The Policy describes Living With XXY’ collection and uses for its legitimate interest of users’ Personal Information (e.g., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name, postal address, telephone number, email address, or credit or debit card number) where that information is not otherwise publicly available. It also describes generally Living With XXY’ practices for handling Other Information (e.g., interests, demographics, and site usage) collected from you, through us, or from a third party to the extent that such information is associated with a particular device or user or user account.

  1. INFORMATION WE ACQUIRE

Personal Information

“Personal Information” is the information that identifies you as an individual, such as name, postal address, telephone number, email address, and credit or debit card number.

  1. Personal Information You Submit
    1. We collect Personal Information when you submit it to us, including but not limited to when you submit a donation, register for or subscribe to specific events, products, or services, create a profile, participate in an auction, sweepstakes, game or contest, take a survey, use an interactive feature, or participate in a forum.
  2. Personal Information We Receive from Third Parties
    1. We may receive Personal Information about you from third parties, including, for example, information about your transactions, purchase history, or relationships with various product and service providers and your use of specific applications. For example, if you access an Online Service through a third-party connection or log-in, such as Facebook Connect, that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to us. This information could include but is not limited to the user ID associated with your account, any information you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service.

Other Information

“Other Information” is any information that does not reveal your specific identities, such as browser information, information collected through cookies and other technologies, demographic information, and aggregated information. We may combine Other Information with your Personal Information, and when we do, we treat the combined information as Personal Information.

  1. Other Information You Submit: We collect Other Information when you submit it to us. It may include your age, gender, education, occupation, financial information, interests, photos, connections, and comments.
  2. Other Information We Receive from Third Parties: We may receive Other Information about you from third parties, including but not limited to demographic data, information about your interests, and information about your activities on other websites.

    1. Personal Data
      1. Personal data is collected when users provide personal information that is not publically available to Living With XXY, for example, by registering through the Site and donating funds. The personal information you provide must be true, accurate, and complete, and all registration details (where applicable) must contain your real name, address, and other requested details.
      2. Aggregated information, such as information on traffic patterns within the Site, is collected by Living With XXY through various methods:

IP Addresses: We collect IP addresses through the Site. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the web. Web servers, the computers that “serve up” web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from the Site, our servers log your IP address. The Site does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so you will remain anonymous to us although your session will be logged.

Use of Cookies:  Living With XXY may use cookies and other tracking technologies (including browser cookies, pixels, and beacons), which are composed of small bits of data that often include a unique anonymous identifier. A cookie is a small data file that most major websites write to your device for record-keeping purposes when you visit them. Cookies are used by Living With XXY to measure activity on the Site and make improvements and updates based on which areas are popular and which are not. We will make available cookies containing non-personally identifiable information such as IP address and pages viewed regarding your activity on the Site to certain third-party providers with whom we work to show advertisements relating to this Site that may be of interest to you. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the Site will not function properly if you do so.

  1. Children and Privacy
    1. We will not knowingly market to or collect personally identifiable information from children under age 13.
