We have developed the Website so that you can access and use it without being required to provide your name, email address, phone number, mailing address or similar personal information.

When you interact with the Website, certain information about your use of the Website is collected automatically. This information may include your domain name and host for Internet access; the Internet address of the site from which you came; the date and time of your access; your computer’s IP address and information about its operating system, browser and host; and the Website pages you visit. Much of this information is collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies, as well as through your web browser or device.

  • Provide, maintain, personalize, optimize, and improve the Website and our programs and services; and
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent activities that may violate our policies or be fraudulent or illegal.

How We Share Your Information

We will only share your personal information with third parties in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy or with your consent. For these purposes, “personal information” means your name, email address, home address, phone number, and other information that personally identifies you.

We may provide your personal information to third parties who are acting on our behalf or assisting us in providing services to you, such as data storage, maintenance services, hosting services, database management, marketing, web analytics, and payment processing.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, nor do we share personal information (in this case, as defined by California’s “Shine the Light” law) with third parties and/or affiliates for such third parties’ or affiliates’ own direct marketing purposes.

We may use or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on us or the Website; (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, the Website, or our users; and (iii) act under emergency circumstances to protect the personal safety of us, our affiliates, our agents, or the users of the Website or the public.

We may share information we collect about you (other than personal information), including de-identified information, with third parties, including researchers.

Security 

TOA strives to protect the transmission and storage of any information collected from Website users and has implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no transmission and storage of data is completely secure, and TOA cannot and does not guarantee the security of personal information transmitted via our Website. Any such transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

Cookies

In addition to personal information that you disclose to us for a specific purpose, TOA also collects other information about your browsing behavior when you visit the Website through the use of cookies. Cookies are small data files stored in your browser when you access the Website on your computer or mobile device. TOA uses cookies to collect information about you to support the functionality and performance of the Website, as well as for the purpose of targeting and tailoring Website content. You can limit or disable the use of cookies on our Website via the cookies pop-up at the bottom of the screen or by adjusting your browser settings.

Third-Party Websites, Applications and Services 

The Website may also contain links to other third-party websites, applications, and services, including for the purpose of facilitating and processing donations to TOA. When you access third-party websites or use third-party services, including by providing credit or debit card details or any financial or other information, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that we are not responsible for such risks. We do not control, and assume no responsibility for, such third-party websites and applications or their privacy practices, which may differ from ours, and we do not endorse or make any representations about those third-party websites and applications.

You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the collection and use of your information by third-party websites and applications that are not under our control, and such information is not governed by this Privacy Policy.

We cannot protect your privacy once you leave our Website, so when you visit third-party websites and applications, we encourage you to be aware that you are leaving our Website. We encourage you to review the terms of service and privacy policy of each such third-party website or application that you visit or utilize and be careful about the information you submit or share.
