D.     Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it and you have certain data protection rights. Specifically we process your Personal Data because: we need to perform a contract with you; you have given us permission to do so; the processing is in our legitimate interests and it’s not overridden by your rights; for payment processing purposes; or to comply with applicable laws. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data. If you wish to be informed what Personal Data we hold about you and if you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact us.

In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights: (i) Whenever made possible, you can access, update, or request deletion of your Personal Data directly within your account settings section. If you are unable to perform these actions yourself, please contact us to assist you. (ii) You have the right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete. (iii) You have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data. (iv) You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information. (v) You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable, and commonly used format. (vi) You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where Extended Housing, Inc. relied on your consent to process your personal information. (vii) You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority in the European Economic Area (EEA).

E.     Retention of Data

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, to comply with applicable law), to resolve disputes, and/or to enforce our legal agreements and policies. We will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

F.     Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. If you are located outside United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, within the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your express agreement to that transfer. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

G.     Disclosure of Data

  1. Business Transaction. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred to such acquiring or resulting entity. We will provide notice to you before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
  2. Disclosure for Law Enforcement. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
  3. Legal Requirements. We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: comply with a legal obligation; protect and defend our rights or property; prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service; protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public; and/or protect against legal liability.

H.     Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data but cannot guarantee the absolute security of such data. When you submit personal information (including credit card, address, email address, and phone number data) using our website – for example, if you register for an event, make an online donation, or submit an inquiry– we have systems in place that ensure people outside of Extended Housing cannot access your personal information. Tampering with the Service is against the law. If you or anyone tries to tamper with the Service, they may be punished under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.

I.      Service Providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. We will not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. These third parties may have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. Such third parties may include:

  • Google Analytics
    Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services and cannot attest to the accuracy of information provided there. Linking to a website does not constitute our endorsement of the site or the products presented there. We shall have absolutely no liability or responsibility for any other site other than the Service.

K.     Children’s Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone minors, i.e. anyone under the age of 18 years old (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18.
