This privacy statement is designed to tell you how Texas CASA collects and uses personal information provided to our website TexasCASA.org (the “Site”) so you can make an informed decision about using our Site. Please read this statement before using our Site or submitting any personal information to us. By using our Site, you consent to the information collection and use practices described herein. Texas CASA reserves the right to change the provisions of this privacy statement at any time, but will alert you that changes have been made by indicating on the privacy statement the date it was last updated. Your use of the Site following the posting of such changes or revised statement shall constitute your acceptance of any such changes. We encourage you to review our Privacy Statement whenever you visit our Site to make sure that you understand how any personal information you provide will be used. 

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

The Texas CASA membership organization, together with its local CASA members, supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy for children who have been abused and neglected so that they can thrive during and after their time in care. In order to further this mission, Texas CASA may collect certain information from you through our Site, including personal information (i.e., individual information that may be used to personally identify or contact you).  

At several places on our Site, we collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us which may contain personally identifiable information. For example, if you make a donation, become a member, join our email list, fill out a form or register for an event through the Site, we may collect your name, address, phone and email. You may also provide us with credit card information for payment of purchases, donations, event registration, membership fees or other fees collected by Texas CASA. However, credit card information is only used to process the transaction and never saved. In addition, from time to time our Site may request information as part of surveys or contests or in connection with grant applications and reporting. If you send us an email request or participate in our forums, we may store that information as well. 

Texas CASA may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Site, or to track website visitor traffic. We also use “cookie” messages to automatically help provide better services. Cookies remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you’ve done and told us before. They also let us track your usage of our Sites so we know which parts of our Site are most popular. You can reject cookies or cancel them by following the instructing your Web browser provides. 

HOW DO WE USE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

Texas CASA is the sole owner of the information collected on the Site. Personal information that you provide Texas CASA (such as your email address) may be used by Texas CASA in the following ways: 

• to contact you about your use of the Site or about our programs, services, products, activities or special events; 
• to advocate for children and otherwise further our mission; 
• to respond to your comments or requests; 
• to request feedback and to enable us to develop and improve the Site and our products and services; 
• for internal and marketing, promotional, informational and fundraising purposes; and 
• for the specific purpose for which the information was provided. 

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE SHARE WITH THIRD PARTIES?

We will not sell, share, or rent any personal information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. We may provide aggregate information (i.e., information we collect that does not allow you to be personally identified or contacted) to third parties without your authorization, such as information about your access and use of the Site. We may disclose personal information you provide to independent contractors, volunteers, agencies, service providers, and consultants who are engaged by or working with Texas CASA and who need access to such information to carry out their programs or services. For example, we may use credit card processing companies to process payments and outside shipping companies to ship orders. We may partner with other agencies or organizations to provide specific programs or services and will share information with them in order to facilitate their provision of such programs or services. We may also disclose personal information we have collected if we are required to do so by law or if in our good faith judgment, such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, to respond to any claims, or to protect the rights of Texas CASA, its constituents and the public. 

Please note: The Site may contain links to other sites. Texas CASA is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users/subscribers to be aware when they leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of every web site that collects personally identifiable information. Similarly, if you entered this Site through another Web site, Texas CASA is also not responsible for the privacy practices of that site, and you should review the privacy policy of the originating site before providing any personal information to that site. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by Texas CASA. 

WHAT STEPS DO WE TAKE TO PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION ONLINE?

We use reasonable precautions to protect user information online. For example, our employees’ computers are password protected, and we provide regular education to our employees regarding our security and privacy practices. We keep all data in secure data management software. When we collect credit card information we use a secure server with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption software that makes unauthorized access more difficult. 

HOW CAN YOU CORRECT AND UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

If you wish to verify, correct or delete any personal information, please contact us at communications@texascasa.org. 

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR INFORMATION?

You may “opt-out” of receiving communications from Texas CASA, except to the extent such information is necessary to complete any services or transactions you have entered into, by emailing us at communications@texascasa.org.
