This policy covers the information practices of http://www.nfg.org (“website") and services delivered by NFG ("Services"). Below you’ll find an explanation on how we collect, use and share information. This policy applies only to NFG's collection and use of information through its website, and does not apply to the collection and use of information obtained through other means. For questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact us at hello@nfg.org.
What Information We Collect
Cookies: We may use “cookies” to collect information about visitors to our website. A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed on website user’s computer to personalize the experience and collect information about activity on the site. Each user has the ability to refuse cookies by configuring their browser accordingly. Please note that disabling cookies may disable certain features of the website.
Financial Information: We do not collect or store any financial account information for website users other than the history of their payments, dues, and program registrations. We process payments via Authorize.net, a third-party provider.
How We Use Collected Information
NFG may use the collected information to contact website users for support, the improvement of existing Services, or the announcement of new Services. Any such communications will conform to the user’s self-selected preferences. Users can opt out from receiving such notifications at any time.
Data Processed on Behalf of Users
Users utilize Services to store and process their data ("Users' Data"). NFG stores and processes Users' Data only on behalf of, and as instructed by, our users. For example, Users' Data may be viewed or accessed by NFG for the purpose of technical or user support. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their website login credentials. Unless instructed by the user (or where required by law), NFG will not review, share, distribute, print, or reference any Users' Data on our website.
Apart from the disclosures provided in this section titled "Data Processed on behalf of Users," this Privacy Policy does not apply to our processing of Users' Data.
Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
NFG only uses personal information that we receive to provide Services or to respond to inquiries. We will not disclose personally-identifying information collected through our website to third parties except as provided in this privacy policy. We reserve the right to release personally-identifying information about our website visitors when such disclosure is required by law or safety concerns. We also reserve the right to disclose personally-identifying user information to third-party vendors/contractors that maintain and support our technology infrastructure.
Surveys
We occasionally conduct online surveys to learn more about your views on important topics in philanthropy. We use the survey data to improve our programs and Services. We may publicize the results as a public service, but only in such a manner so as not to reveal any personally-identifying information.
Email Newsletters and Listserv
We may also offer you the opportunity to subscribe to a listserv or email newsletters on topics that we believe are of interest to our visitors. If you have opted to participate in a listserv and/or receive a particular newsletter, you have an option to unsubscribe at any time.
Security
Providing security for the personal information that you submit is a top priority. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, and other technologies and processes such as encryption, access control procedures, network firewalls, physical security, and other measures intended to protect the information that you provide to us. These measures increase the security and privacy of information traveling to, from, and within NFG. Only our authorized employees or agents carrying out permitted business functions are allowed to access personal information. Please be aware, however, that no physical or electronic security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our servers or databases, nor can we guarantee that the information that you supply to us will not be intercepted during transmission over the internet.
Links to Other Web Sites
Our website links to other organizations whose privacy practices may differ from those of NFG. If you submit personal information to any of these sites, your information is subject to their policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any website that you visit.

Data Retention
We retain the personal information we collect only when there is an ongoing legitimate business need to do so. For example, to provide users with the requested Service or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting regulations.
If there is no ongoing legitimate business need to store Users' Data, NFG will either delete or anonymize it. If this is not possible as is the case with archived backups, NFG will securely store Users' Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
