PRIVACY POLICY:

Effective Date: August 17, 2022

This Privacy Policy applies to both personal and non-personal information which the Delbarton School (“DELBARTON”) may collect and use depending on how you choose to interact with websites which are owned or operated by DELBARTON, including without limitation www.delbarton.org, as well as any other website owned or operated by DELBARTON currently or in the future and any and all website-related services and platforms (collectively the “Website”). The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to enable you to determine the manner in which such information is collected, used, stored, and disclosed by DELBARTON.

Please also refer to the Mandatory Terms of Use, which are expressly incorporated as if fully recited herein, if you have not already done so. Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms have the meanings they are assigned in the Mandatory Terms of Use.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION:

DELBARTON does not collect any information unless you provide such information to DELBARTON. Generally, the functionality of the Website, excluding the Restricted Platforms, is such that it may be accessed and browsed for informational purposes without providing any information to DELBARTON. DELBARTON collects certain information received by you pursuant to the policies outlined below.

Personal Information:

DELBARTON does not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntary submit such information in order to access or utilize a certain feature of the Website. For example, DELBARTON may collect personal information when you choose to utilize certain features on the website including, without limitation, accessing links found under the “Contact Us” tab, communicating with us by phone or e-mail, engaging in the registration process to create a personal user profile on the Alumni Portal, logging into WaveNet or other Restricted Platform, making a donation to DELBARTON via the Online Fund, or submitting an application for admission to DELBARTON online.

When interacting with the Website in such a manner, you may supply certain data capable of personally identifying you, including without limitation, your name, telephone number, mailing address, email address or other online contact information, credit card or other financial information, date of birth, and other similarly identifying information (“Personal Information”). Any such Personal Information will be used, stored, and disclosed only as permitted by this Privacy Policy.

Non-Personal Information:

DELBARTON may collect other, non-personal information about your activity on and interactions with this Website based on your voluntary submission of such information via posting it to the Website. DELBARTON is under no obligation to you or any third party with respect to maintaining the confidentiality of any such Submission.


USE:

Non-personal information may be used by DELBARTON for any purpose. If you submit Personal Information to the Website, the information will be used for the purpose you requested, for which it is collected, or for any purpose you subsequently authorize. Submission of Personal Information allows DELBARTON to administer certain programs and services in which you choose to participate, fulfill requests made by you concerning admission, donations, or general inquiries, and enables DELBARTON to provide you with access to certain features of the Website maintained exclusively for students or alumni, and not the general public. The collection of Personal Information also allows DELBARTON to communicate with you regarding the provision of such programs and services, as well as other news concerning DELBARTON. You agree that DELBARTON may contact You by phone, fax, mail or electronic means. You may opt out of such communications at any time.

STORAGE:

Personal Information provided by you to DELBARTON may be stored and maintained by DELBARTON. DELBARTON employs commercially reasonable measures, including industry-standard encryption, to secure such information. However, credit card information you provide in connection with your use of the Online Fund is never stored by DELBARTON. While DELBARTON engages in technological efforts to maintain the security of your data, you should not assume that DELBARTON is able to safeguard your Personal Information at all times and in all circumstances.

DISCLOSURE:

Non-personal information may be disclosed by DELBARTON for any purpose. DELBARTON may share Personal Information with third parties to fulfill your request, to comply with our obligations under any applicable laws or regulations, or to provide other services that may be of interest to you. DELBARTON may also use such information to provide you with additional information in the future that it deems may be of interest to you. In addition, DELBARTON may share information with trusted third party service providers to help us fulfill your request, facilitate the processing of donations, perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, contact you by phone or fax, respond to requests made by you, or to provide other services to DELBARTON or Website users. Such third parties have access to the Personal Information required to perform the desired function and are prohibited from using such information for other purposes.

When you make a financial contribution to DELBARTON via the Online Fund, the credit card and any other financial information provided by you is used solely for the purpose of immediately processing your donation. Online contributions to DELBARTON are processed by Blackbaud, a third-party service provider, whose terms regarding use, storage and disclosure you should familiarize yourself with prior to making a donation. DELBARTON does not retain a copy of your credit card information.

Furthermore, DELBARTON may disclose any Personal Information or non-personal information collected to the extent it reasonably believes that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, such as in response to any subpoena, to enforce our Mandatory Terms of Use, to the extent reasonably necessary to establish or defend a legal claim, and for other purposes permitted by applicable law. Additionally, any such information may be transferred to a third party in the event of a sale, acquisition, merger or bankruptcy involving DELBARTON or any subsidiary or section thereof.

If you do not wish for DELBARTON to disclose your information in accordance with this policy, please do not submit any Personal Information to DELBARTON. If you believe special circumstances warrant special treatment of your Personal Information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT:

Although DELBARTON is a 501(c) Charitable Non-Profit Organization exempt from the requirements of the Federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), DELBARTON is committed to the protection of the online privacy of individuals under the age of 13 (“Children”) as well as parental control over information collected from Children online.

Access to certain portions of the Website, including without limitation the WaveNet platform, is restricted to current and former students, faculty, and staff of DELBARTON (the “Restricted Platforms”) solely for the benefit of these individuals and the DELBARTON community and not for any commercial purpose. Access to the Restricted Platforms is conditioned upon a user entering a DELBARTON-issued username and determining a password. The Restricted Platforms are internally hosted by DELBARTON, and the username and password provided to gain access thereto are used by DELBARTON solely to authenticate the user for internal operating purposes. Username and password information is not disclosed or otherwise made accessible to any third party entity, or made publicly available. Parents or guardians of users under 13 are encouraged to monitor their child’s use of the Restricted Platforms and any material posted thereon. Should the parent or guardian of an individual accessing the Restricted Platform seek to prohibit further access from same, he or she should not hesitate to contact DELBARTON.

The DELBARTON Website also provides a platform that enables certain users, other than Children, to make a financial contribution to DELBARTON online (the “Online Fund”). DELBARTON does not permit children to make contributions using the Online Fund and therefore does not collect or use the personal information of Children in its operation of the Online Fund.

The personal information of Children is collected by DELBARTON if an application for admission to DELBARTON is submitted online. Such applications may only be submitted by the parents or guardians of children, and the information provided therein is used solely for the purpose of considering the candidate for admission to DELBARTON.

Parents or guardians who are concerned about information possibly submitted to DELBARTON by their Children should contact webmaster@delbarton.org and someone will promptly assist in the removal of such data.

REVISIONS TO THE PRIVACY POLICY:

The Internet and the benefits it offers are evolving rapidly, as are the ways in which people use the Internet and the laws surrounding such use.
