to any of the terms of the Website Privacy Policy or the Donor Privacy Policy, please do not use the FPGI websites.

  • The Website Privacy Policy governs all interactions and communications made by visitors to the organization’s website, except where superseded by the Donor Privacy Policy.

  • The Donor Privacy Policy governs all interactions and communications made through the organization’s website in the process of making a donation through the organization’s website as well as all donations made through offline means. 

 

Website Privacy Policy
The following Privacy Policy applies to information collected at www.fpgi.org and FP-affiliated websites featuring this Privacy Policy.

 

Information Collected
For each visitor to this website, our web servers may automatically recognize and collect non-personally-identifiable information, such as in-bound domain names, your computer’s IP address, the type of browser in use and pages viewed. This data tells us which pages our users visit and what information they volunteer, such as survey information and/or site registrations.

 

We only collect personally-identifiable information about you when you voluntarily submit such information to us, for example by signing up for the FPGI newsletter, by making a donation or by submitting information through our “Contact Us” webpage. Depending on the service you choose and the reason you are contacting us, the personally-identifiable information collected includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, address, phone number, payment details, organizational affiliation and similar or related information (“Personal Information”).

 

Use of Information
Any Personal Information we collect is used only for internal review, to improve our web content, to optimize your web experience and, in some cases, to customize the content and/or layout of select pages.

We will only use Personal Information you provide to us (and disclose it to third parties) for the purpose for which it was provided, for example:

  • to periodically alert you to FPGI news and events;

  • to respond to inquiries;

  • to process donations and purchases;

  • to provide you with and improve our services to you;

  • to facilitate contact between you and our local affiliates at your request; and

  • in the course of fundraising activities.

 

We do not share your Personal Information with any third parties without your consent, except under the following circumstances:

  • as set forth above;

  • in response to a subpoena or when we are required to do so by applicable laws or regulations, for example, in response to a court order or other legal obligation;

  • in response to a law enforcement agency’s request;

  • to protect the security or confidentiality of our records;

  • in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to prevent actual or potential fraud or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with our rights;

  • in the event FPGI goes through a reorganization (e.g., a merger into another organization), in which case you will be notified via a prominent notice on the website of any such transfer of your Personal Information;

  • we may engage third parties which are other companies and/or individuals (agents or vendors) to perform functions on our behalf.  Examples may include providing technical assistance, mailing services, donation and purchase processing, and customer service.  These third parties will have access to Personal Information and other information only as necessary to perform their functions and to the extent permitted by law; and

  • we may share aggregated demographic information with our affiliates and other third parties. This is not linked to any Personal Information that can identify any individual person.

 

Use of Cookies
As of the date of this policy, we do not use cookies to store or collect any Personal Information. We will update this policy in the future, in the event that we may use cookies to record past activity on our website in an effort to provide better and faster service upon your return visits to this website and/or also customize certain web content based on your browser type, bandwidth or other settings to optimize your site experience.

There may be “plug-ins” (i.e., third party software components) in the software on our website or our platform that do use cookies. Additionally, we may directly or through third party tracking software or services, collect browser information for their reporting, but not sensitive, personally identifying data, only aggregated data.

Such third party software and services, and our third party vendors may share the information collected with third party advertising networks. This is also non-personally-identifiable information such as the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, IP addresses, links to/from any page and time spent at the site.

The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Remember, though, without cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our website features.
