Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions
THE CAREBOX NETWORK protects your information and respects your inbox.
Introduction
THE CAREBOX NETWORK is a not-for-profit organization that operates the www.careboxnetwork.org website. Our goal is to support every day caregivers and the person receiving a care service (caree).
This policy explains how we protect the personal information of people who use our website. THE CAREBOX NETWORK values and respects the privacy of our members. We believe you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used. Except where we get your consent, we will not share your personal information with unaffiliated organizations.
What information do we collect?
THE CAREBOX NETWORK collects limited information about our members and supporters such as name, contact details, and how you came into contact with us via email and SMS. We collect this information in a range of different situations, such as when someone visits our website, when they sign a petition, when they fill out a form from an online ad, when they opt-in into our text action alerts, when they come to an event, or when a partner organization joins a campaign that THE CAREBOX NETWORK is running. Our information systems also collect information about the way that you use our website, so that we can continue to improve our website and our campaigns.
How do we use your personal information?
We ask for your personal information so that we can stay in contact with you and let you know of new campaigns and other opportunities to take part via email and SMS. We will send approximately 1-2 emails a week and 2 texts per month. Email and messages will include fundraising requests.
Please email info@thecareboxnetwork.org to be unsubscribed from the email and/or SMS list or if you have any questions. If you'd like us to delete your contact altogether from our records, email info@thecareboxnetwork.org
Message and data rates may apply for SMS or MMS texts. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
How to optout?
Please email info@thecareboxnetwork.org to be unsubscribed from the email and/or SMS list or if you have any questions. If you'd like us to delete your contact altogether from our records, email info@thecareboxnetwork.com
When might we give anyone else access to your personal information?
Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third party. We also do not hand our membership lists over to other groups. From time to time, we might let you know about an exciting or important campaign being run by a partner organization via email (only). When we do this, THE CAREBOX NETWORK will notify its membership but will not hand over member information without consent.
For our campaigns to be effective, it is important that our members and supporters be visible in the effort to bring awareness to the status of caregivers. So if you participate in specific campaign actions such as adding your name to a petition, uploading content to our site, joining our text action alerts, or writing a letter to a news media organization, your information, including your name and the city and state where you live may be made available to the target of the action (often an elected official or public figure). We may also include on our website or in other communications your comments, along with your first name, last initial, and where you are located (city or state).
Like many organizations, we use specialist service providers to help run parts of our operations. This means that for us to run our normal operations, service providers such as web hosts and email or SMS providers will sometimes need access to the database we hold on our members. We require them to keep this information confidential.
The exceptional situations when The CareBox Network might disclose information about you include when it is required by law, when it is necessary for something you have requested from us and when necessary to protect someone’s safety, rights or property.
