InnVision respects you privacy and is committed to protect the personal information that you share with us. Generally, you can browse through our website without giving us any information about yourself. When we do need you personal information to allow you to volunteer and or donate or when you choose to provide us with your personal information, this policy describes how we collect and use your personal information.

Information Collection

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information, title, birth date, gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, and other information.

When you browse our website, you do so anonymously. We don’t collect personal information, including your email address unless you register. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link you IP address to any personal information unless you have registered on our website. Like many other commercial websites, the InnVision website may use a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the site.

InnVision collects personal information when you register with InnVision, when you volunteer or donate to certain InnVision areas, when you register to attend an event, donate, volunteer or participate in an online survey, when you ask to be included in an email or other mailing list, or when you submit your information to InnVision for any other reason. From time to time, InnVision receives personal information from business partners and vendors. InnVision only uses such information if it has been collected in accordance with acceptable privacy practices consistent with this Policy and applicable laws.

Access to certain InnVision web pages may require that you register. Your personal information may be retained by InnVision to verify compliance with the agreement, to track downloaded information from those pages, or track usage of other applications available on those pages.

If you choose to provide us with your personal information, we may transfer that information, with InnVision or to an InnVision third party service provider, including across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.

We will always give you the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving direct marketing or marketing research information. This means we assume you have given us your consent to collect and use your information in accordance with this Policy unless you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not consent, for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate option or box at the point of collection. In some cases, when applicable, we will provide you with the opportunity to “opt in.” This means we will require your affirmative action to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes other than the purpose for which it was submitted.
