Last modified: May 3, 2024


PLEASE REVIEW THIS POLICY CAREFULLY

This Privacy Policy outlines how Cause Partners ("we," "us," or "our"), handle information gathered through www.causepartners.com, its sub-domains, and affiliated sites, including our presence on various social media platforms like Twitter®, Facebook®, LinkedIn®, Instagram®, TikTok®, and YouTube® (collectively referred to as the “Sites”). If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us using the information provided below. Additionally, we encourage you to review our full Terms and Conditions of Use, which govern your use of the Sites. By accessing or using any part of our Sites, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy.



COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Unless specifically stated otherwise, we do not collect personally identifiable information from users of our Sites. When you visit our Sites, certain information about your computer's hardware and software is automatically collected, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, access time, and referring website addresses. While we typically do not use this information for specific purposes, it may be utilized for site enhancements, analysis, and troubleshooting. Some services offered through our Sites, such as email opt-ins, may require the provision of personal data. You have the option to withhold requested personal data, but doing so may restrict your access to certain site features or content.



INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY LAWS AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR

If you are accessing our Site from outside the United States, please be aware that any information you provide is transmitted to servers located in the United States. Consequently, your information may be transferred within or outside the United States, subject to this Privacy Policy. For visitors from the European Union (EU), special rights are conferred under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These rights include the ability to object to data processing, access and rectify your data, and request erasure. Additionally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.



COOKIES: WHAT THEY ARE, AND WHY THEY ARE NEEDED

Cookies are data text files sent from a website to your browser, serving to identify users and grant access to specific website sections without requiring repeated login. Cookies may be stored on your system. If we utilize cookies, we can only access information from cookies sent by our Sites, not from other websites. Cookies may be used to personalize your visit to our Sites, as tracking usage enables us to better understand the needs of our customers and advertisers.



OUR POLICY WITH MINORS

Our Sites are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you may only use our Sites under parental or guardian supervision. We do not knowingly collect or maintain information from individuals under 18 years old.




DATA RETENTION

We retain collected Personal Data for a limited period, as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was initially collected, unless otherwise mandated by law. We will retain and use information as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements for a period of up to 10 years.




USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you choose to provide personal information, we will not willingly share it with external companies, except as outlined in this Privacy Policy. You may receive communications from us related to products and services we believe may interest you. However, you always have the option to opt out of receiving such communications by following the opt-out instructions provided within emails that you receive from us. We may disclose total aggregated user statistics for various lawful purposes, but this information will not identify individual users.

You have the right to request access to your information by contacting us at info@causepartners.com. We will respond within 90 calendar days from the date your request is received. If there are extenuating circumstances preventing us from fulfilling your request within this timeframe, we reserve the right to reasonably extend our response time and will notify you accordingly. If you believe the information we have about you is incorrect or wish to have your private information removed, you may contact us at info@causepartners.com. Any data no longer required for specified purposes will be deleted.

We do not give away, sell, rent, or lease users’ personally identifiable information to any merchant, advertiser, or web publisher. However, non-personally identifiable user information may be shared with third-party businesses or advertisers with whom we have a business or contractual relationship. We reserve the right to disclose personal information when necessary to comply with the law or legal processes, cooperate with investigations, identify persons violating the law, enforce our Terms of Use, or in connection with the sale of part or all of our assets.

Please note that any personally identifiable information you disclose in public areas of our Sites may be collected and used by others. We do not monitor information disclosed on the Sites and assume no liability associated with such disclosures.

You are responsible for reviewing the privacy statements and policies of other websites you choose to link to or from our Sites, to understand how they collect, use, and store your information. We are not responsible for the privacy statements, policies, or content of other websites. Websites featuring co-branding (mentioning our name and a third party’s name) contain content delivered by the third party, not us.




LIMITATIONS

By using our Sites, you agree that we are not responsible for any disclosure of your personal information made by you to a third party through your use of the Sites, any disclosure of your personal information obtained illegally from us, or any accidental disclosure of your personal information made by us.




POLICY CHANGES

We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any modifications will take effect immediately upon posting. While we will take steps to notify users of any modifications, you are responsible for reviewing any updated terms. When we update our Policy, we will indicate the revision date at the top of the Policy. Your continued use of our Sites following any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

The sole purpose of this notice is to define the rights that California consumers may have under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).


The terms "personal information" and "processing" as defined in the CCPA hold the same meanings in this Notice as understood under the CCPA. This includes exceptions to certain terms under the CCPA, such as the exclusion of publicly available, aggregate consumer information, or de-identified information from the definition of "personal information."


The following section illustrates the categories of information we may collect online, along with relevant details such as the purpose of collection, how it is shared, if it is shared, and whether we sell that personal information:

Please note that we reserve the right to request additional information to verify the above, including a form of government-issued identification. We also reserve the right to decline processing requests if the provided information is insufficient, if the request may violate any law or legal requirement, if it may lead to incorrect information, or if it may jeopardize the privacy of others.

Written responses to information requests will be delivered either by mail or electronically. We commit to responding within 45 calendar days from the day the request is received. In case of extenuating circumstances, we may extend our response due date and will notify you accordingly. If a request is declined, we will provide an explanation, and you have the right to appeal. We do not discriminate against individuals for exercising their rights under applicable law.

We reserve the right to modify or delete some or all of the collected information. In such cases, we will retain data as reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, including regulatory, security, or dispute requirements, law enforcement requirements, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to enforce obligations.
