FIREAID PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: January 14, 2025

Thank you for your interest in Fire Aid. This Privacy Policy describes how Fire Aid Inc. (“FireAid,” “we,” or “us”), collects, uses, discloses and otherwise processes information about you. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you access or use our website or our other offerings that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “Services”). We may provide different or additional notices of our privacy practices for certain services or activities, in which case those notices will supplement or replace the disclosures in this Privacy Policy.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy. If we make material changes, we will provide you with additional notice (such as by sending you a notification). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information directly from you when you fill out a form, make a donation, register for an event or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information that we collect include your name, email address, address, phone number, payment method information, and any other information you choose to provide.

Information We Collect Automatically

We automatically collect certain information about your interactions with us or our Services, including:

Donation Information: When you make a donation, we collect information about the transaction, such as the donation amount and the date of donation.
Device and Usage Information: We collect information about how you access our Services, including data about the device and network you use, such as your hardware model, operating system version, mobile network, IP address, unique device identifiers, and browser type. We also collect information about your activity on our Services, such as access times, pages viewed, links clicked, and the page you visited before navigating to our Services.
Information Collected by Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies: We use tracking technologies, such as cookies and pixels to collect information about your interactions with the Services. These technologies help us improve our Services and your experience, see which areas and features of our Services are popular, and count visits.

Information We Collect from Other Sources

We obtain information from other sources. For example, when you buy a ticket for one of our events through a ticketing agency, such as Ticketmaster, we receive information about your purchase, which can include your name, a Ticketmaster ID, contact information, and ticket(s) purchased.

Information We Derive

We may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may make inferences about your approximate location based on your IP address.

We use the categories of information we collect to:

Process donations and send you related information, including confirmations and receipts;
Provide, maintain, and improve our Services and FireAid’s offerings;
Personalize your experience on our Services or in our communications to you;
Send you technical notices, security alerts, support messages and other transactional or relationship messages;
Communicate with you about opportunities facilitated by FireAid and others and provide news and information that we think will interest you (see the Your Choices section below for information about how to opt out of these communications at any time);
Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services;
Target advertisements about FireAid to you on third-party platforms and websites;

TARGETED ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS

We engage others to provide analytics services, serve advertisements, and perform related services across the web and in mobile applications. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect information about your use of our Services and other websites and mobile apps, including your IP address, web browser and mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information. This information is used to deliver advertising targeted to your interests on other companies’ sites and services, to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your activity. In addition, we may share identifiers, like email addresses and phone numbers, with some of our advertising partners. These advertising partners translate that information into a unique identifier that can then be used to show ads that are more relevant to you across the web and in mobile apps.

You can also learn more about interest-based ads, or opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes by companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

Vendors and Service Providers. We disclose this information to our vendors, service providers, contractors and consultants who perform services for us, such as companies that assist us with donation administration, payments processing, web hosting, fraud prevention, analytics, marketing and advertising.
Law Enforcement Authorities and Individuals Involved in Legal Proceedings. We disclose this information in response to a request for information if we believe that disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation or legal process, including lawful requests by public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
