“Cookies” are simple text files stored on your computer for use by a browser. Certain Site or Service features may only be available through the placement of a cookie. We may use “cookies” to assist in data collection and to track visitor Site and Services usage and trends to help us better serve you. The use of cookies is a standard practice among Internet web sites; most Internet browsers permit a user to accept, decline or delete cookies. We may use persistent cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the Site and our Services. Specifically, we may use persistent cookies to track whether you are logged into the Site or our Services. A persistent cookie may remain on your local device for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. We may set a persistent cookie to store how you came to the Site and what items you interact with. Persistent cookies also enable tracking and targeting the interests of our users to enhance their experience on the Site. If you reject cookies, you will still be able to view the Site, but your ability to use some areas of the Site may be limited. Some of our business partners (e.g., analytical tracking software providers) may use cookies and tracking technologies on the Site. We have no access to or control over these cookies or tracking technologies. This Policy covers the use of cookies on milliegiving.com and the Company platform by us only, and does not cover the use of cookies or tracking technologies by any such business partner.
When you use the Site or Services, we may employ clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons) which are used to track the online usage patterns of our users anonymously. No personal information from your account is collected using these clear gifs. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients. The information is used to enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and make the Site or Services better for our users.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Our Site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal data is required and to make online donations you must use an SSL-enabled browser in order to protect the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of an inadvertent disclosure of your personal data we will take commercially reasonable steps to limit and remedy the disclosure as required by applicable law. If you have any questions about the security of our Site and the Services, you can contact us via email at team@milliegiving.com or telephone at (339) 364-2018.
We will retain personal data about you for the period necessary to perform the Services for you and for the purposes outlined in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law and/or regulations. Notwithstanding this, we may retain your personal data where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person.

We will not materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
