Information We Collect
When ordering or registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, e-mail address, mailing address, or phone number. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.
We collect information from you when you register on our site, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, make a donation, respond to a survey or fill out a form. This collected information includes, but is not limited to, contact information, user information, donation history, and member preferences.
When you participate in telephone or video calls, we may record your voice or image for an educational or training purpose, but we do not store or save these recordings or information. When you enter our premises your image may be captured on video surveillance and we may collect certain health information for safety and security purposes. We do not store such information after your visit.
When you participate at in-person events, we may record and/or photograph events. This will be for the purpose of promoting services and providing educational resources. We maintain copyright and any other intellectual property in photographs taken and/or in digitized recordings belong to FWF. In return for access to the event, you consent to any such filming, photography and/or live streaming and to FWF in reproducing and publishing your words and/or likeness in any transcript of or publication relating to the event and/or for the purposes of publicizing the services of FWF and its partners.

When you attend one of our in-person events, we may collect contact information such as name, e-mail address, mailing address, or phone number.
When you visit a website, you disclose certain information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and the time of your visit. This site, like many other sites, records this basic information about visits to our Website.
What We Use Your Information For
Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
- To personalize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs)
- To improve our Website (we continually strive to improve our Website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you)
- To process transactions (Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased service requested.)
- To contact you regarding a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature
- To send periodic emails (The email address you provide for order processing will only be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your order unless you opt in to marketing communications).
How We Protect Your Information
We take appropriate security measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, whether in transmission or storage, when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.
We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and who are required to keep the information confidential.
After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.
Please keep in mind, however, that there is no such thing as perfect security, and no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free.
Do we use cookies?
Yes. As you use our Website some information can be “passively” collected using various technologies (including mobile devices), such as cookies, web beacons and navigational and location data collection (clickstream, log files, server logs). Your Internet browser automatically transmits some of this information, such as the URL of the website you just visited and the Internet Protocol (IP) address. Such technologies help us to keep track of your interactions with our Website e.g., the pages you view and links you click.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. We may contract with these other parties to market and serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. They may collect non-personal information about your visits to our website, and your interaction with our services. They may also use non-personal information about your visits to this and other websites to target advertisements for goods and services. These targeted advertisements may appear on other websites that you visit. The anonymous information is collected through the use of technology such as cookies and web beacons (an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, that is placed on a website or in an email that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the website or sending the email).
Do we use third parties for advertising and analytics?
We and/or third parties including service providers on our behalf, may use cookies, web beacons and other similar technology, to collect information from you such as your activities on the Website for the purposes described in this Policy including analytics, monitoring performance, and improvement of our Site (traffic, errors, page load time, popular pages, etc.)
Examples of our third-party service providers to help deliver our services or to connect to our services include:
- Google Analytics and Google Ads: We use Google Analytics to understand how our website, services, advertisements and products perform and how you use them. We have already entered into a service provider addendum with Google. However, if you would like to take additional precautions to opt out of Google Analytics and Ads, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google's Opt Out browser add on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and opt out of interest-based Google ads using https://adssettings.google.com/u/0/authenticated.To learn more about how Google processes your data, please visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
This Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, third-party cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technologies, which are covered by such third parties’ privacy policies. For more information, we encourage you to check the privacy policies of these third parties to learn about their privacy practices.
Do we collect personally identifiable information over time and across third-party websites or online services?

You can also let us know your preference later by contacting us as specified in the “Contact Us” section below. Keep in mind that these particular preferences do not mean that we might not contact you for other reasons, such as those related to a legally required notice and so on.
Retention of Personal Information

We will also retain your personal Information if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, and prevent fraud and abuse.
Do Not Track Notice: Because there are not yet common, industry accepted “do not track” standards and systems, our website does not respond to Do Not Track signals. In addition, we may allow third parties to collect personal Information from your activity on our website, as described in the “Information Collection and Use” section above.
Your Consent and Release
By using our site, you consent to our online privacy policy and release Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation, including its officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, of and from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit incurred in connection with all such claims), including but not limited to any actions or proceedings, whether known or unknown, and whether current, pre-existing, or arising hereafter, to the extent arising from, as a result of, or connected to, the unauthorized access and use of your personally identifiable information by unauthorized individuals or third parties unaffiliated with Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation. In entering into this release, you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise, including but not limited to California Civil Code § 1542) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release. California Civil Code § 1542 provides, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
