This website is owned and operated by Waste Not, Inc. (“WASTE NOT”). We value your support and we are committed to protecting your privacy. We recognize that many visitors to our website are concerned about the information they provide to us, how we treat that information, and who receives that information. We've provided this Privacy Policy to explain our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.

Please note by accessing or using this website, you are agreeing to the terms of this privacy policy and consent to the collection and use of information as discussed in this privacy policy. If you don not agree to the terms of this privacy policy, do not access this website.

We reserve the right to modify or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. We will indicate the Policy's effective date on the first page of the Policy. All changes will be effective immediately upon their posting to this website. Material changes will be conspicuously posted on this website. By accessing or using this website after such changes are posted, you agree and consent to all such changes.

Types of Information We Collect

At our website, we may collect both personally identifiable information and information that is not personally identifiable.

Personally identifiable information relates to you as an individual - e.g., name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, demographic information, credit card number, or other information required to complete your registration. We only collect personally-identifiable information from individuals who provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly.

Non-personally identifiable information relates to such things as how many visitors visit the website, which pages are most commonly accessed, what information is downloaded, the type of web browser and operating system you use, the name of your Internet Service Provider (e.g., America Online), IP addresses and so on.

How We Collect Information

As we noted above, personally-identifiable information is collected from you directly and with your knowledge, never automatically. Thus, when you enter a promotion, make a donation, or request services or information from us, we collect the information needed for you to participate and for us to fulfill our obligations to you. When you e-mail us, we collect the e-mail address you supply, and any other information in your e-mail, so that we can respond. Our website may sometimes include notices of contests or promotions we are conducting for fundraising purposes. In some instances, we may permit you to enter such promotions electronically. If that occurs, we will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion (e.g., to contact you if you're a winner). Within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the promotion, the personal information will be deleted from our database, unless you've agreed to permit us to keep it and use it to contact you again. Any such contest or promotion will also be subject to any additional contest or promotion rules.

We may also collect non-personal information when you view our website. We may log your IP address for systems administration and tracking purposes, but IP addresses are not used to track a user’s session. This information only helps us determine how often different areas of our website are visited. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our website to our visitors and enhance your experience on our website.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We may use the personal information you provide us to provide you with the services or information that you request from us or to respond to your comments or questions. For example, we may contact you to provide a service or information you requested through our website. In addition, if you make a donation, we may put you on our mailing list or otherwise contact you from time to time. For example, we may occasionally send you marketing or promotion materials or other materials that we think may be of interest to you. We may also ask for some personally-identifiable information, such as your name and phone number. We use this information only if we need to contact you directly because our attempts to contact you by e-mail were unsuccessful. If you do not want us to contact you at all, please let us know by sending us an email at the email address below.

We also may use your personal information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze website usage, and to improve our features and content. We may also use your personal information to deliver content that is customized to your interests, as we best understand them from the information you've provided to us and your activities on the website.

We Disclose Your Information Only to Those Who Provide Support Services

In the course of doing business, we may employ third-party companies and individuals to perform a variety of functions on our behalf. For example, we may hire agencies to help administer donation payments, to administer promotions, to analyze data, to maintain our website and data, or to provide customer service. These third parties may have access to your personal information solely to the extent it is needed to perform their functions for WASTE NOT or to provide you with the services or information that you may request; however, they are prohibited from using your personal information for other purposes and they are required to maintain the information in confidence.

Waste Not's Data Ownership, Sharing and Transfer

Except as discussed above, we do not sell, rent, or loan the personally-identifiable information we gather on our website to third parties without your prior consent. However, we reserve the right to use, share, and disclose your personal information in the event we believe doing so is necessary to operate this website, to provide you with the services and information you may request, where such disclosure may be required by law, or to protect our rights or the rights of others.

WASTE NOT maintains full rights to any information collected on this website, and may freely collect, use and disclose such information unless prohibited by this Privacy Policy or applicable law. In the event of a change in control of WASTE NOT or donation by WASTE NOT of substantially all of its assets, any information owned by or in the control of WASTE NOT may be transferred to such successor, who will comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

How We Protect Your Information

Our website has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to information will not occur, we use industry standards, such as Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”) technology to help safeguard against such occurrences. In the event that a breach into our security systems occurs and there is a possibility that an unauthorized person acquires your personal information, we will notify you of such a breach under applicable law.

Links to Other Web sites

WASTE NOT may offer links to third-party websites we believe may be helpful to you. However, we do not maintain those websites or endorse the content. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any third parties or third-party websites, including any linked or linking websites. To the extent that you disclose personally identifiable information to any such third parties, different rules may apply to their use and disclosure of personal information that you disclose to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of such websites before disclosing your personal information to them to understand your rights.

Choice and Control

You are ultimately in control of the personally-identifiable information you provide to us on our website. You can always change your preference for follow-up contacts just by e-mailing us at the address listed below. You may also request that we remove or update your personal information, or correct any factual errors that you believe may exist regarding this information. Please contact us with your request with any questions regarding your information.
