THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT: Depending on the type of communication or transaction, the personal information we collect may include, but is not limited to, your name, postal address, zip code, telephone number, organization name, e-mail address, credit card, bank information or billing information.

WHERE AND WHEN WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION: You will be asked to provide your personal information when making donations, requesting communications, applying for a job with Bridging The Divide and/or in connection with other Bridging The Divide business (whether it is via the website, e-mail, direct mail or telephone communications).

WE DO NOT KNOWINGLY COLLECT INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN: We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to provide us with their personal information. If you are under 18, do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address. In the event we learn that we collected personal information from anyone under the age of 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about anyone under the age of 18, please contact us at info@bridging-the-divide.org.

INFORMATION SECURITY: Bridging The Divide has a layered security in our systems and only designated employees have access to hard copies of your personal information. All on-line transactions are done via Paypal on a secure server. This means that information entered on the transaction page is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) before transmission. Donation pages are verified by Verisign.

BRIDGING THE DIVIDE MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION: Personal information will be shared internally at Bridging The Divide to complete your donations, to contact you about our on-going work, discuss employment opportunities and ways that you can further support our efforts to help civil societies building peace. Your personal information will also be used to provide you access to the various sections of our website that have been personalized for your needs. Bridging The Divide may share, rent or exchange donor names and postal address with third parties. Except in the limited circumstances outlined below, Bridging The Divide will never intentionally share your e-mail addresses, phone numbers or financial information.

EXCEPTIONS: Bridging The Divide reserves the right to share your personal information in certain situations:

  • Credit Card Transactions, Electronic Fund Transfers, Payments by Check or Money Order and On-line Transactions. Bridging The Divide hires third parties to provide credit card, bank, payment and information processing services and order fulfillment services. If you choose to make an application for employment, make a donation on-line, by phone, through the mail or by other means, we will share your personal information with our processing service providers. We make an effort to require all third party service-providers to hold personal information in strict confidence. While we believe these other companies are upstanding and will treat your personal information responsibly, we do not own or control them and cannot guarantee your privacy.

  • Necessity. If we have reason to believe that there has been some inappropriate interference with or use of our website, communications, charitable services or personal or real property (for example, see the Terms of Use and Linking Agreement), or if we have reason to believe that one of the Bridging The Divide website users, donors, employees or other related parties may have been injured or may have harmed some other party, we will disclose, without notice to you, personal information as we deem appropriate or if compelled by a legal or regulatory authority.

  • Merger, Acquisition or other Corporate Restructure. We also may transfer your personal information to a third party successor in interest if we are involved in an acquisition, merger or other transfer of control or sale of assets.

  • You may always change your privacy settings by contacting us at info@bridging-the-divide.org.
