Privacy Policy

Fortitude’s Commitment To Privacy

Your privacy is very important to Fortitude. We value your support and respect your privacy. To demonstrate our commitment to protecting your rights, we created this privacy policy to explain how we treat the information you provide us through your use of our website. This policy may be changed at any time, in which case the revised Privacy Policy will apply to information we receive after the date the revised Privacy Policy is posted.

Information Fortitude Collects and Use of Such Information

In connection with your use of our website, we sometimes collect non-personally identifiable information about you such as your IP address and the web pages you visit. We may also send “cookies” to your computer. A “cookie” is a small text file sent to your computer and stored on its hard drive that helps us recognize repeat visitors, facilitate each visitor’s ongoing access to and use of our site, and track usage behavior. We use “cookies” and collect other non-personally identifiable information to enhance your browsing experience. We may also collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, and/or payment and billing information. Fortitude does not collect personally identifiable information about you unless you provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. This information is only used by Fortitude to contact you with messages that are related to your interest in Fortitude. Other privacy practices may apply to information you provide to us through other channels.

This website uses the Google AdWords service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an inquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Fortitude website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.

Fortitude Does Not Sell or Otherwise Distribute Information We Collect

Fortitude does not disclose personal information to any third parties unless required to do so by law. We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share mailing lists or database information.

Fortitude Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, Fortitude has put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. This information is not available to the public and Fortitude’s personnel are dedicated to maintaining and upholding your privacy and security.

Links to Other Sites

Fortitude provides links to other websites that may contain information of interest to our visitors. Fortitude takes no responsibility for and exercises no control over, third-party organizations’ privacy policies, security practices, views, or the accuracy of any information contained on other such sites.

Donor Privacy Policy

Fortitude is committed to respecting the privacy of its financial and in-kind donors, whether the donation is made online, by mail, or any other method. We will not sell, share or trade our donors’ names or personal information with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations unless a donor has given us specific permission to do so.

Credit card transactions on the Fortitude website are processed by WePay. WePay uses a secure cloud architecture, strong encryption, strict access requirements, and multiple security measures to protect sensitive data. The transactions are governed by WEPAY PRIVACY POLICY. Fortitude may communicate with you by sending electronic quarterly newsletters or other email notices. Some of these services are provided by Constant Contact and are governed by CONSTANT CONTACT’S PRIVACY POLICY. Fortitude will only send these messages to you if you have expressed an interest in the organization. If you received a message in error, or no longer wish to receive communications from Fortitude, you may opt-out of future mailings by selecting “unsubscribe” at the bottom of each message.

To the extent any donations are processed through a third-party service provider, our donors’ information will only be used for purposes necessary to process the donation.

 Changes to Fortitude’s Privacy Policy

If Fortitude decides to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to our homepage, this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
