At YESS YOUTH ECONOMIC SOCIALISM SERVICES, we are deeply committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our participants, volunteers, donors, and visitors to our website. We understand the importance of privacy in today’s digital age, and we strive to ensure that all information we collect is handled with the utmost care and confidentiality. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use and protect that information, and the choices you have regarding your personal data.
Information
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you interact with our organization, whether through our website, in-person events, or other forms of communication. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, date of birth, and any other details you provide when registering for our programs, signing up for our newsletter, making a donation, or contacting us with inquiries. We also collect information related to your participation in our programs, such as your interests, preferences, and feedback, which helps us tailor our services to better meet your needs.
In addition to the personal information you provide directly, we may also collect certain information automatically when you visit our website. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, and information about your browsing behavior, such as the pages you visit and the links you click. We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your online experience, remember your preferences, and gather analytics that help us improve our website and services. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, but please note that some features of our website may not function properly without them.
How We Protect Your Information
At YESS, we take the security of your personal information very seriously. We have implemented a range of physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our website is secured with industry-standard encryption technologies to ensure that your information is transmitted safely over the internet. We also restrict access to personal information to only those staff members and volunteers who need it to perform their duties, and we regularly review our security practices to keep up with the latest threats and vulnerabilities.
Despite our best efforts, no security measures are completely foolproof, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. However, we are committed to responding quickly and transparently in the unlikely event of a data breach. If we detect any unauthorized access to your personal information, we will notify you promptly and take the necessary steps to mitigate the impact and prevent further breaches.
Sharing Your Information
We respect your privacy and will never sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share your information with trusted partners and service providers who assist us in carrying out our mission. For example, we may work with third-party vendors to process payments, send out newsletters, or conduct surveys. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your information and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than the services they provide to us.
In certain circumstances, we may also be required to disclose your information by law or in response to valid legal requests, such as subpoenas or court orders. Additionally, if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of our organization, our participants, or the public, we may share your information with law enforcement or other relevant authorities.
Your Choices and Rights
We believe that you should have control over your personal information, and we are committed to providing you with choices regarding how your data is used. You have the right to access, update, or correct the personal information we hold about you at any time. If you wish to review or make changes to your information, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, although please note that we may need to retain certain data for legal or operational reasons.
If you no longer wish to receive communications from us, you can unsubscribe from our mailing list by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email we send you, or by contacting us directly. We will process your request as soon as possible, but please be aware that it may take a few days for your preferences to be fully implemented.
Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of children is especially important to us. Our programs and services are designed to support youth development, and we take special care to ensure that the personal information of children under the age of 13 is collected and processed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We require parental consent before collecting personal information from children, and we do not knowingly collect more information than is necessary for participation in our programs. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately so that we can take appropriate action.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
As our organization grows and evolves, we may need to update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or to comply with new legal requirements. We will always post the most current version of our Privacy Policy on our website, and we encourage you to review it periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. If we make significant changes to the way we handle your personal information, we will notify you through our website or by email, so you can review the changes and decide whether you wish to continue using our services.
