JK Knights Foundation Privacy Policy

The JK Knights Foundation (JKKF) believes that your privacy is very important, and we want to provide you with the following information so that you can better understand our practices in this area. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we collect, share, and protect information about you.

This Privacy Policy applies to JKKF and governs consumer data collection and use. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise noted all references to JKKF, “we,” “us,” and “our” include JK Knights Foundation and our website, which is used to provide fundraising opportunities for The Honorable Sidney Barthwell Jr. Scholarship Fund. By accessing and using our website, you agree that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy and you consent to the privacy practices (and any uses and disclosures of information about you) that are described herein.

Privacy of Data

JKKF does not sell or trade our mailing, e-mail, or donor lists with external organizations. Personal information such as address, e‑mail address, demographics, giving levels, and histories are not divulged to third parties except as noted below.

Collection of Personal Information

Through your involvement with JKKF, you may be asked to fill out or update information such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone numbers, fax number, and credit card information. This is most often done through donations, written out on pledge cards or taken over the telephone. Please note that JKKF uses a third-party payment processor to process online donations. At the time of payment or of storing payment information with the payment processor, you will have the opportunity to review the terms of use and Privacy Policy relating to that third party’s collection and handling of personal information. As with many other websites, the Internet servers used to operate our website may collect certain information pertaining to you and the software, equipment, and communications method that you use to access the Internet and our website. This information can include IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of our services, to maintain quality of our services, and to provide general statistics regarding use of our website. JKKF encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from our website so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. JKKF is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of our website.

How JKKF Uses Your Personal Information

JKKF uses the information you provide us solely to inform you about the scholarship fund and to confirm donations. We may disclose the information you provide us only to those of our contractors and their employees who need your information to process it on our behalf, to provide services to you that you have requested, or to contact you on our behalf. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to JKKF, and they are contractually required to maintain the privacy and security of your information. JKKF will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on JKKF; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of JKKF; or (c) act under necessary circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our website or the public.

Children

We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. JKKF does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18 or under the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are under the age of 18, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use our website. We strongly recommend that minors ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet, and we encourage parents to teach their children about safe Internet use practices.

Updating Your Information

At any point in time, you can change your information with us. Should you desire to be removed from any form of contact or a particular form of contact, whether that be all mail, a certain type of mail, phone calls, or e-mails, please contact us via e-mail at info@barthwellscholars.org and let us know your preferences.

Changes to This Policy

From time to time, we may change this Privacy Policy and our privacy practices because of changes in relevant and applicable legal or regulatory requirements, in our business practices, in our attempts to better serve your needs, and in response to your feedback. When we do so, we will post a revised Privacy Policy on our website and a new effective date below. Any such change will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to be informed of any such changes and how JKKF is protecting and using your information.
