Privacy Policy

The Alberico Scholarship Foundation is deeply concerned about protecting your privacy and safety. Therefore, before you move further into our site, here is how the Foundation safeguards your online experience.

Summary

This Privacy Policy describes the following:

  • What personal information is collected by the Foundation
  • How the Foundation uses and discloses this information

Personal Information

This site collects no personally identifying information about you except when you knowingly and specifically provide it to us. We do not share, rent, trade, or sell any of the personal information you provide with non-related third parties. We may disclose your personal information without your consent if we are required to by law or if the Foundation has reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone damaging, injuring, or interfering with our rights, property, or users.

Technological Information

The Foundation collects aggregate information site-wide, including anonymous site stats. We also log domain names and/or IP (Internet provider) addresses. We review and discard some information (e.g., IP address logs for file transfers), while we might use some information to tailor your Web experience or generate anonymous statistics.

IP Addresses

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you surf the Web. The Foundation recognizes your browser, your operating system, and your IP address. We do this so we can diagnose site problems and track traffic patterns. This gives the Foundation an idea which parts of our site you are visiting. However, we do not link your IP address to anything that could personally identify you. This means your session will be tracked, but you will remain anonymous.

Cookies

Cookies are found at most major Web sites. Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web site transfers to your computer for record-keeping purposes (such as retaining login account information). We reserve the right to use cookies.

Other Sites

The Foundation products may contain links to other carefully chosen sites. However, the Foundation cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. You should review the privacy policy of each specific site.

Security

Please note that sending data over the Internet is never completely secure. Although we will endeavor to fully protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of the data you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this policy at any time. If our policy changes, we will post a notice on our site.

Accountability

If you have any questions about our policy, contact the Alberico Scholarship Foundation, scholarship@albericoscholar.com.

Applicant & Donor Privacy Information

The Alberico Scholarship Foundation collects and maintains the following types of donor & applicant information when it is voluntarily provided to us:
  • contact information such as name, address, telephone number and e-mail address;
  • a donor’s giving information;
  • an applicant’s eligibility requirements and financial need information;
  • information on events attended and special requests for information;
  • information provided by the donor or applicant in the form of comments and suggestions.

This confidential information is kept on file for IRS purposes. It is also used to analyze overall giving patterns in order to make more accurate budget projections as well as to understand donors’ interests in our mission and to update them on the organization’s plans and activities. This information is shared with key staff, board members and consultants only on a confidential and need-to-know basis.

List Sharing

The Alberico Scholarship Foundation does not sell, rent, trade or share its donor list with any other organization, and never sends out mailings on behalf of other organizations.

Discontinuing Contact Upon Request

It is the Foundation’s policy to communicate with donors according to their expressed preferences whenever possible, and will discontinue or change the method used to contact any person upon that person’s oral or written request directed to the organization, its professional fundraiser, or other agent. Upon a person’s (or a person’s authorized representative’s) request that the Alberico Scholarship Foundation discontinue further contacts, the person’s name and address will be promptly modified in the Foundation’s database to ensure that no further contact is made with the person. The Foundation will also take steps to ensure that no further contact is made with the individual and that the person’s name is removed from any external databases or records under the Alberico Scholarship Foundation’s control. Oral requests will be noted in writing by the staff of the Alberico Scholarship Foundation and then permanently recorded in the electronic donor database. The records of persons who have made such a request will be maintained by the Alberico Scholarship Foundation to the extent necessary for legal or liability purposes.
