KELSIE KARPIAK MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION ("Company" or "we" or "us" or "our") respects the privacy of everyone ("Sites' visitor" "user" or "you") that uses our website www.KelsieKarpiakFoundation.org,as well as other device or online applications related or connected thereto (collectively, the "Sites").

The following Company Privacy Notice ("Privacy Notice") is designed to inform you, as a user of the Sites, about the types of personal information that Company may gather about or collect from you in connection with your use of the Sites. It also is intended to explain the conditions under which Company uses and discloses that personal information, and your rights in relation to that personal information.

The Sites are hosted In the United States. The Sites are subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing our Sites from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you are transferring your personal information to us in the United States, and by using our Sites, you are agreeing to that transfer and use of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice. You also agree to abide to the applicable laws of the State of Florida and U.S. federal law concerning your use of the Sites and your agreements with us. 

2. HOW WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

KELSIE KARPIAK MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION cares about your privacy. For this reason, we collect and use personal information only as needed to deliver our products, services, websites and mobile applications, and to communicate with you about the same, or as you have requested (collectively, our “Services”). Your personal information includes information such as:

· Name

· Address

· Telephone number

· Email address

· Billing and payment information

· Candidate information (for scholarship applicants)

· Other data collected that could directly or indirectly identify you.

Much of what you likely consider personal information is collected directly from you when you:

· create an account or purchase any of our services or products (ex: billing information, including name, address, credit card number);

· complete contact forms or request newsletters or other information from us (ex: email); or

· participate in contests and surveys, apply for a scholarship, or otherwise participate in activities we promote that might require information about you.

We strongly believe in both minimizing the data we collect and limiting its use and purpose to only that (1) for which we have been given permission, (2) as necessary to deliver the Services you purchase or interact with, or (3) as we might be required or permitted for legal compliance or other lawful purposes:

· Delivering, improving, updating and enhancing our Services. We collect various information relating to your purchase, use and/or interactions with our Services. We utilize this information to:

· Improve and optimize the operation and performance of our Services (again, including our websites and mobile applications)

· Diagnose problems with and identify any security and compliance risks, errors, or needed enhancements to the Services

· Detect and prevent fraud and abuse of our Services and systems

· Much of the data collected is aggregated or statistical data about how individuals use our Services, and is not linked to any personal information.

Our Privacy Policy not only explains how and why we use your personal information that we collect, but also how you can access, update or otherwise take control of your personal information. We’ve also created a Trust Center that offers answers to your most common questions, quick links to access your Account Settings, instructions on how to exercise certain rights that might be available to you, and definitions to key terms and concepts noted in this Privacy Policy.

If at any time you have questions about our practices or any of your rights described below, you may reach our Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) by contacting us at KelsieKarpiakFoundation@gmail.com. This inbox is actively monitored and managed so that we can deliver an experience that you can confidently trust.

These third parties may include advertisers, providers of services, utilities, widgets and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Sites. Company neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications accessible through the Sites. Thus, this Privacy Notice does not apply to personal information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on the Sites, directly through the Sites or otherwise, and before providing any personal information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for those Sites or applications, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.

THIRD-PARTY DISCLOSURE

We may share your personal information with affiliated companies within our corporate family, with third parties with which we have partnered to allow you to integrate their services into our own Services, and with trusted third party service providers as necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, such as:

· Processing credit card payments

· Conducting contests or surveys

· Performing analysis of our Services, customer demographics, and sentiment

· Communicating with you, such as by way of email or survey delivery

· Customer relationship management

· Security, risk management and compliance

· Service delivery, support and related services.

When we believe disclosure is appropriate, we may disclose your information to help investigate, prevent or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Company, our users, our employees or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law.

We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.

We are dedicated to protecting all personal information on the Sites as is necessary. However, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information by keeping your password and computer/mobile device access confidential.
