How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information
Registration and Purchase Information
When you purchase a product or service from us or register for membership, events, courses, or one of the other services we provide, our purchase and registration forms require users to give us personally identifiable information and personal data (collectively, “PII”) that may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. Text), mailing and billing addresses, telephone number, interests, and similar information. If you choose to complete the purchase or registration form, and in doing so provide personal information about yourself, ZERO TO THREE may use that information to fulfill your purchase, process your registration, provide you with customer service, track and analyze your engagement in ZERO TO THREE activities, and market products and services to you.
Payment Information
We do not request or store commercially sensitive/high-risk information from our visitors, such as credit card or Social Security numbers. In addition, we do not view or store payment card information you provide to us on our website. If you choose to pay for a product or service with a credit card or other bank information on our website, Stripe, a third-party payment processor, will process this information so that we can provide you with the product or service you request from us.
Special Categories of Information
We do not request information related to your political opinions, philosophical or religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, or biometric data. From time to time, we may request information on your ethnicity/race or data concerning health. Providing this information is always voluntary and we will obtain your consent before processing this data.
Your User Profile/Account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any passwords associated with your ZERO TO THREE account, and monitoring all activity under your account. You assume full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account (unless ZERO TO THREE is the direct cause of a security breach).
Communicating with Us
When you interact with ZERO TO THREE by email, telephone or in person, we may collect PII, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address and contact preferences; and information about your membership and the products you own and services you receive. We keep a record of your correspondence or comments, including Personal Information, in a file specific to you. We may use this information to help us provide you with better service in the event that you contact us again.
Tell-A-Friend
If users elect to use our referral service for informing a friend about ZERO TO THREE’s Websites, you confirm that you have consent from the relevant friend to provide ZERO TO THREE with your friend’s name and email address. ZERO TO THREE automatically will send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the Websites. ZERO TO THREE stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
How We Disclose Your Personal Information
ZERO TO THREE will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your PII to third parties unless such disclosure is necessary for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, by law or a policy or notice contained or associated with a specific ZERO TO THREE product or service. Unless you give us permission to do so, we will not share your PII with third parties other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.
Disclosures to Third Parties Assisting In Our Operations. We may share your PII under confidentiality agreements and any legally required data processing agreements with other companies that work with, or on behalf of, ZERO TO THREE to provide products and services, such as those who are providing email solutions, providing cloud hosting services, analyzing data and usage of the Websites, fulfilling bookstore orders, providing event registration support, hosting online content (such as online courses, webinars, podcasts, or e-books), providing community chat functionality, processing continuing education assessment, or providing support and maintenance services for the Website, as well as legal, regulatory, audit and other professional advisors. These companies may use your PII to assist us in our operations or for our legitimate business interests. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
Disclosures Under Special Circumstances. We may provide information about you, including PII, to respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal processes or governmental regulations or inquiries, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as otherwise required by law.
Other Parties with Your Consent or At Your Direction. In addition to the disclosures described in this Privacy Policy, we may share information about you with third parties when you consent to or request such sharing. Business Transfers. We may share your PII with other business entities in connection with the sale, assignment, merger or other transfer of all or a portion of ZERO TO THREE’s business to such business entity. We will require any such successor business entity to honor the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Automatically Collected Information and Anonymous Information Each time you visit a Website, ZERO TO THREE collects some information to improve the overall quality of your online experience.
Aggregated Data. ZERO TO THREE collects aggregate queries for internal reporting and also counts, tracks, and aggregates the visitor’s activity into ZERO TO THREE’s analysis of general traffic-flow at the Websites. To these ends, ZERO TO THREE may merge information about you into aggregated group data. In some cases, ZERO TO THREE may remove personal identifiers from PII and maintain it in aggregate form that may later be combined with other information to generate fully anonymous, aggregated statistical information. Such anonymous, group data may be shared on an aggregated basis with ZERO TO THREE’s affiliates, business partners, service providers and/or vendors; if it does so, ZERO TO THREE will not disclose your individual identity.
Web Server Logs and IP Addresses. An Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a number that automatically identifies the computer or device you have used to access the Internet. The IP address enables our server to send you the web pages that you want to visit, and it may disclose the server owned by your Internet Service Provider. ZERO TO THREE may use IP addresses to conduct Website analyses and performance reviews and to administer the Website, although it will not combine traffic data with user accounts.
Cookies. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to a user’s computer for purposes of storing information about a user’s preferences. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer. Many websites use cookies as a standard practice to provide useful features when a user visits the website and most web browsers are set up to accept cookies. ZERO TO THREE uses cookies to improve your online experience when visiting the Website. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but some portions of a Website or our product or service checkout process may not work properly if you refuse cookies. A session cookie is one that exists for the time period that your browser is open. A persistent cookie is one that is saved on your device/computer even after the browser is closed. Like many websites, we may use both session cookies and persistent cookies.
Web Beacons. Some of the Websites’ web pages may use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about Website usage. A web beacon is an electronic image (also referred to as an “action tag,” “single-pixel,” or “clear GIF”) that is commonly used to track the traffic patterns of users from one web page to another in order to maximize web traffic flow and to otherwise analyze the effectiveness of the Website. Some web beacons may be unusable if you elect to reject their associated cookies.
Analytics Data. ZERO TO THREE uses analytics data and the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our Websites. Site visitors may opt out of the DoubleClick cookie by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page or they may opt out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page. Google has additional information available about their Remarketing Privacy Guidelines, Policies, and Restrictions.
Response to “Do Not Track” Signals Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates, although web browsers incorporate and activate this functionality in different ways, and it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted. There currently is disagreement, including among participants in the leading Internet standards-setting organization, concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals. ZERO TO THREE currently does not take action in response to these signals, but, if and when a standard is established and accepted, we may reassess how to respond to these signals.
Children’s Privacy Protection
Under Age 16. ZERO TO THREE does not knowingly collect or retain personally identifiable information about persons under 16 years of age. Any person who provides their personal information to ZERO TO THREE via a Website represents that they are 16 years of age or older. The Websites do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information online from children under the age of 16 without prior verifiable parental consent. If we learn that a child under the age of 16 (or such legally required higher age) has submitted personally identifiable information online without parental consent, we will take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our databases and to not use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others as required or allowed by law). If you become aware of any personally identifiable information we have collected from children under 16, please contact us at gdpr@zerotothree.org.
Under Age 18. Minors under 18 years of age may have the PII that they have provided to us through the Websites deleted by contacting us at GDPR@zerotothree.org and requesting deletion. Please note that, while we make reasonable efforts to comply with such requests, deletion of your personal information does not ensure complete and comprehensive removal of that data from all our systems and back-up systems.
Security
ZERO TO THREE understands that storing our data in a secure manner is essential. ZERO TO THREE stores PII and other data using reasonable physical, technical and administrative safeguards to secure data against foreseeable risks, such as unauthorized use, access, disclosure, destruction or modification. All information that you transmit to ZERO TO THREE through the Websites is transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) encryption. We protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our Websites that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of ZERO TO THREE. Please note, however, that while ZERO TO THREE has endeavored to create secure and reliable websites for users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from the Website or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed.
Referrals/Links
The Websites may contain links to other websites. ZERO TO THREE is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those websites. Users should be aware of this when they leave our Website, and review the privacy statements of each third-party website. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Website. ZERO TO THREE maintains accounts on third-party websites, such as social media sites, as tools to better interact with the public. The security and privacy policies of third-party websites apply to your activity on those sites.
Privacy Settings/Opt Out/Changes/Access
If you would like your PII removed from our database, changed or updated, you can contact us at gdpr@zerotothree.org. If requested, we will promptly verify and delete your account and you will no longer receive emails from ZERO TO THREE. Your removal from the mailing list or database will not remove records of past transactions or delete information stored in our data backups and archives where we are required to keep your data for legitimate business or legal requirements. Data on past transactions and data stored in backups and archives will be deleted in the normal course of our business. You have the right to access or, if required by applicable laws, receive a copy of your PII held by us by making a written request by sending an email to gdpr@zerotothree.org.
Website Visitors from Outside the United States
ZERO TO THREE, its servers, and many of its data processors are located in the United States and are subject to the applicable laws of the United States (where data privacy laws are less stringent than in the European Union and some other jurisdictions). If you choose to access or use the Websites and our related products and services, you consent to the transfer, use and disclosure of information to the United States (or any other jurisdiction (as appropriate) that have been deemed not to provide an adequate level of protection for PII by the European Commission), in accordance with this Privacy Policy and subject to such applicable laws.
We will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to adequately protect the PII you provide to us, including by implementing appropriate technical and organizational security measures as well as appropriate contractual measures with data processors and other recipients of data to secure data transfers in the form of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission from time to time or such equivalent data transfer agreements or arrangements in compliance with the applicable law.
