Out of respect for your privacy, the Brittany Ann Kmonk Foundation provides this information explaining our online information practices.

The Foundation will NOT share your email address with other businesses or organizations for their general use. On occasions, you may receive an email relating to the Brittany Ann Kmonk Foundation’s mission from parties acting on the Foundation’s behalf and at the Foundation’s request. These organizations help the Foundation achieve its mission by providing technology services.

By visiting the Brittany Ann Kmonk Foundation National Web site at http://www.brittfoundation.org, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

Information We Collect & How We Use It

The Foundation collects two main types of information through the Web site noted above: Personal, or "individually identifiable," information you provide to us, typically by completing online forms - examples would include an email address, physical street address, phone number, etc. With your permission, we may use this information to contact you about the Foundation’s Mission Related events or content.

Standard web server/visitor traffic information, commonly referred to as "aggregate information," regarding overall Web site traffic patterns. Normally, web servers collect this type of basic information automatically as part of their web log processes. We do not report on individual user sessions.

Individually Identifiable Information

There are instances when the Foundation requests individually identifiable information from its online users. The following are examples of situations where we might request such information from you: contacting us to request information, seeking victim support, inquiring about volunteer opportunities, requesting addition to our electronic newsletter, registering with our web site, making a donation or becoming a member, or ordering Foundation materials.

Information we may request includes the following: 

First and last name, street address, city, state, zip code, telephone number, email address, and subject of inquiry (i.e. volunteering or information requests), gender, and age.

In the case of donations, memberships, or when ordering materials, we use a third party credit card service to process standard credit card information (card number, card type, expiration date) via a secure, encrypted SSL session. SSL is the proven standard for secure Web messaging transactions.

In the case of memorial or honorary contributions, a personalized gift card is sent to a designated recipient, usually the family member of the deceased or the surviving victim. Therefore, we will request the name, address, city, state, zip code and telephone number for your designated gift card recipient. This information is only used for the purpose of sending the gift card and is not used for any other purpose.
