About Us » Privacy Policy

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the North Coast (BBBSNC) respects your concerns about privacy and value the trust you have placed in us. This Privacy Notice describes the types of personal information we collect, how we may use that information, and with whom we may share it. [Our Privacy Notice also describes the measures we take to protect the security of the information.] In addition, we describe the choices you can make about how we use the information you provide to us. We tell you how you can update your contact information, remove your name from our mailing list, or answer any questions you may have about our privacy practices.

What types of information does BBBSNC collect and use about me and how does BBBSNC use the information?
 
We collect and use information about you to communicate with you about our programs and events. We also collect information to improve your website experience, enroll Bigs and Littles, and enable you to make donations to BBBS. Here are the ways we obtain information about you and the types of information we obtain. We also tell you how we use the information.
 
Register for Our Newsletter. When you ask us to send you our newsletter, you provide us with your email address so we can fulfill your request.
 
Contact Us Link. If you contact us via our website, we may ask you for information such as your name, address and email address so we can respond to your questions or comments. Unless you consent, we do not retain this information except to respond to your inquiries.
 
Website. We collect information on our website using transient cookies, sometimes called session cookies. A transient cookie is a small file that contains information about a user.   Unlike a persistent cookie, a transient cookie is not stored on the user's hard drive; it is stored only in temporary memory that is erased when the web browser is closed. We use transient cookies to determine, for example, how you use our website so we can improve the design of our site. Transient cookies are not linked to any personally identifiable information about you.
 
Enrollment. When you enroll online to become a Big or Little, you give us your name, email address, phone number, and other personal information. If you are under 13 years old, we ask you to have your parent or guardian enroll you, or you may call our office directly.
 
Donations. You also give us contact information and credit card or checking information so we can process your donation. We use this information only for that purpose.
 
Other Ways We May Use Information to Provide Services. You may provide us with survey information to help us learn more about your preferences. We maintain information you provide to us in our database to provide you with the information or services you have requested.
 
Does BBBSNC share the information it obtains about me with third parties?
BBBSNC does not share personal information about you with any third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do share this information with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf, but these service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.
 
How does BBBSNC protect personal information?
The security of personal information is a high priority for us. We maintain online safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration and destruction of the personal information in our possession. To protect the security of your credit card information, we use the industry standard for Internet security -- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This Internet encryption standard scrambles data as it travels from your computer to our server. You'll know that you're in a secure area of our website when the "http" portion of the BBBS website address in your browser changes to "https." The "s" stands for "secure."
 
How does BBBSNC update its Privacy Notice?
BBBSNC's services and programs will change over time. This Privacy Notice will be updated periodically to reflect those changes and corresponding changes in our information practices. Whenever we revise this Privacy Notice, we will change the date on the notice to indicate when the revisions were made. We reserve the right to change our information practices and the terms of this Privacy Notice, and to apply the changed practices to all information we have about you.
 
Does the BBBSNC website contain links to other websites?
The BBBS website may contain links to other websites that operate independently of BBBSNC and are not under our control. We provide links to those sites solely for your convenience and information. Those sites have their own privacy notices, which we suggest you review if you visit any linked sites. BBBSNC is not responsible for information that is provided by those sites or for any other use of the sites.
