USAGE STATEMENT

Privacy Policy

The following Privacy Policy governs all pages hosted at www.anera.org and those hosted through our online donation area, as well as personal information submitted to Anera via other means.

Privacy of Information | Collection of Information

When you are on Anera’s website and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Anera alone, unless stated otherwise or required by law. Anera may collect general information regarding website visitors, including IP address, browser and domain information, and may also monitor and track information such as visitor usage patterns of our website using standard site tracking software.

We are aware of and sensitive to the issue of unsolicited email (“spam”); therefore Anera will never rent, trade or sell your email address.

Personally Identifiable Information

Anera collects personal information from visitors and other supporters only when they register to join our organization, make a donation online or offline, subscribe to our e-newsletter, or otherwise participate in our online community. Our web server does not automatically recognize or collect personal information based on your email address. Anera provides you with the ability to unsubscribe to any email list and to request deletion of any personal information maintained by Anera.

Use of Information

Anera uses the information you submit voluntarily to us to send you electronic communications such as our e-newsletter, and various printed publications or mail appeals, and to help administer and improve our website.

Anera does not exchange, rent or sell our mailing list.

Update, Correct, or Delete Personal Information

The accuracy of your individual information is important to Anera. If you have a question about or change to your personal information related to a donation, please send an email to [email protected].

Protecting Personal Information

When you give Anera personal information, we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely. Anera uses industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving sensitive visitor data (e.g., financial information) with our site. All online donations are processed via a secure server, managed by EveryAction. Please view their privacy policy here and here.

Anera never stores your credit card information for future use. Anera uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of any personal information on our systems, and to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information transmitted to us. Of course, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Anera cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

Links to Third-Party Sites

The Anera website provides links to other third party websites. While we make efforts to choose our links carefully, we cannot take responsibility for the content of linked websites, or for the privacy policies of websites we link to. Since we do not control those websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies on those websites prior to any use.

Linking to the Anera Website

Generally, websites may link to Anera websites without seeking the permission of Anera. However, such links must clearly identify Anera as the source of the information displayed and preserve the integrity of the Anera web pages without alteration.

Tell-A-Friend

If you elect to use the referral service for informing a friend about a page on the Anera website, you will be asked for the friend’s name and e-mail address. Anera will automatically send the friend a one-time e-mail inviting them to visit the site. Anera uses this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.

Privacy Policy Changes

Anera may amend this privacy policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on our website so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.

Terms of Use

Use of this site is provided by Anera subject to the following Terms of Use.

Your use constitutes acceptance of these Terms of Use.

Anera reserves the right to change these Terms of Use at any time by posting changes online.

Accordingly, you may wish to visit this page from time to time to review the then current Terms of Use.

You agree to use this site only for lawful purposes, and in a manner which does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of the site by, any third party. If Anera reasonably determines that you have violated or are likely to violate the foregoing prohibitions, Anera may take any action it reasonably deems necessary to cure or prevent the violation, including without limitation, the immediate removal from this website of the related materials.

This site and the information, names, images, pictures, and logos regarding or relating to Anera are provided “as is” without any representation or endorsement made and without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. In no event will Anera be liable for any damages including, without limitation, indirect or consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever arising from the use or in connection with such use or loss of use of the site, whether in contract or in negligence or any other theory of liability.

Anera does not warrant that this site or the functions contained in the material contained in this site will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be corrected, or that this site or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or bugs or represents the full functionality, accuracy and reliability of the materials.
