The Privacy Policy of the Grace Institute
Grace Institute respects the privacy of individuals visiting our website. We are grateful for your support and the crucial role you play in helping us continue our valuable work. As part of our commitment to safeguarding your privacy we have adopted the online privacy policy outlined below.
Collection and Use of Information
We collect two kinds of information, site usage data, which is not individually identifiable, and individually identifiable information.
Site Usage Data
Our web server automatically recognizes and collects information about visitors to our site, such as the number of visitors, what pages they access, what browsers they use (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer), capabilities of their browser (e.g., Adobe Flash, JavaScript), and information about the domain name of their internet service provider (e.g., .com, .net). This information is collected anonymously. It is used in aggregate form in order to manage our website and improve its content.
Individually Identifiable Information
We collect individually identifiable information about you when you choose to share information about yourself, for example, when you make a donation. This information may include your postal or e-mail address, and/or your telephone number. The information we collect in these circumstances is always clearly indicated. Individually identifiable information is used to provide you with information you request or acknowledgment of your contribution or message. If you provide your postal or e-mail address, or telephone number to Grace Institute on our website, you may receive periodic contact from us. These communications provide an “opt-out” feature.
Information collected in our forms are directly imported into our Salesforce instance.

Sharing Information with Others
The information we collect is not sold, rented, or shared with any parties outside of Grace Institute, unless under extreme circumstances to comply with the law, enforce our rights, or protect the safety of our users or others.
We urge you to protect your own privacy. We recommend that you do not share any account information or passwords used to access our site(s) or service(s).
E-mail Communications
We occasionally send out an e-mail newsletter and direct email communications to Grace Institute site visitors to highlight news, information, and opportunities available from Grace Institute. These communications provide an “opt-out” feature.
Security
In order to prevent unauthorized access and protect our users personal information, we strive to maintain physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to secure the information we collect online. Online contributions are made through Click and Pledge, which uses industry-standard encryption and protection measures to ensure a secure transaction.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (“COPPA”)
The Grace Institute does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 years. We suggest that you become involved with your child’s access to the internet and to our site to ensure that their privacy is well protected.
Privacy Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. We encourage you to review our policy from time to time.
