Privacy Policy

Your privacy and your trust and the security of any information you do provide us are all important to Coro Pittsburgh (Coro). This statement describes Coro’s privacy practices for its own Web site (but not for a linked website), including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared.

[spoiler title=”What Information We Collect” open=”0″ style=”1″]

You can visit Coro’s website without telling us who you are and without revealing any information about yourself. However, to access certain portions of the website, you may have to submit information such as user-id and password, or to access some services we provide, you may have to give us personal information such as your name and address and e-mail.

When registering on the Coro website, we may also ask you to choose a security question to answer (such as your mother’s maiden name). This required information is necessary to process transactions securely, issue a new password if you forget or lose your password, and protect you against credit card fraud.

Coro’s site may contain surveys or polls and other forms for collecting information. Coro may publish aggregate results to such surveys on its website or in other media.

We may share Personal Information with our consultants or service providers who help us operate more efficiently and serve our stakeholders better. We also contract other companies and individuals (collectively “Suppliers”) to perform functions on our behalf, including without limitation, providing service for our website hosting, processing credit card payments, engaging in fundraising, sending communications to you, and providing customer services. (We require the Suppliers to keep your Personal Information confidential and only use your Personal Information to the extent necessary to perform their functions and not for any other purpose.)

To access donor transaction programs, we may ask you for your address and/or credit card information. Donations that are made to Coro on the Site are processed via a third-party payment gateway which is responsible for maintaining security of transactions. Our policy is that Credit / Debit card details will only be retained by the party providing the payment services and its affiliated bank only until payment for your donation is processed. In the case of a suspected fraudulent transaction, card details may be disclosed for the sole purpose of performing further checks. Documentation such as charitable receipt information may be retained as a necessary part of recordkeeping and reporting for tax exempt purposes, notifications and disclosures.
