PRIVACY POLICY
Bridges Outreach places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate Bridges’ firm commitment to the privacy of our donors, supporters and website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected by the Bridges’ website, bridgesoutreach.org, and through all other methods, and how this information is used.
What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
Individuals who (i) register at bridgesoutreach.org, (ii) sign up to receive Bridges Outreach e-communications and/or (iii) donate to, volunteer with or otherwise support Bridges voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name and email address, postal address, phone number, and credit or debit card info).

How Your Information May Be Used
We use your information to provide you with personalized service, to send email alerts to you, to answer your requests, to mail information or donation requests to you, to schedule and arrange a street outreach Run, etc. We may also use your on-line information to track visitors to our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve users’ needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties. You may choose to opt out at any time as described below, which will cease all communications from us.
Modifications
We may amend this privacy policy from time to time; please review it periodically. We maintain the option to modify this policy at any time by electronic notice posted on our website. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.
