Privacy policy and terms of use
At Impetus Trust, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our
donors and visitors to our website. The following information is
designed to help you better understand the information we gather
from our site and through our services, how we handle the
information once we gather it, whether we disclose it to anyone,
and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to
correct, the information
Please note that this privacy policy applies only to this site and not necessarily to other companies' or organisations' sites to which we link. By visiting this site, you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy.
Access to this website is subject to the following conditions:
1. Information Collection and Use
Our primary goals in collecting personal information are to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience, to send you information upon your request, and to thank you for your support of the causes we support.
2. Aggregate Data
In general, we automatically gather certain usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to this site. This information may include which URL you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your IP address. We use such data only in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our visitors use parts of the site, and do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve you. In addition, we may aggregate data and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for marketing and promotional purposes. In these situations, we do not disclose any information that could be used to identify you personally.
3. Personally Identifiable Information
If you volunteer to make a donation, we will request personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, phone number and email address. We seek such information to facilitate your donations and communicate with you about them. In addition, we may use such information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze site usage, improve our content and product offerings, and customize our site's content, layout and services.
If you sign up for any of our services which allow you to invite your friends to donate to us, we will not sell these email addresses to anyone, nor will we use them for any purpose other than inviting them to donate at your request.
We may use internal service providers to facilitate our services, and therefore, may provide some of your personally identifiable information directly to them. In addition, we employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from donor lists, analyzing data, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. These companies and individuals have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for any other purpose.
4. Cookies
"Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive; each web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser preferences allow it.

In addition, a number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit web sites anonymously.
Cookies help us to provide customised services and information that is targeted to your interests. We use cookies to tell us how and when pages in our site are visited, what our users' technology preferences are (such as what type of video player they use) and whether our site is functioning properly.
Additionally, you may encounter cookies or other similar devices on our site that are placed by third parties. We do not control the use of cookies by third parties.
