Our Commitment To Privacy
We understand the importance of protecting your privacy; this notice explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available from each page of the site.

The Information We Collect
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Heritage Community Initiatives website.

On some pages, you can make a donation or contact us for information. The types of personal information which you may submit and which is collected at these pages are your
Name
Address
Email address
Phone number
Credit card information (for donations only)

On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you want to make a “tribute” donation in someone’s name, you will need to provide the that person’s name, email address, and phone number. If you want us to send a message to that person, we will also need to know the text you want sent.  If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site.

How We Use Information
We will use the information you provide about yourself or someone else in order to comply with your requests and to better serve you.  We may use the information to contact you.  We will not sell or otherwise transfer any personally identifiable information you provide at our Web site to any third party except as requested or authorized by you; as necessary to complete a transaction initiated by you; to compile demographic statistics about our users; or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Statement.

When you order or request information from us, we may ask if you would like to receive updates on our organization and our products. If we send you an email with information about us and our products, we will provide a convenient way to "opt out" of receiving more emails from us, or you may simply notify us if you prefer not to receive updates.  If you provide information about someone else, that person may contact us at info@HeritageCommunityInitiatives.org to request that we remove his or her information from our database.

We are the sole owners of information you voluntarily submit to us.

Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on this site. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.

We use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site and to use the shopping cart. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser.

If you set your browser to reject cookies, you may still use our site, but will not be able to use the shopping cart; instead, you may order by telephone, mail, or fax.

Your Choices

• You can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to take advantage of Web site features.
• You can add or update certain information that you send to us.  When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.
• You can contact us at the e-mail address or phone number below if you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us.

Our Commitment To Data Security
No sensitive information of any type is stored on the Heritage Community Initiatives public web servers. Any Heritage records needed to complete a financial transaction or to maintain normal, private business and tax records are kept on a non-public system that is physically and logically separate from the public web servers, and guarded by multiple firewalls and other protective hardware and software devices and methods.

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy
No part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13. We know how important it is to protect young people's privacy; for that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13 and we instruct children under 13 not to send us any information. In the event we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible. Children under 18 must obtain parent or guardian permission to make a donation.

How To Contact Us
Should you have other questions or concerns about these privacy policies, please call us at 412-351-0535 or send us an email at info@HeritageCommunityInitiatives.org.

Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information without your consent as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, to protect personal or public safety, and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us.

Your Consent
By using our Web site, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Statement.

Links to Other Sites
Our Web site may contain links to other sites.  Other sites may also reference or link to our site.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other sites.

Security
We recognize that visitors to our Web site are concerned about the security of their personal information, and we are committed to employing reasonable technology in order to protect the security of our Web site.  However, even with the best technology, no Web site is 100% secure.  We will take reasonable measures which we believe are appropriate to protect your information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction, and, where possible, will ask that any third parties to whom we may transfer your information take comparable steps to protect that security.

Changes in this Privacy Statement
If we decide to change our Privacy Statement, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently.
