“Cookies” may be used in connection with this site. A cookie is a small amount of identifier data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. By using cookies, information is potentially collected without your express knowledge. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies but permit you to change the setting to refuse cookies or to be alerted when cookies are being sent. While the refusal to accept cookies will not prevent the use of some portions of this site, other portions of this site may not function properly without cookies.

How SOAR OUTREACH Uses the Information It Collects

SOAR OUTREACH uses the information it collects through this site to improve its marketing and promotional efforts, to improve its content, and to customize this site’s services, content, and layout. SOAR OUTREACH may provide the information it collects through this site to third parties who provide services on SOAR OUTREACH’s behalf and, with your permission, to SOAR OUTREACH’s business partners. SOAR OUTREACH may use the information it collects through this site to inform you of new services, changes, or promotions. If you do not want us to send you this type of information, please let us know by contacting us at info@souroutreach.com.

How SOAR OUTREACH Shares the Information It Collects

SOAR OUTREACH understands the importance of privacy and confidentiality to users of this site.  SOAR OUTREACH may provide the information it collects through this site to third parties who provide services on SOAR OUTREACH’s behalf and, with your permission, to SOAR OUTREACH’s business partners. For example, we use one or more third-party financial institutions to process our credit card transactions. They receive the credit card number and other personal information of our donors only to verify credit card numbers and to process credit card transactions in a secure environment. We also occasionally hire other companies to perform limited services on our behalf. We only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service and prohibit them from using that information for any other purpose. Aggregated, depersonalized traffic data is shared with certain advertisers to optimize campaigns.

From time to time, SOAR OUTREACH may also share donor names and mailing addresses with other reputable nonprofit organizations on a limited basis in exchange for limited access to the names and addresses of their constituents. We have found this is a cost-effective method of reaching additional potential constituents. These organizations will not have continued access to your name and address if you choose to respond to their initial mailing and opt-out. We do not share email address data in connection with this list exchange.

We respect our donors’ choices and control over their information. You, as a donor, may, at any time, have your name excluded from any donor list exchange activity.  To ask that your name be excluded from list exchange activity or to otherwise change how SOAR OUTREACH contacts you, please email us at info@soaroutreach.com.

SOAR OUTREACH may disclose information it collects through this site when required to do so by a court, regulatory agency, subpoena, law, regulation, or other bodies of competent jurisdiction and authority, and for administrative and other purposes that SOAR OUTREACH deems necessary to maintain, service, and improve its products and services and to protect its rights and property. Finally, if you become involved in any violation of security, violation of this website’s Terms of Use, or violation of any party’s or third party’s rights, SOAR OUTREACH may release information about you to assist in investigating, resolving, or re-mediating any such incidents.

Integrity and Security

Use of SSL and Encryption. In order to enhance privacy and security, SOAR OUTREACH maintains a current Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption Certificate on official SOAR OUTREACH Sites that permit a donor or supporter to provide their personal data.
