Collection, Use and Retention of Personal Information

When you contact us, we collect your name, email address, and other contact information that you provide. We use this to communicate with you, including sending marketing information to you. 

When you ask to join the BlackLight Network we collect information about your business which may include your name and contact details. This information will be used to help connect consumers with your business.

When you make a donation, we collect payment information including your billing address and credit card number. We use this information only to process your donation. Once your transaction has been completed, your credit card number is not retained.

When you visit our website, depending on your settings, we may collect cookies and data from similar technologies about your device and use of our services. We use this to run and improve our website, content, and services. You can control your cookie preferences in the cookie banner at the bottom of our website or in your web browser's privacy settings menu.

We use this information to perform our services, with your consent, or to pursue our legitimate interests, like keeping you informed about our activities. 

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to carry out these purposes. 

Sharing of Personal Information

We use third-party service providers, to operate some aspects of our website and services and they may have access to personal information for the purpose of performing the required function. We take data protection into account when selecting our service providers. We, and our principal service providers, are in the United States, so personal information is processed outside the E.U.—in the U.S. and elsewhere.

We may transfer user data to a new owner, or in connection with a corporate transaction such as a reorganization or dissolution, so long as the transferee agrees to abide by the terms of this Privacy Policy. We may also be required to disclose user data if required to do so by law. Except as described in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, we will not disclose or sell your user data without your consent.

Data Rights

You can withdraw your consent to process your data at any time and you may have additional rights under local law to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. To exercise a data right, please contact us by email at (privacy@shop4betterworld.org). 

How We Protect Personal Information

We and our third-party service providers maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information, and conduct ongoing monitoring, training, auditing, and improvement of such measures.

All financial transactions on our website and microsites, specifically donations and subscriptions, are processed on secure pages. All transactions use an encrypted channel, take place on secure servers and occur in real time. 

Changes to this Privacy Policy

From time to time we may need to change the terms of this Privacy Policy to conform with changes to our services or legal requirements. We reserve the right to make such changes at any time and encourage you to review this Privacy Policy each time you visit our website or use our services, to make sure you understand our current policy on collecting and using personal information.
