Welcome to DonationJunction.org (“Donation Junction”) . If you continue to browse and use this website, or if you redeem your Donation Junction Reward PIN, you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions of use, which together with our privacy policy govern Donation Junction’s relationship with you in relation to this website.
DonationJunction.org recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided to us and to our clients through the use of our services and related websites. We created the following policy guidelines with a fundamental respect for your right to privacy to guide our relationship with our users and consumers who use any of the websites, co-branded microsites, services, or applications owned or provided by Donation Junction (the "Sites") (collectively or individually, "Consumers").
1. The Information Donation Junction Collects
Donation Junction may collect information before or after you redeem your Donation Junction Reward PIN. Consumer Provided Information: When you visit the Sites, you may provide to Donation Junction what is generally called "personally identifiable" information (such as your name and email address) if you redeem a Donation Junction Reward PIN, though you are under no obligation to do so.
"Cookies" Information: When you visit the Sites, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer. Donation Junction uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Sites. These persistent cookies can be removed, but each web browser is a little different. So, please review your browser "Help" file to learn the correct way to modify your cookies setup. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
"Automatically Collected" Information: When you use the Sites or open one of our HTML emails, we automatically record certain data using technology, including "clear gifs" or "web beacons," cookies (discussed above), IP addresses, unique "device IDs" (similar to IP addresses), and log files.
"Automatically Collected" Data: Includes redemption activity, web browser type, the website that referred you to us, the web pages you viewed on the Sites, and the dates and times that you visited the Sites.
"Tell-A-Friend" Information: If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend's name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site.
2. The Way Donation Junction Uses Information
Donation Junction uses the information that we collect to operate, maintain, and provide to you all of the coupons and promotional offerings found on the Sites and for other non-marketing or administrative purposes such as notifying you of major service updates or for customer service purposes.
Donation Junction uses all of the information that we collect from our Consumers to understand the usage trends and preferences, to improve the way the Sites work and look, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, and to create new features and functionality.
Donation Junction uses "automatically collected" data to (a) process and record redemption activity; (b) share information you authorize with participating charities, and (c) monitor aggregate usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed.
3. When Donation Junction Discloses Information
Donation Junction discloses both "personally identifiable" and "automatically collected" information to our clients, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons to process such information on our behalf, to provide website maintenance and security, to enable Donation Junction to fulfill redemptions, to offer certain features on the Sites, to assist us in improving the way the Sites work and look, and to create new features. We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with our Privacy Policy. We use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information, and we require these parties to use any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We do not share "personally identifiable" information with other third-party organizations other than participating charities and charity partners without your consent except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-out. We may disclose Customer information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant.
We also reserve the right to disclose Customer information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability; protect Consumers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; to assist government enforcement agencies; to protect the security or integrity of the Sites; and to protect against fraudulent uses, the rights, property, or personal safety of Donation Junction, our Clients, or others.
4. Your Choices
We provide you the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. If you no longer wish to receive our weekly coupon email alerts and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each email or communication or mailing us at Loyalty Solutions, 350 Fairfield Avenue, Suite 400, Bridgeport, CT 06604. You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.
In some cases if you decline to share personal information on the Sites Donation Junction will not be able to provide certain services to you on the Sites.. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to personal information or before making corrections.
5. Third-Party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
Third-party ad servers or ad networks may serve advertisements within the Sites. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Sites. These ad servers automatically receive your IP address when this happens, and they may also use other technologies (such as cookies, javascript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize their advertising content. Donation Junction's Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or websites.
6. Our Commitment to Data Security
Donation Junction uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. WE CANNOT, HOWEVER, ENSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU TRANSMIT TO DonationJunction.org , AND YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. Once we receive your transmission of information, Donation Junction makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

For that reason, Donation Junction does not knowingly collect or maintain information from persons under 18 years of age, and no part of the Donation Junction Sites are structured to attract anyone under 18. If you are under 18 years of age, then please do not use or access the Sites at any time or in any manner. If DonationJunction.org learns that personally identifiable information of persons under 18 years of age has been collected on the Sites without verified parental consent, then Donation Junction will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.
