WHAT TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES RAISE CRAZE COLLECT AND HOW?
In order to operate the Service and to provide our services, we must ask you to provide certain information about yourself. In order for you to participate in Campaigns, make donations through the Service, or register with the Sites as a Campaign Organizer, we require you to provide us with applicable information that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”). We only collect personal information directly from you when you provide it to us. Personal Information includes, but is not limited to the following types of data, which will depend on your user type on our Sites:
Campaign Organizers: Personal contact information (name, e-mail address, phone, password, etc.), Organization information (name, address, logo, EIN & Legal Entity Name (if applicable)), Campaign information (goal, campaign dates, what you’re raising money for, suggested Acts of Kindness, teacher/group names (optional), etc.)
Participants: Name, email address, password, photo (optional), birth month & year, organization you are raising money for (i.e. school, team or group), classroom/group name (if applicable), Acts of Kindness selected, Acts of Kindness completed, potential donor names & email addresses (optional), etc.
Donors: Name, email address, donation amount, postal code, etc.
We do not collect any personally identifiable financial information such as your credit card number, bank account number or similar information. The collection of the foregoing in relation to your donation is made by a third party payment processor through its portal and is subject to such payment processor’s terms of use and privacy policies.
HOW DOES RAISE CRAZE USE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use your Personal Information in order to administer the Sites and allow you to use and participate in the Service, and to otherwise provide the services you are requesting, administer your account, respond to your questions and requests, customize your experience on the Sites and contact you regarding your account. Here are some examples of some of the communications we may send you: receipts (regarding donations); updates about activity on the Sites and Service related to you (including donations received); updates regarding your status (including Campaign milestones).
WHAT TYPES OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES RAISE CRAZE COLLECT AND HOW?
We may use automated means to collect various types of non-personal information (data in a form that does not support direct association with any specific person or individual). Much of this information is collected through the use of third-party tracking services. For example, we have implemented Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, a feature of Google analytics, which is a web analysis service provided by Google. We utilize the data collected to track and examine the use of raisecraze.com, kindness.raisecraze.com, and my.raisecraze.com, to prepare reports for internal use only. We do not share this information with any parties. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network and share the data with other Google services. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Ad Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads) or the Opt-Out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/).
The information collected may include usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of users to the Sites, pages visited, web browsing histories, online activities and searches, social networking activities and similar data. This type of information may be shared with third parties at any time. In addition to the third-party tracking services mentioned above, we also collect this information through various other means, including "cookies” and IP addresses, as further explained below.
Meta Tags
Our Sites use meta tags to provide metadata about our web pages to browsers, search engines and other third parties, including Meta. Meta tags help improve the user experience by enabling better indexing and display of our content in search results. These tags may include information such as page descriptions, keywords, and instructions for search engine crawlers.
We do not use meta tags to collect personal information directly. However, some meta tags may reveal technical details about our website, such as software versions or content management systems, which do not contain personal data but help us optimize site performance and security.
We ensure that meta tags on our site do not contain sensitive or personally identifiable information. Any metadata collected or generated through our website interactions is handled in accordance with our overall privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of information that a web server may place on your computer when you visit a website. We use “cookies” to collect information about you and your activity across our Sites. Examples of our use of cookies include keeping you logged in to your account, tracking views of specific pages, and improving security of our Sites.
Web Beacons
Certain pages on the Sites may contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). These web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. Web beacons also may be used to track whether you have opened an HTML email. When the email is opened, a part of the code that makes up the HTML page calls a web server to load the web beacon that then generates a record showing that the email has been viewed. Web beacons may also recognize when the email was opened, how many times it was forwarded and which URLs (links within the email) were clicked.
IP Addresses
When you visit and interact with the Sites, Raise Craze and third parties with whom we have contracted to provide services for us, may collect Internet Protocol addresses (each an “IP Address”), as well as browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and page navigation. An IP Address is a unique identifier number that certain electronic devices use to identify and to communicate with each other on the Internet; your Internet Service Provider automatically assigns an IP Address to the computer that you are using. We gather this information to track web site visitor movement in the aggregate, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Our goal in gathering this information is to learn how our customers and the public are using our Sites. We may use this information to enhance our Sites or for other lawful purposes.
Do Not Track Notice
Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. How browsers communicate and respond to the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. For this reason, like many websites, the Sites do not currently respond to or alter their practices when they receive a Do Not Track signal. Please note that third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit our Sites or other online websites and services. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you may wish to visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com.
IS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION KEPT CONFIDENTIAL?
Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with any other third parties except: (i) as necessary to comply with applicable state, federal, or other governmental regulatory requirements, (ii) as necessary to comply with a court order or other legal process, (iii) to protect our rights or property, (iv) in connection with our sale, merger, consolidation, change of control, or transfer of substantial assets, or (v) to enforce our Terms of Service. Please keep in mind that while we take reasonable precautions to safeguard your Personal Information, no amount of protection can guarantee its security. Information we collect using forms on the Service will be transmitted within a session secured using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
WHO HAS ACCESS TO MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER?
We do not have access to your credit card number. Raise Craze contracts with Stripe (https://stripe.com) to process all donations made through the Sites and Service. Only this third party processor, or the third party processor which Raise Craze may later use in place of or in addition to Stripe, has access to your credit card number. Data handled by third party processors are subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies.
WHAT ARE YOUR CHOICES WITH REGARDS TO PRIVACY?
It’s up to you whether you want to provide us with Personal Information and it’s ultimately your decision if you want to use our Sites. You can always visit the Sites without providing us with Personal information, but you will be unable to take certain actions without doing so (including creating a Campaign, joining a Campaign or making a donation).
CHILDREN'S (USERS UNDER AGE 13) PRIVACY:
Our Sites are not directed to individuals under the age of 13, and we request that individuals under 13 not provide personal data to the Sites. We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under the age of thirteen (13) without verifiable parental consent. If we learn that a child under the age of thirteen (13) has submitted personally identifiable information online without parental consent, we will take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our databases and to not use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others as required or allowed by law). If you become aware of any personally identifiable information we have collected from children under thirteen (13), please contact us at [email protected].
SECURITY
Raise Craze takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information provided via the Sites from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. That being said, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from the Sites may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Information to Raise Craze via the Internet.

The Sites is hosted in the United States and is governed by United States law. If you are visiting the Sites from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By using the Sites, you consent to your information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.

Please note that we have no affiliation with any of these other parties and/or websites, and cannot control and are not responsible for the information collection, use, and disclosure practices of such third parties; we encourage you to review and understand their privacy practices and policies, if any, before using providing any personally identifying information to them or initiating any financial transactions.
