The Information We Collect And How We Collect It

We collect various types of information from users of the Site. We may collect personal information that can identify you such as your name, e-mail address, address, phone number, and credit card number. We also collect other personal information that you provide (such as your date of birth) that does not identify you. Some of this information is collected when you register on the Site and other information is collected automatically.

Information You Provide

We may collect and store any personal information you enter on the Site. On the Site, you may register for purposes of creating an account and record within our database necessary to direct payments to a charitable or other fundraising organization. Such account or record may include such personal information as your name, e-mail address, address, phone number, age and credit card. Credit card information provided in connection with the payment of fees will be used solely to process the payment and will not be stored or maintained by EveryPenny.

Information Collected Automatically

We automatically collect certain types of information from your browser when you visit the Site. For example, when you visit the Site, our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser you use as well as the page or address that you may have clicked through to the Site. When you visit the Site, we may also assign your computer one or more cookies to facilitate access to the Site, to personalize your online experience, to record and analyze information about your visit to the Site, and to otherwise administer and improve the Site for your use. EveryPenny may contract with third party service providers who use cookie technology to track and analyze usage and volume statistical information, and monitor responses to e-mail and advertising campaigns on behalf of EveryPenny. A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser and stored in your computer’s hard drive. The purpose of a cookie is to remember certain user inputs on the Site. Through the use of a cookie, we collect information about your online activity on the Site, such as the web pages you visit, the links or advertisements you click, or the other actions you take while on the Site.

EveryPenny uses both "session" and "persistent" cookies on this Site. Session cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your web browser or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. They store information on your computer for a number of reasons, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (i.e., username and password), helping to determine what areas of the Site you find most valuable, and customizing the Site based on your preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed on your computer by this Site do not store any personal information.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in or use some of the interactive features offered on the Site.
