However, in certain sections of this Site, we may invite you to login through a third party social networking service, contact us with questions or comments, volunteer, request to build applications and submit product feedback. Due to the nature of some of these activities, we may collect personally identifiable information that you submit such as your login credentials, name, email address, zip or postal code, organization name and organization website.

For example, we may use this aggregate information to provide volunteer information in your area.

If you decide to use a social networking service to sign in, you are using other services like Facebook Connect. These services give us a token that allows social features on the site, and this token is stored on our third party hosting provider's servers. The respective sign in services have privacy settings and policies that let you control your preferences. By default, those services use a cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for this Site or App to recognize when you return to the Site. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this feature.

When you are signed in to the Site, you may send messages, "like" an activity and transmit information through various channels. We collect information from these activities through this Site so that we can provide you with our service and offer personalized features, such as your activity page. In most cases, we retain this information so that, for instance, you can return to view activities you "like" or to easily see your friend list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable us to revert to the prior version of that information. If you decide you don't want to have your activity page on the Site, and you're OK with having all history permanently removed, you'll need to email us at info@handsonsandiego.org.

Use of System Information

IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to you. We will not use your IP address to attempt to identify your personal information.

A Referrer is the information passed along by a web browser that references the Web URL you linked from, and is automatically collected by our web server as “traffic data”. We reserve the right to use this information to identify broad demographic trends that may be used to provide information tailored to your interests. You will not be personally identified from this information.

System information that we collect as part of “traffic data” includes time, the type of web browser being used, the operating system/platform, and CPU speed. This information is sent automatically by your web browser when you are connected to a web site. We reserve the right to use this information for purposes of identifying broad demographic trends and may be used to provide information appropriate for your computer system. You will not be personally identified from this information.

Advertisements that appear on this Site or in connection with the software services provided in connection therewith are sometimes delivered directly to users by third-party advertisers, who automatically receive your IP address at that time. They may also download cookies to your computer or use similar techniques to gather information about you.

In addition, we will release specific information about you to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of security or a physical threat to you or others.

Please note that if you give out personally identifiable information online, such information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users’ privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post on this Site. You disclose such information at your own risk.

Users Outside of the United States

Our computer systems and some of the computer systems of our third party service providers are currently based in the United States, so your personal data will be processed by us in the United States where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world, such as the European Union. As a visitor from outside the United States, by using the Site or App you agree to this Privacy Policy and you consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection of that required in the European Union or certain other countries, and to the processing of that information as described in this Privacy Policy.
