Privacy Policy

SCOPE OF OUR PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to being transparent about how and why we collect, use, and share your information.

This Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect on www.catchafire.org (our “Site”) and through any of the services we provide on or in relation to our Site (our “Services”).

This policy covers users who have registered accounts on our Site (“Members”) and non-registered users who visit our Site or engage with any of our Services (“Visitors”).

Throughout this policy, the term “Users” refers to both Members and Visitors, and the terms “Catchafire”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to Catchafire, Inc.

Our Services include the specific features offered on our Site, as well as off-Site activities including customer support, nonprofit advisor services, in-person events, information sessions, and other similar activities that support our mission of connecting skilled individuals with nonprofits and social good organizations for mutually meaningful and impactful volunteer experiences.

We only collect information about you that we need in order to provide our Services. We never have, and never will, collect information about you that is not related to our ability to provide our Services.

This policy also covers our data sharing practices with third party providers that we may contract with in order to provide our Services (“Authorized Third Parties”). The specific data that we share with Authorized Third Parties, or information that you choose to share with Authorized Third Parties on our Site or via any of our Services, however, is subject to the Privacy Policies of those Authorized Third Parties, and is not covered by our Privacy Policy.

In addition, as with any website or internet service, there is a chance that your information may be accessed unlawfully by third parties (“Unauthorized Third Parties”), and while we take every reasonable measure to prevent unauthorized access, this Privacy Policy does not cover data obtained by Unauthorized Third Parties

Please note that your use of the Site and any of our Services is subject to our Terms of Use, which you may access at the bottom of our homepage. If you do not agree with our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use, do not access our Site or use our Services. If you wish to deactivate your account, please email us at help@catchafire.org.

What this means: We collect certain personal information from you in order to provide our Services. We want you to understand how we collect your information, and what we do with it.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect two types of information from Users: personally identifiable information ("PII"), and non-personally identifiable information ("Non-PII").

PII consists of personal information that can be used by itself to identify you specifically as an individual. For example, you may submit and we may collect your name, email address, ZIP code, phone number, or similar information through our Site or Services.

Non-PII consists of information that cannot by itself be used to identify you specifically as an individual. Examples of Non-PII that we may collect on our Site include, but may not be limited to, your browser type, pages viewed, length of time spent, and the content with which you engaged on our Site, such as project listings, applications and user-to-user messages. This information helps us improve your experience with our Site and Services.

The following section describes how we collect and use your information.

What this means: The information we collect about you on our Site and via our Services is used to provide our Services and improve your user experience. Only some of this information is considered PII, which means it could be used on its own to identify you specifically as an individual.

HOW WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR INFORMATION

Information you provide to us and who can see it

When you create an account with Catchafire (i.e., when you register and become a Member) you may provide personal information about yourself, such as your name, email address, phone number, ZIP Code, job title, profile image, and work experience.

If you register as a staff member of an organization, you may also provide information about your organization and your role at the organization, such as your organization’s cause area, number of staff members, operating budget, and other similar information. We may use this additional information to personalize and enhance your user experience on our Site and with any of our Services, and to help match you with the best possible volunteer for your needs. In addition, if you are registering as an organization you may be required to provide credit card information in order to pay for your organization’s membership. Please note that organizations registering for a foundation or corporate partnership program are not required to provide any payment or credit card information.

If you register as a volunteer, you may also provide information about yourself such as cause areas you are passionate about, your professional skills, your work experience, and any biographical information that you wish to share. We may use this additional information to personalize and enhance your user experience on our Site and with any of our Services, and to help match you with the best possible volunteer opportunity.

Some of the personal information we collect, including your name, email address, and phone number, is required in order to create an account and use our Site. Other personal information is optional, but not required. You may also choose how much detail to provide to us. For example, Users who register as volunteers must provide at least one current or prior work experience or academic program, but may choose to provide their full academic and professional experience. Providing more detail enhances your experience with our Site and Services.

When you use our Site or any of our Services, we may also collect information about what you do on our Site, such as which projects you post or apply to, testimonials you write for volunteers or organizations you have worked with, and which other Members you interact with. We may use this information to enhance your user experience and to personalize our Services. An example is that when you contact customer support, we may look up your recent activity in order to better assist you.

Certain personal information of Members, such as last name and contact details, is only made available to other Members, and only when required to provide our Services. For example, in order to facilitate a match between a volunteer and an organization for the purpose of completing a volunteer project or phone consultation, we provide each Member with the contact information of the other Member.

Limited personal information of Members may be available to Visitors. For example, information such as your first name, organization or employer name, professional skills, work experience, and profile image may be displayed publicly on our Site so that organizations and volunteers can understand how the Site and Services work.

Volunteer opportunities posted by organizations on our Site may be also displayed on other Authorized Third Party websites, such as LinkedIn or, under certain circumstances, via other affiliated organizations that have partnered with us to provide skilled volunteer opportunities. We enable these integrations in order to provide our Services, and in support of our mission of providing individuals with the opportunity to use their skills and talents for the greater good.

We only ask for, collect, and share the personal information that we need in order to provide our Services, and we take all reasonable actions to keep your personal information secure.

We do not share your PII with third-party advertisers, and we do not display third-party advertisements to you anywhere on our Site or through any of our Services.

You can change or remove your personal information at any time by logging into your account and following the prompts to modify your profile, or by contacting us at help@catchafire.org. You can also deactivate your account at any time by contacting us.

What this means: You provide personal information in order to create your account and to take full advantage of our Site and Services. We may share some of this information with other registered Members for the sole purpose of providing our Services. We may also share limited personal information about you with non-registered Visitors.

Cookies, beacons, and log files

Like most websites, we use cookies and other technologies, including web beacons, to recognize you in order to enhance your user experience. Web beacons and cookies collect information such as URLs you came from and go to, your browser and operating system information, your IP address, your mobile provider, and your mobile device. Cookies can enhance your online experience by saving your preferences and password, so you do not have to re-enter this information each time you visit the Site.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can configure your browser to stop accepting new cookies, to notify you when you a new cookie is received, and to delete existing cookies. If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, however, you may be unable to take full advantage of all the Site’s features.

When you are using our Site, we also gather basic information (log files) from your browser, which may include your IP address, browser type, ISP, and date/time stamps. We may collect these data in order to analyze trends, administer the site, identify bugs, and gather broad demographic information. We do not and will not share log files externally.

What this means: By continuing to use this site you agree to the use of cookies.

Information from other web sites

When associating your Catchafire account with other Authorized Third Parties you have an account with, we will collect any information that you make available from those accounts. We collect this information to improve our Services and your user experience on the Site. For example, you can choose to connect your LinkedIn account so that you can import your work experience and profile image to your Catchafire profile, instead of entering it in manually.

What this means: We collect information from your accounts with Authorized Third Party websites and companies when you choose to associate those accounts with your Catchafire account. Our supported integrations with Authorized Third Parties, such as LinkedIn, are designed to enhance your experience with our Site and Services.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO OTHERS

Opt-in requirement

Without your affirmative consent, we will not share your PII with other third parties, except in specific circumstances where we contract with an Authorized Third Party provider (described in this section), and unless required as described under the Required Disclosures section below. In the case of posting a volunteer opportunity and accepting a volunteering match, we regard this as affirmative consent and will disclose your PII, which includes your full name and contact information, with the matched party.

At times we may outsource one or more aspects of our Site or Services to a supplier or service provider who performs services according to our requirements, and these Authorized Third Parties may have access to your PII. For example, in order to facilitate phone calls between Members, we may contract with a third party communications provider, and that provider would require the Member’s phone number in order to perform the required service.

Although we endeavor to select only reputable companies who share our commitment to privacy and will restrict how they use or disclose the PII to which they have access, we are in no way responsible for Authorized Third Parties or their activities. When you use our Site or any of our Services you agree to allow us to share your information, which may include your PII, with Authorized Third Party suppliers and service providers when it is necessary in order for us to provide our Services to you.

Due to factors beyond our control, we cannot fully ensure that your information will not be disclosed to Unauthorized Third Parties. For example, Unauthorized Third Parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access your information. Certain information that you provide to us through the registration process (such as name, location, and profile image) could be accessible and made public through syndication programs, search engines, crawlers, and other similar programs.

What this means: We will never share your PII without your affirmative consent, except in cases where we contract with Authorized Third Party providers in order to provide our Services, or in cases outlined in the Required Disclosures section below. And although we do our very best to protect your data, we can’t guarantee that your information will never be accessed unlawfully by Unauthorized Third Parties.

Required disclosures

We make every reasonable effort to preserve your privacy, but we may need to disclose your information when required by law, or if we believe that such action is necessary to:

• Enforce our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use;
• Comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process;
• Conduct a merger, acquisition or sale (including any transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving Catchafire or as part of a corporate reorganization, stock or asset sale, or other change in corporate control; or
• Protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Catchafire, its Members, or others.

You authorize us to disclose any information about you to law enforcement or government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe is necessary or appropriate, in connection with any investigation of illegal activity or that may expose us to liability.

What this means: We may need to share your personal information when it is required by law, as part of a major corporate transaction, or to help protect the rights and safety of you, us, or others.

HOW TO REVIEW AND CHANGE INFORMATION

You can control the information you provide to us in various ways. You can change your personal profile information at any time by logging in to your account and editing your profile. You can, for example, modify your name, email address, profile image, and other personal information. You can also contact us for assistance with changing or removing any of your information, or to request a copy of your information.

If you are registered as a volunteer, you may also control when your profile information is displayed to other Members in the context of recommending you for a specific volunteer opportunity by changing your status, which you can do by logging in to your account and modifying your profile settings.

To deactivate your account, send an email request to help@catchafire.org from the email address that is currently associated with your account.
