HOW WE USE & DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Dual Threat may provide the information it collects through this site to third parties who provide services on Dual Threat ‘s behalf and, with your permission, to Dual Threat’s business partners. For example, we use one or more third-party financial institutions to process our credit card transactions. They receive the credit card number and other personal information of our donors only to verify credit card numbers and to process credit card transactions in a secure environment. We also occasionally hire other companies to perform limited services on our behalf. We only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service and prohibit them from using that information for any other purpose. Aggregated, depersonalized traffic data is shared with certain advertisers to optimize campaigns.

We respect our donors’ choices and control over their information. You, as a donor, may, at any time, have your name excluded from any donor list exchange activity. To ask that your name be excluded from list exchange activity or to otherwise change how Dual Threat contacts you, please email us at admin@dualthreatprep.org.

Dual Threat may disclose information it collects through this site when required to do so by a court, regulatory agency, subpoena, law, regulation, or other body of competent jurisdiction and authority, and for administrative and other purposes that Dual Threat deems necessary to maintain, service, and improve its products and services and to protect its rights and property. Finally, if you become involved in any violation of security, violation of this website’s Terms of Use, or violation of any party’s or third party’s rights, Dual Threat may release information about you to assist in investigating, resolving, or remediating any such incidents.

Please note that we may de-identify or aggregate personal information so that it will no longer be considered “personal information” and disclose such information to other parties for purposes consistent with those described in this Notice.

INFORMATION SECURITY

SSL and Encryption. In order to enhance privacy and security, Dual Threat maintains a current Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption Certificate on official Dual Threat Sites that permit a donor or supporter to provide their personal data.

Restricting Access to Your Information. Dual Threat employs commercially reasonable managerial and technical measures to help protect the security and integrity of the personal information it collects online through this site. You acknowledge, however, that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Dual Threat strives to protect your personal information, Dual Threat cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to or from this site.
