Privacy Policy
Welcome to the DEI Toolkit website (the “Site”). Charities Review Council is committed to maintaining the privacy and
security of your personal information and survey information. “Personal Information” means information that identifies
you personally, including your name, physical address, email address, phone number, or credit card information.
“Survey Information” means the information you provide to us as you respond to the survey contained on the Site; it
includes some sensitive demographic information such as race/ethnicity, gender, age, religion, and disability, but it
does not include any Personal Information. As part of our commitment to the privacy and security of your Personal
Information and Survey Information, Charities Review Council has developed this Privacy Policy to make you aware of
our information gathering practices and how we use the information we receive.
The Site is currently in Beta testing. The purpose of the Beta testing is to locate and correct any errors in the website
functionality. We cannot make any warranties or guarantees about the functionality of the Site during Beta testing;
while this Privacy Policy describes the intended functionality of the Site, we cannot guarantee that the Site will
function as intended or that your information will be protected as described during Beta testing. You use the Site at
your own risk during Beta testing. If you are not comfortable with acting as a Beta tester, please do not use the Site.
Should you encounter any errors during Beta testing, please let us know by contacting us at 651-224-7030 or by email
at toolkit@smartgivers.org. Your assistance is appreciated.
By using the Site, you signify your agreement to the terms of this privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy"). If you do not
agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use this Site. Charities Review Council reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to modify, alter or otherwise update this Privacy Policy at any time. You will be notified of changes to
the Privacy Policy via email if you are an administrator or a project manager, or via a notation next to the link to
the Privacy Policy from the main page of the Site stating that the Privacy Policy is new and the date on which it was
updated if you are a survey taker. The last date on which the Privacy Policy was updated was March 20, 2017. By
continuing to use this Site after changes to the Privacy Policy are posted, you agree to these modifications,
alterations and/or updates.
Please also review the Terms and Conditions of Use
of this Site, to which the Privacy Policy forms a part.
Gathering and Use of Information You Provide to Us
You can visit and browse this Site without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information. If you choose
only to look at the Site and do not wish to sign up as an administrator or project manager, you need not provide any
Personal Information. You can also visit the Site, but not review the survey questions, without providing any Survey
Information. If you wish to take the survey, all questions in the questionnaire must be answered. Note that while
Charities Review Council uses your email address in order to provide you a personalized link to the survey, your email
address is not kept associated with your survey answers; instead, each survey is assigned a unique identifier that is
not associated with any Personal Information. If you are an administrator or project manager and also take the survey,
your Survey Information will not be associated with your Personal Information.
If you want to be an administrator or project manager, you will need to create an account. When you create an account
with us, we will ask you for the following Account Information, which includes some Personal Information: first and
last name, organization name and EIN, work email address, work address, billing information, and work telephone number.
We will also ask you to create a password for your account. Please remember that you are responsible for the security
of your password; choose a strong password and do not share it with others. Your Account Information may be used for
various marketing and/or business purposes including, but not limited to, providing goods or services you have requested,
customizing your experience on the Site, resolving disputes, troubleshooting problems, and enforcing our agreements with
you. In addition, if you opt in, we will use your Account information for direct mailings or emailings from Charities
Review Council. We will share your Account Information within our corporate family and with our third-party vendors as
necessary for these purposes.
Survey Information may be used for reporting purposes including reporting to your organization and generating general
reports regarding organizations like yours. These reports will allow filtering based on sensitive characteristics to
see how, for example, all white men responded to a particular question. However, all such reporting will be on an
aggregate basis. In order to ensure the privacy of your Survey Information, no result for any single survey question
will be reported for fewer than 3 people at a time, and no report will ever include all of your survey answers in one
place.
Gathering and Use of Information Automatically Collected
When you visit this Site, our Web servers may collect some information automatically, such as your Internet protocol
address, the identity of your Internet Service Provider, your operating system, and the time and date of your visit.
This information is not linked to Personal Information. This information is used to compile aggregate statistics about
the total number of daily visitors to our Site, the pages most frequently visited and how long visitors tend to stay
at each page. By collecting this information, we get a better understanding of your preferences so we can continually
improve your online experience with us.
We may use “cookies” or other tracking mechanisms that link the Personal Information you have provided to Charities
Review Council on this Site to the items in your shopping cart. You can disable cookies in your browser settings,
but certain features of the Site may not work if you do.

If you choose to use one of our contact email addresses or a blank survey answer to send us any information other than

for keeping that information private. Please see our Terms and Conditions of Use for further information about our policies regarding unsolicited information.

injury, such as in the event of product recalls, fraud, claims or other liability. Charities Review Council does not

We do not endorse and are not responsible for the information practices or privacy policies of websites operated by
others that may be linked to or from this Site. If you decide to access a third party’s website that may be linked
to or from this Site, you should consult that website’s privacy policy.
Business Transition
The information covered by this Privacy Policy is an asset of Charities Review Council and will become part of our
normal business records. If the Site is sold or otherwise transferred to a third party, your information may be
transferred to that third party.
Updating Your Information
If any of the Personal Information or Account Information you submitted to our Site is inaccurate or outdated or
otherwise needs to be changed, please log into your account and correct it.
You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past transactions,
you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on this Site. In addition, it may be impossible to completely
delete your information without some residual information remaining because of backups.
You will be given an opportunity to review and correct your Survey Information prior to submitting it; however, Survey
Information cannot be updated or corrected once submitted.
How We Secure Your Information
This Site has industry-standard measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our
control. Personal Information you submit to our Site is stored for us by Microsoft in a HIPAA compliant Microsoft Cloud
database. For more information on Microsoft’s information security practices, visit
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/Apps-and-Data.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that: 1) there are privacy and security
risks to the Internet which are beyond our control; 2) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information
exchanged between you and us through the Site cannot be guaranteed; and 3) any information or data may be viewed or tampered
with by a third party while in transit.
However, these measures standing alone are not sufficient to ensure the security of your Personal Information. It is also
important for you to guard against unauthorized access to your passwords and unauthorized use of your computer.
Children
Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. For that reason, our Site does not intentionally solicit,
collect and/or maintain personally identifiable information from users under age 13. If you are under the age of 13, we ask
that you do not submit any Personal Information to us and use this Site only under the supervision of a parent or guardian.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has submitted Personal Information to us, please contact us at
651-224-7030, and we will delete your child’s Personal Information from our records.
Applicable Law
This Privacy Policy shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Minnesota,
without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. You expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any
claim or action arising out of or relating to this Privacy Policy or your use of this Site shall be filed only in the state
or federal courts located in the State of Minnesota, and you further agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction
of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action.
