This policy explains what types of information is collected by the Everyday Boston’s website, www.everydayboston.org, and how this information is used.
What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
Individuals that sign up to receive Everyday Boston e-communications and / or donate to Everyday Boston voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name, e-mail address, phone number, mailing address, payment details). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always "opt out," either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages.

Personal Information We Share
We do not disclose your personal information except as described in this Privacy Policy or as we disclose to you at the time the data is collected. Everyday Boston will share your personal information in certain situations:
Payment Processing. Everyday Boston uses third parties to provide credit card, bank, payment and information processing services. If you choose to make a payment online, by phone, through the mail, or by other means, we will share your personal information with our processing service providers. We authorize these service providers to use your personal information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We require these service providers by contract to safeguard the privacy and security of personal information they process on our behalf.
Contractors. Everyday Boston may use agents and contractors in order to help with our operations. These contractors are required by contract to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and by not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Everyday Boston.

IP addresses
Everyday Boston uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer www.everydayboston.org, and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.
Cookies
www.everydayboston.org uses "cookie" messages to automatically help provide better services. They remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you've done and told us before. The "cookie" is placed in your computer and is read when you come back to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you're particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of www.everydayboston.org, so we know which parts of our sites are most popular. You can reject cookies or cancel them by instructing your Web browser accordingly.
How Your Information May Be Used
We use your personal information to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; to process your donation; etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track visitors to our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve the community’s needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties
Information Security
We are committed to ensuring the privacy of your personal information and have established safeguards to help protect such information. All online monetary transactions are done on a secure server. This means that information entered on the transaction page is encrypted before transmission. Though we strive to ensure the security of your information on our systems, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
External Links
www.everydayboston.org includes links to external websites. These links do not fall under the www.everydayboston.org domain, and Everyday Boston is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites. Your use of any linked website is solely at your own risk.

We may amend this privacy policy from time to time; please review it periodically. We maintain the option to modify this privacy at any time by electronic notice posted on our website. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.
