How Long We Keep Personal Information
We keep personal Information, including sensitive personal Information, as long as reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect our or other’s interests. Here is what we consider when we decide:
-
The need to advance our mission.
-
The feature we use the personal data for, and how that feature works.

How long do we need to retain the information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations?
-
If we need it for other legitimate purposes, such as to prevent harm; investigate violations of our terms or policies; promote safety, security, and integrity; or protect ourselves, including our rights, property, or products.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
As with most other Internet sites, our web servers utilize “cookies” to track a user’s activity within our site as well as record the IP address of each visitor to this site. A cookie is a small data file that is stored on your computer. A cookie contains a unique identifying feature that allows our computer to recognize you when you return to the Crown of Beauty International website. The recorded IP address tells us which domain you visited from (for instance, yahoo.com), but not your email address or other private and personal information. If you wish to opt out of this type of data collection, please see the section below on Submitting a Request to Exercise Your Rights. We may use the information we record for any of the following purposes:
-
To help diagnose problems with our servers, and to administer this website more effectively.
-
To gather broad demographic information about what countries and domains our visitors come from and their behavior on our site.
-
For targeted advertising, marketing, and fundraising purposes, including through cross channel means such as email and direct mail communications.
​
In addition, this website is enabled with one or more add-on services such as Google Analytics to collect information about the use of this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies.
​
In some cases, our site uses securely encrypted contribution response forms for visitors who choose to use these forms to provide information, request information, and make donations. We collect your willingly submitted contact information (such as your email address), unique identifiers (in some cases, a Crown of Beauty International donor account number), and financial information (such as a credit card type, number, and expiration date). Contact information from these response forms is used to process donations and provide receipts and other information about Crown of Beauty International to our customers. The visitor’s contact information is also used to contact the visitor, when necessary, to resolve customer service issues or questions. Users may readily opt out of receiving future communications; see the “opt out” and “modifying your information” sections below. The financial information collected is used to bill the user for pledged donations.
Those who choose to register through various “guestbook”-type features on our site may choose to give us certain contact information (such as their email address). These features may also request optional demographic information (such as zip code). Unless you opt out, we may use this contact information to send you additional information about Crown of Beauty International and its programs. The voluntarily provided contact information may also be used to contact you, when necessary, to resolve customer service issues or questions. You may readily opt out of receiving future communications; see the “opt out” and “modifying your information” sections below.
Online Data Security
All response forms requesting confidential information (such as credit card numbers) on Crown of Beauty International’s website are secured through our third party donor processing software, Bloomerang.
