Information We Collect

Personal Information

“Personally Identifiable Information” (or “PII”) refers to contact information that directly or indirectly tells specifically who you are, such as your name, phone number, company name, job, email, job title, research projects, postal address, or any other information that could be linked to you with reasonable effort. This information may be collected when you voluntarily provide it to us.

How We Collect and Use Your Information

We collect PII directly from you when you voluntarily complete a “Subscribe,” “Contact Us,” “Application,” or “Grantee Portal” form, and when you request that we send you emails or resources. Before collecting your PII, you will have the option to give or withhold your consent for our sending you emails including our use of your PII for marketing emails to promote our resources, programming, and services. You may withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing to our emails by using an opt-out link contained in every email.

We may make full use of your Usage Data (for example email bounces, clicks on hyperlinks in emails, web page visits, and web downloads) for purposes such as to customize email communications and to analyze the performance of those emails, as well as your interaction with our website. Subject to your right to opt-out, we may combine Usage Data with PII that we collect, and use the combined data for purposes of improving our resources, programming, and services and your user experience with our website.

When We Act as Controller

We will be acting as the “Controller” of the personal data you provide directly to us via a “Subscribe,” “Contact Us,” “Application,” or “Grantee Portal” form, when creating an account, signing up for email communication, applying, or via other contact methods. You are not required to provide your personal information for purposes of navigating through the public areas of our website.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We will not retain your PII or Usage Data for longer than required. This means that we will keep your PII or Usage Data for any or a combination of time periods described as follows: (i) until we no longer have a valid reason for keeping it, (ii) until you request us to stop using it, or (iii) up to 10 years.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We will not share or sell your PII with any outside parties. We may provide your PII and Usage Data to affiliated HD2A/RASC organizations. Except for sharing your information as described above, we will not disclose information about you or the contents of your communications unless compelled to do so in the good-faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary (a) to comply with the law; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to enforce these terms and conditions; or (d) to respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties.
