Privacy Policy

 

Introduction

This privacy policy sets out how Grupo Kalinangan Inc. (GKI) uses and protects any information that you give to GKI.

GKI is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

GKI may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This policy is effective as of May 17, 2018.

 

What we do with your personally identifiable information

It is always up to you whether to disclose personally identifiable information to us. Although if you elect not to do so, we reserve the right not to register you as a user or provide you with any products or services. “Personally identifiable information” means information that can be used to identify you as an individual, such as, for example:

• name, birth date and occupation
• contact information, including email address
• demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests, etc.
• other information relevant to volunteer programs, opportunities, surveys and related activities
• payment information for online transactions (e.g. credit card information, fintech account details, etc.)

The above provision may not be appropriate if credit card information is handled by a payment processor:

• any account-preference information you provide us
• your computer’s domain name and IP address, indicating
• where your computer is located on the Internet
• session data for your login session, so that our computer can ‘talk’ to yours while you are logged in

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

• internal record-keeping
• shortlisting of applicants based on program and/or project requirements
• improving our programs, projects and services
• promotions and offers, either from GKI or through our partners and affiliates

If you do provide personally identifiable information to us, either directly or through a business partner, we will:

• not sell or rent it to a third party without your permission — although unless you opt out (see below), we may use your contact information to provide you with information we believe you need to know or may find useful, such as (for example) news about our services and products and modifications to the Terms of Service;
• take commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction;
• not use or disclose the information except:
  • as necessary to provide services or products you have ordered, such as (for example) by providing it to a carrier to deliver products you have ordered;
    in other ways described in this privacy policy or to which you have otherwise consented;
  • in the aggregate with other information in such a way so that your identity cannot reasonably be determined (for example, statistical compilations);
    as required by law, for example, in response to a subpoena or search warrant;
  • to outside auditors who have agreed to keep the information confidential;
  • as necessary to enforce the Terms of Service;
  • as necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Company Name, its users, or others; this may include (for example) exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and/or risk reduction.

Other information we collect

We may collect other information that cannot be readily used to identify you, such as (for example) the domain name and IP address of your computer. We may use this information, individually or in the aggregate, for technical administration of our website(s); research and development; customer- and account administration; and to help us focus our marketing efforts more precisely.
