1000yr Privacy Policy

Review our Privacy Policy to understand what information 1000yr collects from donors and users of its site, and how this information is used.

Introduction & Scope

DBA 1000yr (herein referred to as “1000yr,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), respects the privacy of our donors and web site visitors and are committed to protecting personal information entrusted to us. This document describes our policy related to the gathering and disseminating of information obtained from users of our services. Our aim is for you — a valued user of our site — to always feel informed and empowered with respect to your privacy on 10000yr.

This Privacy Policy applies to 1000yr’s hard copy publications and its web site located at www. 1000yr.org (“Site” or “Web Site”). The policy relates to information we collect, including personally identifiable information as well as information that does not identify donors and Web Site users personally. Our Web Site contains links to third-party web sites for the convenience of its visitors. This policy does not apply to web sites owned or operated by other organizations, companies, or individuals, as these third-parties may have their own privacy policies related to the information they collect from you.

Types of Personally Identifiable Information Collected & How It May Be Used

10000yr collects and stores the personally identifiable information of its donors, members, and others who have contacted or requested information from 10000yr. Such information may include names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses. We do not share personal information—such as names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, or email addresses—with anyone, except to the extent necessary to process transactions and provide access to, or information about, 10000yr's information and services. 10000yr takes practical measures to protect the personal information we collect and does not disclose this information to third-parties for their marketing or fundraising purposes.

Names

10000yr collects first and/or last names voluntarily provided to us by donors, members, visitors to our Web Site, and others who have requested information from us, or who have contacted us via phone, postal mail, email, or our Web Contact Form. We may use these names to process transactions and provide access to, or information about, 10000yr 's information and services, or for the purpose of contacting members, donors, and others about their online user accounts, membership information, tax receipts for donations, renewal notices, donor alerts, and occasional fundraising efforts.

Email Addresses

10000yr collects email addresses voluntarily provided to us by donors, members, visitors to our Web Site, and others who have requested information from us, or who have contacted us via phone, postal mail, email, or our Web Contact Form. In accordance with our Terms of Use, 10000yr members, journalists, and others who choose to create online accounts to gain access to restricted content on our Site are required to provide us with a current email address.

We may use the email addresses we have collected to communicate with 10000yr members and others who have voluntarily provided their email addresses to us. Such communications are typically regarding online user accounts, membership information, tax receipts for online donations, renewal notices, donor alerts, and occasional fundraising efforts.

Types of Non-Personally Identifiable Information Collected & How It May Be Used

We may collect non-personally identifiable information from you when you visit and interact with our Web Site. This is information that is commonly collected by web site operators. 10000yr uses this information, such as tracking the number of unique site visitors and the browsers and other technology they use to access our Web Site, in order to optimize the Site’s functionality and enhance user experience. This may include the proxy address of your Internet service provider (ISP) and your Internet protocol (IP) address; the query in the request; the version and name of your web browser; data related to sent or received cookies (described below); the uniform resource locator (URL) that was used to request access to our server; the pages accessed by users on our Site; and other commonly collected environmental variables.

Log Files

Log files consist of information sent to our Web Site by Web Site visitors’ computers. Like many web site operators, our Web Site servers collect and store non-personally identifiable information from anyone who visits the 10000yr.org Web Site. The data in these log files is used in aggregate to analyze site traffic, trends, and clicks, which enables us to administer and improve our Web Site. Data stored in log files may include information about site visitors’ IP addresses, browsers, ISPs, operating systems, standard web log data, and other information.

Cookies

Cookies are pieces of numeric data stored on your computer. Many web sites, including 10000yr.org, use them to identify a unique visitor returning to the web site. 10000yr can only detect cookies placed on your computer by our own Web Site. Cookies are not linked to any personally identifiable information. Web site users have the option of disabling cookies by adjusting their browser settings. Be aware, however, that disabling cookies may affect your ability to access certain portions of our Web Site. If this occurs, the problem can generally be remedied by re-enabling cookies and refreshing your browser.

Aggregated Data

Aggregated data is information we may gather and compile that is non-personally identifiable or linked to specific users of our Web Site. There are no restrictions under this Policy that restrict our right to aggregate this information, which we may share with third-parties and use in various ways, such as to understand the interests or popular content accessed by our Web Site visitors as a group.

User IDs & Passwords

10000yr members, journalists, and others who choose to create online accounts to gain access to restricted content on our Site have unique user IDs and passwords. The email address voluntarily provided to 10000yr upon creation of an online account is the user ID, and users choose their own passwords.

Users should not share their passwords with third-parties, should not store their passwords on shared computers, and should always log out of their accounts when finished using our Web Site. Passwords are the property of private users, and in the interest of privacy and security 10000yr will not disclose passwords to anyone. If a user forgets his or her password the user can contact us support@10000yr.org to reset it.

Protection of Data from Loss

10000yr has implemented physical and electronic security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information we receive from donors to 10000yr and users of the 10000yr Web Site.
