Information Collection and Use
AssetStream Gift Processing Center (“AssetStream”) is committed to
ensuring your privacy is protected. AssetStream is the sole owner of
any information collected using our OptiGift donation software
tool. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in
ways differently from what is disclosed in this statement. The
information AssetStream collects from users of OptiGift is used only
for the purpose of logging and processing donations.
Donors and Donations
If a user wishes to make a donation using OptiGift, AssetStream
collects personal information necessary to carry out the
transaction. The personal information collected from users includes
name, address, telephone and fax numbers, email, type of stock and
amount that the user wishes to donate, the user's brokerage firm and
brokerage account number. We may use the user's email address, mailing
address, and/or phone/fax numbers to provide instructions or to
communicate with him/her regarding the transaction (for example, a tax
receipt may be emailed once the gift is completed).
Log Files and Cookies
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information. We do not permanently store any information on the user's
computer in the form of "cookies."
Sharing and Selling
The user's personally identifiable information will be shared with
his/her brokerage firm only for the purpose and to the extent
necessary to carry out the gift transaction. The user's personally
identifiable information will also be shared with the charity
designated to receive the gift unless the user has requested to remain
anonymous, in which case the charity will not receive any personally
identifiable information. If a user initiates a transaction using
OptiGift from a third party website, user's personally identifiable
information may be shared with that party to the extent necessary to
complete the transaction. Except for the preceding, AssetStream will
not share personally identifiable information with any person or
organization. AssetStream will not sell personally identifiable
information to any person or organization. We may share aggregated
demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not
linked to any personal information that can identify any individual
person.
Links
OptiGift may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that
AssetStream is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave OptiGift and
to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by AssetStream.
Security
AssetStream takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via OptiGift,
your information is protected both online and off-line. When our site
asks users to enter sensitive information (such as brokerage account
number), that information is encrypted and is protected during
transmission using SSL. All of our users' information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above, is stored in a secure
environment. Only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job (for example, customer service representatives) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. If you have any
questions about the security of OptiGift, you can email
legal@assetstream.com.
Site and Service Updates
Occasionally we may send users site and service announcement
updates. Users are not able to un-subscribe from service
announcements, which contain important information about the service.
Notification of Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post notice of those changes
at www.AssetStream.com so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users via email. Users will have
a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner. We will use information in accordance with the
privacy policy under which the information was collected.
