Privacy policy.

Last updated: November 5, 2023

Thank you for your interest in MS I’mpossible! We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to serving young adults under the age of 30 who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us by donating to MS I’mpossible, by signing up for our newsletters, or by reaching out to us through our website.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection

The type of personal information (“Personal Information”) that we collect depends on how you engage with MS I’mpossible:

·       If you sign up for newsletters or request other information from us, we will collect and store your email address and name in order to provide you with the information you have requested.

·       If you provide a donation to MS I’mpossible, we will collect your name, email address, telephone number, and home address. We use a third party payment system to collect and process credit card or payment information; that information is not provided directly to MS I’mpossible.

·       If you reach out to MS I’mpossible for consideration as a client or to access our network of resources, we will collect your name, email address, telephone number and some information about your health concerns. We ask that you do not share medical records with us.

·       If you reach out as a potential practitioner, we will collect your name, email address, telephone number, office address and other information about your credentials as needed to ensure a good fit within our network.

Data Retention

We take measures to delete your Personal Information or keep it in a form that does not permit identifying you when this information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we process it, unless we need to retain certain information as required by law. We retain Personal Information during any period in which you have expressed an interest in our organization. For clients and practitioners, we retain Personal Information during the term of your relationship with us and for up to five years thereafter as needed for recordkeeping purposes or as may be required by law.

Public Forums

We may make message boards, news groups and/or other public forums available to individuals who are interested in speaking with other people who have been diagnosed with or affected by multiple sclerosis. While these message boards will only be accessible to those who are registered users, any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when using these and avoid posting any personal information or health information on these public forums.

Service Providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to perform certain tasks on our behalf. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform such tasks and are obligated not to disclose or use your information for any other purpose.

Payment processing

Payments made on the site are made through our payment gateway provider. You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to the operator which operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information and authorizing payment. Information which you supply is not within our control and is subject to the operator's own privacy policy and terms and conditions.

Communications

We may use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send or by contacting us.

Compliance With Laws

We will disclose your Personal Information where required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement or to protect the security or integrity of our Service.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, and we strive to implement and maintain reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we store, in order to protect it from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and we are unable to guarantee the absolute security of the Personal Information we have collected from you.

Links To Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not designed for use by anyone under the age of 13 ("Children").

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you learn that your Children have provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from children under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Specific States

Certain U.S. states, including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah, have passed privacy laws for consumers (including, without limitation the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”)). If you are a consumer in a state where such privacy laws have been passed, you may have additional rights under such laws regarding how we use and share your Personal Information.

For the purposes of the CCPA, we do not sell your Personal Information. We may provide Personal Data to have our Service Providers, as defined by the CCPA, perform services for us. In addition, we may disclose Personal Information to third parties for purposes described in this Privacy Policy, as permitted by U.S. state data privacy laws.
