with, our Services.
The Services may link to third-party websites, online
services, or mobile applications and/or contain advertisements from third
parties that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites,
services, or applications. Accordingly, we do not make any guarantee regarding
any such third parties, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused
by the use of such third-party websites, services, or applications. The
inclusion of a link towards a third-party website, service, or application does
not imply an endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of
data you provide to any third-party websites. Any data collected by third
parties is not covered by this Privacy Notice. We are not responsible for the
content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties,
including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or

contact them directly to respond to your questions.
6. DO WE USE COOKIES AND
OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies
and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web
beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services.
Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our
Services and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your
preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online
tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including
to help manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your
interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on your
communication preferences). The third parties and service providers use their
technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your
interests which may appear either on our Services or on other websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to
be a "sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted advertising,
as defined under the applicable laws) under applicable US state laws, you can
opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request as
described below under section "DO UNITED STATES
RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?"
Specific information about how we use such technologies and how
you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.
Google Analytics
We may share your information with Google Analytics to
track and analyze the use of the Services. The Google Analytics
Advertising Features that we may use include: Google Analytics
Demographics and Interests Reporting and Google Display Network
Impressions Reporting. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics
across the Services, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You
can opt out of Google Analytics Advertising Features through Ads Settings and
Ad Settings for mobile apps. Other opt out means include http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ and http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice. For
more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy &
Terms page.
7. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR
SOCIAL LOGINS?
In Short: If you choose to register
or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to
certain information about you.
Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using
your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or X logins).
Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about
you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary
depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your
name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other
information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes
that are described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to
you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not
responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party
social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to
understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how
you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
8. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR
INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information
for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this
Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is
necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer
retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or
other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us
keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in
which users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your
personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such
information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal
information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store
your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until
deletion is possible.
9. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR
INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your
personal information through a system of organizational and technical
security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical
and organizational security measures designed to protect the security
of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and
efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the
Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure,
so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third
parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access,
steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your
personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our
Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a
secure environment.
10. DO WE COLLECT
INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly
collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to
children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal
information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or
that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor
dependent¡¯s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from
users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the
account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our
records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children
under age 18, please contact us at admin@godsends.org.
11. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY
RIGHTS?
In Short: Depending on your
state of residence in the US or in some regions, such as the European
Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have
rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal
information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any
time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and
Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These
may include the right (i) to request access and
obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or
erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if
applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated
decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to
object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a
request by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the
section "HOW CAN
YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with
applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are
unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to
complain to your Member
State data protection authority or UK data protection authority.
If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data
Protection and Information Commissioner.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying
on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express
and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right
to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time
by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the
section "HOW CAN
YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below or
updating your preferences.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of
the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law
allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information
conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Opting out of marketing and promotional communications: You can
unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time
by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send, or by
contacting us using the details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US
ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below. You will then be removed from the marketing
lists. However, we may still communicate with you — for example, to send you
service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of
your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing
purposes.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or
affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to
subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All
other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and
consent; this information will not be shared with third parties.
Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the
information in your account or terminate your account, you can:
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate
or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we
may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot
problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply
with applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most
Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can
usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If
you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain
features or services of our Services. You may also opt out
of interest-based advertising by advertisers on our Services.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you
may email us at admin@godsends.org.
12. CONTROLS FOR
DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile
applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you
can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your
online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform
technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has
been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser
signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not
to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must
follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised
version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web
browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal
standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not
respond to them at this time.

RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: If you are a resident
of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon,

to and receive details about the personal information we maintain about you and
