Donor information is defined as the name, any address, telephone number, gift history, or any other information pertaining to a donor or potential donor to the Enterprise. We collect personal information to allow our development personnel to use information about our donors and this Donor Privacy Statement describes how we collect, use and share it.

The Enterprise secures donor personal information on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

Collection of Personal Information
The Enterprise collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. The Enterprise also collects demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

Our Use of Cookies
The Enterprise websites use cookies to enhance your online experience. Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your computer's hard drive. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie also may contain information about your computer, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our website.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The cookie tells the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the 50¶È»Ò pages or register with the 50¶È»Ò website, a cookie helps the website recall your specific information on subsequent visits and thereby simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the 50¶È»Ò website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the ASU Foundation features that you customized.
We also use analytics cookies to help us understand how our website is used and how effective marketing campaigns are, and to help us improve our website for you. Some web browsers provide settings that allow you to control or reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. The procedure for managing cookies is slightly different for each internet browser. You can check the specific steps in your particular browser help menu. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the features of the Enterprise websites you visit.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) have a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that tells a website that a user does not want to have his or her online activity tracked. If a website that responds to a DNT signal receives a DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, we, like many organizations, we do not respond to DNT signals.
Changes to this Donor Privacy Statement
The Enterprise will occasionally update this Donor Privacy Statement. We will notify you before any material change that reduces your privacy rights takes effect so that you have time to review the changes. Any change becomes effective when we post the revised Privacy Statement and update the Effective Date above. Your use of the website following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
Information Retention
We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Donor Privacy Statement for our legitimate business purposes unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
Your Choices about Your Personal Information
If you would like to review, correct, update, suppress, restrict or delete personal information that you have previously provided to us, or if you would like to receive an electronic copy of your personal information for purposes of transmitting it to another company (if this right to data portability is provided to you by law), you can contact us at privacyanddataprotection@asuep.org.
In your request, please make clear what personal information you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have your personal information suppressed from our database, or other limitations you would like to put on our use of your personal information. For your protection, we only fulfill requests for the personal information associated with the particular email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. We will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
Please note that we often need to retain certain data for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transaction that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion. Our databases and other records may have residual data which will not be removed. In addition, we also may not allow you to review certain data for legal, security or other reasons.
