How to update, correct, or delete your information:

  1. Information Gathered and Tracked: We collect two kinds of information about visitors: 


a) Information patrons volunteer by signing up to receive news and project reports, entering into program activities, completing surveys, or by donating funds. 
b) Aggregated tracking data (see #3 below) we collect when users interact with and navigate through our web pages. 

When you sign up to receive newsletters and/or program and organizational news material online, you must provide your name, email address, and mailing address. We will never sell, rent or trade your email address. 

We will attempt to fulfill your inquiries by email. Your name and address may also be added to our US Mail list. From time to time we will send additional information about particular charitable activities that may be of interest to you. 

Running Strong for American Indian Youth® may make use of commercial vendors to perform activities on our behalf, such as fulfilling mailing campaigns, processing credit card payments, managing mailing lists, and delivering packages. These parties are restricted from using your information for any other purpose than that for which they have been retained. We may exchange and/or rent our US Mail address list(s) for use by similar 501(c)(3) organizations we deem relevant and appropriate. For opt out information, see section 5 below. 

We release personal information when we believe that release is appropriate to comply with the law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the organization’s staff, our patrons, or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. 

3. Aggregated Tracking Information: We may analyze visitors’ use of our websites by tracking information such as page views, traffic flow, search terms, and click-throughs. We will use this information to improve our websites to better suit your informational needs. We may share this anonymous traffic and demographic information in aggregate form with our network sites and for-profit business partners for marketing purposes. Presently, we do not use web advertisements. If we get paid to place an ad on our sites we will not share any information with advertisers that can identify an individual visitor. 

Though we may use a third-party web analysis service to improve our website performance and visitor experience, no personally identifiable information, such as names or email address will be revealed to them. 

4. Our Cookies: A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser when you visit our sites. Cookies enable our systems to recognize your computer so that we can provide you unique information and features.
