privacy policy Your privacy is important, so Vipani, Inc. has created the following privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to let you know what information we collect when you visit our site ("Site"), why we collect it and how it is used. This Privacy Policy explains the data collection and use practices of Vipani.org; it does not apply to other online or offline Vipani sites, products or services. The terms "you," "your," and "yours" refer to the customer/purchaser utilizing our Site. The terms "Vipani," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Vipani. This Privacy Policy is governed by our Terms of Use. By using this Site, you consent to the data practices prescribed in this statement. We may periodically make changes to this Privacy Policy that we will include on this page. It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy frequently and remain informed about any changes to it, so we encourage you to visit this page often. What Information Is Collected? "Personally Identifiable Information" means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, home or other physical address, an email address, phone number or other contact information, whether at work or at home. Vipani does not collect Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily submit such Personally Identifiable Information to our Site by, for example, filling out a survey or registration or donation form. Vipani also automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookie information and the page you request. This type of information is shared externally only on an aggregated basis. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but you may no longer be able to properly access certain functions of the site. How Is Such Information Used? We may use the Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us by e-mail or by another method of submitting information to tell you about future Vipani news that we feel may be of interest to you, to contact you regarding your donation or to request additional support of Vipani. Personally Identifiable Information may be used to contact you again either by online electronic communication (such as e-mail), or by regular mail. Vipani carries out its mission in part through the use of non-employee volunteers ("Volunteers"). Such Volunteers may require access to Personally Identifiable Information in order to perform tasks such as preparing mailings. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide these Volunteers the information they need to perform such tasks and use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit them from using that information for any other purpose. Vipani may occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide those companies the Personally Identifiable Information they need to deliver the service and use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit them from using that information for any other purpose. Is The Information Shared or Disclosed? Vipani does not rent or sell any Personally Identifiable Information it collects about you to or with third parties. Vipani does not share any Personally Identifiable Information with third parties except as specifically described above. Personally Identifiable Information collected from you is only used to support your use of the Site and to comply with any requirements of law. Vipani may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Vipani or this Site; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Vipani; or (3) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Vipani, its web sites or the public. Choice Please be aware that this Privacy Policy and the choices you make on this Site will not necessarily apply to personal information you may have provided to Vipani in the context of other types of Vipani interactions. Access Upon request, we will provide you with the contact information we maintain about you so that you may request corrections.

Vipani, Inc. The Security of Your Information Vipani makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation that the use of our Site is protected from viruses, security threats, or other vulnerabilities and that your information will always be secure. If Vipani learns of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using this Site or providing Personally Identifiable Information to us you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of this Site. Vipani may post a notice on our Site if a security breach occurs. If this happens, you will need a web browser enabling you to view the Site. Vipani may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should notify us by email at info (at) vipani (dot) org. International Transfers Personally Identifiable Information collected on this Site may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Vipani or its affiliates or agents maintain facilities, and by using this Site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. Children This Site is not intended for or directed to persons under the age of 13. Any person who provides their information to Vipani through e-mail or any other part of the Vipani Site represents to Vipani that they are 13 years of age or older. Cookies Cookies are small text files stored by your browser in your computer when you visit our Site. We may decide to use cookies to improve our Site and make it easier to use. Cookies would permit us to recognize users and avoid repetitive requests for the same information. We would mostly use "session cookies" that are automatically deleted after each visit. Most browsers will accept cookies until you change your browser settings to refuse them. Your Consent To This Privacy Policy By using this Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This is our entire and exclusive Privacy Policy and it supersedes any earlier version. Our Terms of Use take precedence over any conflicting Privacy Policy provision. We may change this Privacy Policy by posting a new version of this Privacy Policy on this Site which it is your responsibility to review. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting the Personally Identifiable Information we collect. Your continued use of this Site constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Statement and any updates. If a new version of this Privacy Policy is somehow materially less restrictive or protective of your privacy than the current Privacy Policy, we will not apply the less protective aspects of the revised policy to Personally Identifiable Information that you have previously provided to us without first obtaining your consent. If we have a way of contacting you electronically, we will do so in the way you have instructed us to obtain your consent. Donations to Vipani At the current time, it is not possible to make donations directly to Vipani through the Site, and we have instead chosen to link to the web site of another non-profit organization to collect and transfer to us any online donations and associated information our visitors may choose to give. This site may have its own agreements governing use and privacy and we highly recommend that you review that site's terms of use, privacy policy, and other policies. This Vipani Privacy Policy does not apply to any aspect of the donation process or to any page that does not include the domain name "vipani.org". Information transferred to us from the donation collection site may then be used by Vipani to contact you regarding your donation, such as to send you thank you notes and receipts. If you are not comfortable donating through that site, please request information about how to donate by phone or mail by writing to info (at) vipani (dot) org or:
Vipani, Inc. Legal Disclaimer This Site operates "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE," without liability of any kind. We are not responsible for events beyond our direct control. Contacting Vipani Please contact us by email at info (at) vipani (dot) org or by postal mail at:
