This website privacy policy describes how Scottish Rite for Children (“Scottish Rite,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) may collect, use, or disclose personal information including through websites that link to this privacy policy, such as http://www.scottishriteforchildren.org/ and https://plannedgiving.scottishriteforchildren.org/ (collectively, the “Services”). Please read this privacy policy before using the Services or submitting any personal information. By using the Services, you are acknowledging the practices described in this privacy policy.
Privacy of Patient Information
Please note, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) regulates and limits the use and disclosure of your protected health information, such as information gathered in the treatment of Scottish Rite patients. For details on how Scottish Rite protects the privacy of its patients, please see our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Personal Information Gathered on the Scottish Rite Website
While you are visiting the Services, Scottish Rite generally collects two types of information about users: “Personal Information” (such as name, email address, mailing address, phone, credit card or debit card, personal preferences and other account-related information) and “Aggregate Information” (such as information about how many users log on to the website on a daily basis). Aggregate Information does not personally identify a specific user.
We may collect Personal Information when you request information, purchase our products or services, submit an application to volunteer, donate, or otherwise use the Services.
We may use “Cookies” to collect certain information. For example, Cookies may contain information to remind the website of you the next time you visit. We may use Cookies to provide functionality to the Services, track usage, help us route traffic between servers, customize your experience when you are visiting the website, and for advertising purposes. By tracking usage, Scottish Rite can best determine what features of the website best serve the users.
Certain advertising tracking technology vendors may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) AdChoices Program and may display an Advertising Option Icon for Interest-based Ads that links to an opt-out tool which allows you to exercise certain choices regarding targeting. You can learn more about the DAA AdChoices Program at http://www.youradchoices.com/. In addition, certain advertising networks and exchanges we work with may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). The NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt-out of certain ads delivered by the NAI members’ ad networks. To learn more about opting out of such targeted advertising or to use the NAI tool, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt-out of certain kinds of interest-based ads, you may continue to receive non-targeted ads.
You may be able to adjust your browser settings to remove or reject Cookies. Some browsers may have a “Do Not Track” setting. Please note that the Services are not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” settings.

Disclosure of Personal Information
As a general policy, Scottish Rite does not share, sell or trade Personal Information with nonaffiliated third parties without permission from the user; however, Scottish Rite will provide your Personal Information to third parties directly involved in the marketing, sale, operation, performance, support and/or maintenance of the website or our Services. This may include our website designers, hosts, service providers, technical consultants and business partners. Scottish Rite also may disclose Personal Information if such information is required for us to comply with any valid legal process (such as a subpoena, search warrant, statute or court order) or if Scottish Rite reasonably believes that you have or will commit unlawful acts or acts that may endanger the health or safety of another user or of the general public.
Retention of Personal Information
Scottish Rite will retain your Personal Information for fulfillment of the intended purposes for which such Personal Information is collected. We may also retain your Personal Information as otherwise required or permitted by applicable laws or regulations.
Security
Scottish Rite maintains commercially reasonable safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of your Personal Information. Such security safeguards are intended to be appropriate to the sensitivity of the Personal Information collected. In particular, Scottish Rite requires that a secure session be established using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) protocol when you submit Personal Information to us through your use of the Services to establish an account, use the shopping cart, input credit card or debit card information for payment, and access certain product pages.
While we implement security measures designed to be appropriate to the relevant risks, please note no data transmission over the internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed as 100% secure.
Lack of Confidentiality of Information Provided to Scottish Rite
When sending Scottish Rite emails, please do not send Scottish Rite any confidential or proprietary information. Please note that your email, like most nonencrypted internet communications, may not be 100% secure. Any feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas or similar information that you send to Scottish Rite via the internet will be treated as nonconfidential and nonproprietary. Further, you agree that any such information may be reproduced, used and distributed by Scottish Rite for any purpose without restriction or payment.
External Link Disclaimer
For your convenience, the Scottish Rite Services may provide links to websites operated by third parties. Scottish Rite does not operate, control or endorse any information, products or services provided by third-party websites. Scottish Rite is not responsible for the content and performance of third-party websites. Please know that if you choose to utilize such third-party websites, your use is at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy
Scottish Rite does not knowingly solicit information from children or knowingly market to children. Scottish Rite is concerned about the safety of children and their use of the internet. In the event that Scottish Rite receives actual knowledge that it has collected such information from a child, Scottish Rite will delete that information as quickly as is reasonably practical.
Updates to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to make changes to this privacy policy. Any changes to this privacy policy will be posted as indicated by the “Last Updated” date. It is your obligation to ensure that you read and understand the latest version of this privacy policy.
