PRIVACY POLICY

It is the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program’s visitors use its website. From time to time, the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program’s member sites. The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that site commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program’s websites choose to interact with the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program in ways that require the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program. The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program may monitor the most popular member sites on the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program site. The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program’s behalf or to provide services available at the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program website and have supplied your email address, the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program and our products. We expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
