The Halpern ALS Initiative ("the Initiative") operates the websites halpernals.org. It is the Halpern ALS Initiative's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information collected while operating this website.
Website Visitors
Like most websites, the Halpern ALS Initiative collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, referring search terms, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use this website. For more information on website metrics, please read the Squarespace Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to the website choose to interact with the Halpern ALS Initiative in ways that require the gathering of personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that the Halpern ALS Initiative gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, visitors who sign up for emails are asked to provide their name and email address. In each case, the Halpern ALS Initiative collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction. The Halpern ALS Initiative does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain activities.
Donor Privacy
The Halpern ALS Initiative does not share, transmit, or copy any confidential or personally-identifiable information.
As donations are processed by and support the ALS Therapy Development Institute ("ALS TDI"), the Halpern ALS Initiative does not collect financial information. For more information, please read ALS TDI's Privacy Policy.
Protection of Personally-Identifying Information
The Halpern ALS Initiative will not rent or sell personally-identifying information to anyone. If you provided the Halpern ALS Initiative with your email address, you may occasionally receive emails to tell you about new fundraising opportunities or news.
