This policy describes the types of personal information we collect, how we may use that information, and with whom we may share it when you visit our site or use our services (henceforth collectively called “Services”). Our Privacy Policy also describes the measures we take to protect the security of the information. In addition, we describe the choices you can make about how we use the information you provide to us.

We seek your personal information when you make a donation, request a communication from us, and register to become a part of our Support Group.

Irrespective of the mode in which we receive your personal information, we make all earnest attempts to honor your privacy.
When you ask us to send you an email, such as a free email newsletter, you may provide us with certain information, such as your email address, so we can fulfill your request. You may choose to provide additional information as well, such as your postal address and phone number.
When you make a donation through our Site, we may ask you to submit certain personal information, such as Debit/Credit card details, so we can process your donation, Name/ Company Name, Postal Address, Email Address, and Phone Number, and any other details as may be required to comply to the laws of the land.
We may occasionally ask visitors to our Site to complete online surveys and opinion polls about their activities, attitudes, and interests. These surveys help us understand the needs of our visitors. We do not keep any personal information about you in connection with your participation in a Site survey unless you specifically agree to provide this information.
While you are browsing through the Site, the Site’s operating system may automatically record some general information about your visit, such as (i) the date and time you visited the Site, along with the address of the previous website you were visiting, if you are redirected to us from another website (ii) the type of browser you are using (such as Internet Explorer version ‘X’).
The General Information is not Personal Information. FOM’s tracking system does not record personal information about individuals or link this information to any Personal Information collected from you.
“Cookies” are small amounts of data that a website can send to a web browser on a visitor’s computer. The cookie is stored on a visitor’s computer. A cookie may enable the site holder to track how a visitor navigates through its site and the areas in which they show interest. This is similar to a traffic report: it tracks trends and behaviors but does not identify individuals. Information gathered may include the date and time of visits, pages viewed, time spent at the site, and the site visited just before and after the site.
Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged in to the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests as you move through our Site.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function.
DGA Trust does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose personal information about our Site visitors (nor our offline donors) except as described here. We may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law, (ii) in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity, or (iv) to our affiliates or subsidiaries.
We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our organization or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to direct the transferee to use the personal information you have provided through this Site in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
DGA Trust has the necessary security mechanisms in place, and access to Personal Information collected by DGA Trust will be given only to those persons who are authorized by DGA Trust to perform administrative services. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration, or destruction of the personal information in our possession. All online transactions are done on a secure server. When you provide credit card information to make a donation, we use the industry standard for Internet security, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, to help protect the information you provide. This Internet encryption standard scrambles data as it travels from your computer to our server. Please note, however, that perfect security does not exist on the Internet. You’ll know that you’re in a secure area of our Site when a “lock” icon appears on your screen and the “http” portion of our URL address changes to “https.” The “s” stands for “secure.”
DGA Trust, however, does not make any express or implied warranty with respect to the security measures that it may employ from time to time for the protection of the Personal Information.
